Clean garden furniture and maintain its shine

Why should you clean your garden furniture regularly? Quite simply it is left outside and exposed to the elements for several months a year, which will inevitably leave a mark. Of course, factors such as the quality, structure and material of your garden furniture will play an important role in how weathered it becomes, but regular cleaning and care is always essential. After all, regularly maintaining garden furniture is the only way to extend the lifespan and functionality – and to ensure you can start the gardening season in style.

For simple, frequent care, we recommend wiping the furniture down with a soft cloth from time to time. This will remove dust and other impurities that can damage the furniture surface if they remain on it for too long. However, a thorough annual cleaning of your garden furniture should be a firm part of your garden calendar. We will show you the differences to bear in mind when it comes to cleaning garden furniture made of wood, metal and rattan.
