Garden Furniture Care

Executive Summary about Garden Furniture Care by Matt J Edward

Garden furniture can be made from a number fo different materials including wood, metal, natural stone, glass, rattan and wicker.

General Advice. If possible, store the furniture indoors during the winter. If this is not possible, make sure it is covered (garden furniture covers are generally available in garden centres, retail outlets etc.). Remove furniture from standing water and avoid direct contact with damp soil for long periods of time.

Teak and Eucalyptus Garden Furniture. Teak and eucalyptus are extremely dense, course grained hardwoods used for centuries in furniture making. However the application of Teak Oil or Tung Oil will deepen the colour a little and will prevent stains from seeping into the timber grain. Teak and eucalyptus can be effectively cleaned using a typical kitchen cleaning sponge and soapy water (nothing astringent) and then wiped over with teak oil.

Hardwood Garden Furniture. Hardwood furniture is very easy to maintain and should be wiped down as often as possible with a damp cloth dipped in water or dipped in a safe cleaner. There are a number of care products on the market that will improve the look of the furniture including our own Maintenance Kit for Hardwood Garden Furniture.

Natural Stone Garden Furniture. Using Lithofin impregnators (sealers) and cleaners will maintain the look of the furniture and avoid common nasty spillages such as red wine and fruit juice from spoiling the appearance of these beautiful tables.

Wicker, Rattan and Textilene Garden Furniture. Modern garden furniture made with or incorporating these materials is tough, resin-based and weather resistant.

Aluminium and Wrought Iron Garden Furniture. A liquid wax polish can be applied to prevent rusting.
