The Top Tips for Cleaning Your Patio Furniture
Summary: Don’t trust just anyone when it comes to cleaning your furniture. Take advice from the experts.
Realistically speaking, you wouldn’t want a group of your close friends and family to go out to your porch for a barbeque to find a combination of mold, mildew, bugs, and cobwebs on all your furniture pieces would you?
Obviously not.
If you want to ensure that all your furniture, including those gorgeous indoor wicker furniture pieces that you have stored away for special use, to be clean and tidy, you’ll want to ensure that you take the appropriate steps to keep them clean.
Purchase Premium Cleaning Supplies
No, this isn’t a reference to your standard proclaimed “best cleaner in the world” supplies, but products that are designed to treat wood and other materials in a way that’s both effective and respectable.
Before you go out and find the most popular brand to clean those replacement patio cushions that are now soaked in wine and food stains, you’ll want to do some research beforehand. Check the reviews and even see if your friends or family members have some products that they can vouch for.
Be Aware of the Type of Materials
Certain materials don’t work well with certain cleaning supplies. For instance, let’s say you have a high quality wicker sofa and you want to do a full clean with a spray you found at your local hardware store. Sure, it claims to work well with wood and all furniture pieces, but does it effectively clean wicker pieces? You’ll likely find out when you either see a gorgeous finish or a discolored mess that’s nothing more than trash. Be sure you read the labels and ensure that you’re purchasing something that’s meant for the type of furniture that you’re cleaning.
You can also ask the experts to see what they use. For example, if you have wicker furniture, why not see if the folks over at Wicker Paradise have anything that they recommend you use. And, since they’re specialists with wicker pieces, it’s likely that you’ll be in good hands.
