Cleaning Your Aluminum Patio Furniture

Cleaning Your Aluminum Patio Furniture is Easy!

Vista Spa Seating Pg 68 MEDOutdoor furniture is exposed to all kinds of painful stuff, like:

  • Rain
  • Sun
  • Heat
  • Cold
  • Dust
  • Animals
  • Pests
  • Kids (sometimes the most damaging of all!)

When you invest in furniture that really makes your outdoor space a livable extension of your home, it’s worth taking the time to preserve your investment.

Here is the quick and easy way to clean your patio furniture

Clean your cast aluminum patio furniture about every two weeks with a mixture of dish soap and water. The half hour it takes, on a slow day, will give your patio furniture years of extra life.

  • Spray down your patio furniture after periods of bad weather or light use to remove caked on dirt, spider webs, bird poop and so on.
  • Scuff marks can make your gorgeous new patio furniture look old. Remove scuffs with a non abrasive cleaner formulated for powder-coated products. It’s a simple application and scrub sort of situation, but take your time with it. Too much aggressive scrubbing an actually damage the finish on your furniture.
  • An easy 50/50 mix of water and vinegar will give your dirty furniture a nice shine and protect from rust buildup.
  • Never leave cleaner on your furniture to dry. Always rinse thoroughly with a garden hose and let dry. Even dish soap left on your furniture to dry can cause severe discolouration and attract debris.
  • Tremclad Clear is recommended by Cabana Coast to protect your outdoor aluminum furniture and maintain a shiny appearance. It’s much more effective than water and vinegar (although, as stated above, water and vinegar are a workable substitute in a pinch).
  • If you choose your own cleaning product, just make sure to avoid all alkaline cleaning products. They will cause almost immediate discolouration, and not in a charming way.

Preventative maintenance is the best maintenance

Preventative maintenance is best for your body; for your car; for just about everything, including patio furniture.

We recommend picking up a nice set of patio furniture covers. The designs can actually be quite stylish, so you aren’t looking at dull, grey, plastic furniture covers outside your patio door.

There’s no better way to protect your fabric from sun damage (patchiness and fading) than with some nice covers.
