1. CLEANING – A little soap, water, and a soft-bristle brush will do wonders in making your patio furniture look clean and vibrant again.
2. CHECK FOR ANY RUST – Most aluminum furniture is rust-resistant, but an inspection may locate a small spot or two. Use a rust cleaner and then lightly sand away any remaining stubborn corrosion. Apply an appliance type touch-up paint and allow it to dry.
3. STORING YOUR FURNITURE – Store your patio furniture in a dry location during the offseason. If you don’t have room to store the furniture as a whole, store the cushions in a plastic bag after ensuring that the cushions are dry. If possible, store the remaining furniture frames under an awning or deck and cover them with mildew and stain-resistant covers with sewn edges for increased durability and longevity.
4. PREVENTING WIND DAMAGE – To prevent the wind from blowing furniture stored under an awning or deck, use rope to secure it in place.
