Who can deny that it can be fun to be outdoors on the back patio with family and friends? Whether it involves having a party, enjoying a meal, or celebrating someone’s job promotion, there are lots of ways that a patio deck can serve as the ideal meeting place for you, your loved ones, and guests. But you can be sure that your patio furniture will need to be cleaned occasionally. A Sacramento, CA patio cover is your best protection from the elements, dirt, and grime. But you will still want to consider the other tips for maintaining your patio furniture.
Bleach
Of course, you won't want to use bleach on everything, but it does have its practical uses. Do you have patio furniture featuring plastic mesh? Does the furniture look like they’ve seen better days? You can wash them using a combination of water, bleach, and mild detergent. Dip a rag or sponge into the solution, scrub away at the furniture, rinse them off completely, and then let them dry out in the open air. You will breathe new life into patio furniture.
Baking Soda
Want a natural cleaning solution that won't require you to use gloves? Try washing your resin patio furniture with a sponge dipped in water with some baking soda sprinkled onto it. You'll be able to scrub away at the furniture without having to be mindful of scratching anything. Rinse everything off when done and allow it to dry.
WD-40
Yes, WD-40. It’s not just for squeaky hinges as there are websites out there dedicated to showing novel uses for this versatile product. Do you have patio furniture that is badly faded? Not to worry. Apply some WD-40 to the faded surface and use a dry cloth to wipe it clean. It may be just the thing you need to restore the lost luster of your patio furniture.
Vinegar
Vinegar is great for attacking any mildew formation on your patio furniture. You can put some white vinegar into a spray bottle and then use it to spray on any patio furniture surface that has mildew. Wipe away the vinegar after your spray it.
Patio Cover
While a patio cover won’t eliminate the need for cleaning patio furniture from time to time, it will certainly reduce the frequency and the intensity. A patio cover will, as the name suggests, provide a protective covering over your patio deck. So anything on the deck will be protected. It’s definitely a worthwhile investment if you want to lengthen the life of your patio deck furniture.
