Outdoor Furniture Maintenance

You can see all kinds of things in the park or in the garden of a small villa. The outdoor furniture, such as recliners or cradles, including some custom-made outdoor furniture, you need to protect and study the maintenance methods carefully. Then how to maintain outdoor furniture?
Outdoor Parasol
For outdoor furniture, one of the indispensable components is sunshade appliances. Such as parasols, awnings, etc. These appliances do not need to be scrubbed, nor do they need to undergo special maintenance. Just pay attention to the lightness during placement and movement. Handle with care to avoid damage caused by bumps or local excessive force. In addition, you need to pay attention to putting it indoors when it is windy or rainy.
Outdoor parasols are widely used in outdoor projects and are usually used together with outdoor tables and chairs. When cleaning, use a mixture of white vinegar and detergent to brush lightly along the longitudinal direction of the umbrella stand, and finally rinse with water. In addition, when the outdoor parasol is not in use, it needs to be retracted in time to extend its service life.
Plastic Furniture Maintenance
There is no need to worry about the maintenance of plastic furniture. Because of the material problem of plastic, it can be cleaned with water mixed with detergent to keep it clean. It should be noted that the sun protection performance of plastic furniture is not high. So avoid exposure to the sun during use, otherwise, it will cause the fading and breakage of the plastic furniture.
Plastic wooden tables and chairs have the advantages of solid wood appearance and touch. And at the same time are widely welcomed by the market for their waterproof, moisture-proof, mildew-proof, insect-proof, high-temperature resistance, non-cracking, and easy-to-care characteristics. Plastic wood tables and chairs are generally very simple to maintain, and normal cleaning and brushing are enough.
Maintenance of PE/PVC rattan tables and chairs
Under normal circumstances, you only need to scrub the rattan tables and chairs with clean water. And if necessary, you can use a weak alkaline (alkaline pH value less than 8) cleaning agent to clean it. When you use detergent to clean, you must thoroughly clean the rattan tables and chairs to avoid chemical changes in the rattan tables and chairs under direct sunlight. Use soft brushes, rags, or vacuum cleaners as auxiliary tools to clean rattan tables and chairs. When using rattan tables and chairs, please avoid strong collisions or scratched by hard objects such as the tip of a knife. If you are exposed to strong light for a long time, it is recommended to place the rattan table and chair in a place not exposed to direct sunlight or use a furniture cover. Do not place focused materials such as glass, ceramics, shells, etc. on the surface of rattan woven tables and chairs to avoid high-temperature melting. If the frame of your rattan table and chair is aluminum alloy, you can wash it with tap water during normal maintenance and then wipe it with a dry cloth. However, if the frame is of iron structure, do not wash it directly with water. Otherwise, it will rust easily and affect its service life. In addition, when using rattan tables and chairs, pay attention to the joints of the rattan, and try not to expose the changing mouth of the rattan. Otherwise, it will be easy to lose shape.
Solid Wood Tables and Chairs Maintenance
Do not scrub the solid wood outdoor tables and chairs with hard objects or detergent to avoid damaging the waterproof layer of the surface; Regular use of wood oil to wipe the solid wood outdoor tables and chairs can make them look new.
Aluminum Alloy Tables and Chairs Maintenance
If there are stains on the surface of the aluminum alloy table and chair, please wipe them with clean water. If necessary, it can be cleaned with mild soapy water. The soapy water needs to be cleaned. Do not use heavy acid and alkaline cleaners. To avoid scratches and dents, if there are dents or scratches, please immediately use anti-rust paint. Wipe dry or air dry.
Stainless Steel Furniture Maintenance
There is a protective coating on the surface of stainless steel furniture. Please rinse with clean water instead of using detergent. Wipe dry with a dry cloth immediately after cleaning to avoid leaving marks. After it is completely dry, apply professional stainless steel cleaning oil for protection.
Log Furniture Maintenance
1. Pay attention to the display position. Outdoor logs should be avoided to be placed next to the dehumidifier and where they can be exposed to the sun.
2. Avoid liquids often staying on the surface. If the surface of the log outdoor furniture is not specially treated, the long-term water, alcohol, and other liquids will leave white marks on the furniture. Therefore, when there is liquid on the surface of the furniture, it must be wiped clean immediately and kept dry.
3. Regular cleaning and maintenance. Whether the log outdoor furniture you buy should be maintained by oiling or waxing. When purchasing furniture, you must ask the merchant clearly. If it is furniture maintained by waxing, it is best to choose a high concentration when purchasing wax. Solid wax, can fill in small defects on furniture. In addition, spray wax is also a good choice, but do not use the two together, otherwise, the surface of the furniture will be blurred and no longer shiny. For new furniture, people always have a welcoming mood. But for log outdoor furniture, more care is needed.
4. There are a few matters needing attention when using log outdoor furniture:
A. Before welcoming the log outdoor furniture home, you must clean up the home environment, especially the cleaning work before moving into the second-hand house.
B. After the new furniture is placed and positioned, wipe it with a dry or wet cloth. Since the new furniture has all the protective measures, such as painting, etc., before it leaves the factory, there is no need to oil or wax the new furniture.
C. After using for a period of time, it is recommended to do maintenance work every 2 months. Generally speaking, care products such as Pledge(a detergent from America) are a good choice for log outdoor furniture care products. The method of use is to wipe it with a dry cloth, then spray on Pledge (a detergent from America), and then wipe it with a dry cloth.
D. Pay attention to the indoor dry humidity. The surface of some wooden furniture (glossy paint, glass paint) will crack after long-term use, so the daily cleaning and maintenance work should not be too lazy.
E. If the wood drying process is not good, it will cause the furniture to be injured in the future. (For example, if the wood has too much water content and high humidity, the furniture will be more likely to be deformed in the future; if it is too dry, it is easy to crack.) Remind everyone, that the log outdoor furniture itself has an automatic humidity adjustment Function, so it is not recommended to dehumidify frequently, usually dehumidify once a month. However, if the surrounding environment is a humid area, the interval and frequency of dehumidification should be increased to prevent the furniture from becoming moldy.
