Take advantage of the moderate fall temperatures to enjoy more time outside. While you’re out there, check on the status of your patio table and chairs. Consider sprucing them up before you store them for the season. Here are some of the benefits to cleaning outdoor furniture and why now’s the time to get started.

Benefits of Cleaning Outdoor Furniture

There’s nothing like creating an outdoor oasis to extend your living space and appreciate the many wonders of nature. But do you ever wonder how to keep your outdoor furniture clean? While these tables and chairs are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, they still benefit from regular maintenance. Here’s why.

1. Extend lifespan. While your indoor furniture experiences wear and tear from regular use, your outdoor furniture is also exposed to extreme heat, pelting rain, blustering wind, and passing wildlife. Dirt, grime, and moisture builds up naturally. Regular maintenance helps prevent rust, mildew, and other damage to the wood, metal, and plastic components that contribute to deterioration over time.
2. Prevents stains. Cleaning helps prevent mold and mildew from causing health hazards, odors, and permanent stains.
3. Reduce allergens. Outdoor furniture is more susceptible to collecting pollen, dust, and mold.
4. Enhance comfort. Keep your furniture and outdoor upholstery looking fresh and inviting. No one wants to sit on something covered in dirt and wildlife debris.
5. Prepare for storage. Help extend the life of your furniture even more by covering it or storing it indoors over the winter, especially if you won’t be using it. But clean and dry it first. You don’t want to trap dirt and moisture that could lead to further damage in the off-season.

You’ve spent your hard-earned time and money investing in outdoor furniture to enhance your living space. All it takes is a little time and cleaning supplies to protect your investment, improve its appearance, and prepare it for safe storage or future use.
