Metal is a popular material for garden furniture, because it looks good and is also durable.
The Lifestyle garden furniture range is just one of many that are mostly made from metal. Despite its hard-wearing qualities though, you will still need to carry out basic maintenance. This blog offers a guide to just that.
How to clean
The process of cleaning most kinds of metal garden furniture is simple and easy. The only equipment you will need is a soft sponge or cloth, mild soap that does not contain detergent and a bowl or bucket of warm water.
Wash the furniture gently using circular motions – never scrub it harshly. This can lead to scratches and other damage to the finish. Take enough time to ensure the furniture is free of dirt and grime and then dry softly.
When to clean
It will not be necessary to clean your metal garden furniture every week, but you should do it fairly regularly. The minimum recommended number of times per year is four – once during each of the seasons. You should be able to see for yourself when washing is needed though, as you want it to look its best.
Other maintenance tips
If you buy furniture made from a metal like aluminium, it will not be at risk of rusting. Using Garland garden furniture covers and similar items will help to shield it from UV rays during the summer.
As you can see, looking after metal garden furniture is a simple task – which is why so many choose it.
