Maintaining Commercial Furniture

As we transition through the seasons, ensuring your patio furniture remains in top condition is key to its longevity and appearance. With a bit of care and attention, you can keep your outdoor furnishings looking great year-round. Here are three essential tips to help you preserve your patio furniture through every season:

1. Clean Regularly and Properly

Keeping your patio furniture clean is crucial in preventing the buildup of dirt, grime, and mildew. Regular cleaning helps maintain the appearance and integrity of the materials. Here’s how to do it right:

• For Fabric Cushions: Use a mild soap and water solution to gently scrub the cushions. Make sure to rinse thoroughly and allow them to dry completely before using or storing them.
• For Metal Frames: Wipe down with a damp cloth and a mild cleaner. A commercial grade cleaner that is best to do the trick is linked HERE. Always dry the frames to prevent rust and corrosion.

2. Protect from the Elements

Exposure to harsh weather conditions can significantly impact the lifespan of your patio furniture. Here’s how to shield your pieces:

• Use Covers: Invest in high-quality, weather-resistant covers for your furniture when not in use. These protect against rain, snow, and UV damage.
• Store Seasonally: During extreme weather conditions or off-season months, consider storing your furniture in a garage or shed. If space is limited, stack and cover items to minimize exposure.

3. Perform Routine Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential to keeping your patio furniture in great shape:

• Check for Damage: Regularly inspect your furniture for any signs of wear or damage, such as loose screws, rust, or splinters. Address these issues promptly to prevent further damage.
• Repaint or Refinish: The good news is most damage to your furniture is cosmetic. You can still preserve your patio furniture by giving it a facelift. Email commercial@patioguys.com with next steps to do this.
