How to Store Patio Furniture Properly
Winter’s coming. That means colder temperatures, longer days and putting your patio furniture away for the season. If you want to make certain your chairs and tables stay clean and beautiful all winter long, follow the tips below:
Step 1: Give it a Quick Clean
Before storing your patio furniture, give it a quick wipe-down with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may have accumulated during the season.
Step 2: Remove Cushions and Pillows
If your patio furniture has cushions or pillows, remove them and store them indoors. Synthetic wicker furniture can stay outside, but fabric cushions and pillows should be kept dry to avoid mould and mildew.
Step 3: Vacuum Fabrics
Before storing your cushions and pillows, give them a quick vacuum to remove any debris.
Step 4: Store Fabrics in Low Moisture Areas
Store your cushions and pillows in a cool, dry area with low moisture levels. A basement or closet is ideal.
Step 5: Store Furniture in Garage, Shed or Under Tarp
Store your patio furniture in a garage, shed, or outside under a tarp to protect it from the elements. This will help prevent rust, fading, and other damage.
