In order to keep outdoor patio furniture in the best condition for a long time, understanding the maintenance methods of outdoor furniture will help extend its service life.

1. Materials and maintenance points of each component

Cold-rolled steel frame (main structure)

Rust prevention:

Regularly check whether the steel frame has rust. Minor rust can be polished with fine sandpaper and then repainted (it is recommended to use outdoor metal special paint).

Avoid long-term contact with rain. It is recommended to use a waterproof cover or move to a shaded place during the rainy season.

Cleaning method:

Wipe with a soft cloth dipped in neutral detergent to avoid acidic or alkaline detergents corroding the surface.

Stubborn stains can be gently wiped with baking soda + water, and then wiped dry with a dry cloth.

Storage suggestions:

When not in use for a long time in winter, it is recommended to store in a dry and ventilated place, or spray rust inhibitor for protection.

Bamboo structure (handrail/frame)

Moisture-proof and crack-proof:

Avoid long-term exposure to the sun or rain, otherwise it may cause the bamboo to crack or mold.

In the rainy season, you can apply wood wax oil or special bamboo maintenance oil to enhance waterproofness.

Cleaning method:

Wipe with a slightly damp soft cloth, avoid soaking or high-pressure water gun washing.

Stubborn stains can be cleaned with mild soapy water and wiped dry immediately afterwards.

Insect and mildew-proof:

Check regularly for insect bites or mildew spots, and treat with alcohol or special mildew inhibitors in time after discovery.

Blue fabric cushions

Daily cleaning:

Reguarate with a vacuum cleaner or soft brush to prevent dust accumulation.

Minor stains can be gently wiped with a damp cloth + neutral detergent, and avoid rubbing vigorously.

Waterproof and stain-proof:

Spray fabric waterproofing agent (such as Scotchgard) to reduce rain and stain penetration.

It is recommended to put away the cushions or use a waterproof storage box for storage on rainy days.

Deep cleaning:

It is recommended to wash the removable cushion cover by hand (cold water + mild detergent), dry it naturally, and avoid fading in the sun.

Matching coffee table (cold-rolled plate + glass/wood tabletop)

Metal part: Same maintenance method as cold-rolled steel frame.

Glass tabletop: Wipe with glass cleaner or white vinegar + water to avoid scratches from hard objects.

Wooden tabletop:

Apply wood wax oil regularly to prevent cracking and fading.

2. Seasonal maintenance suggestions

Spring and summer: Pay attention to sun protection and rain protection, and regularly check whether metal parts are rusted.

Autumn and winter: Dry thoroughly after cleaning, it is recommended to store or use a thickened dust cover for protection.

3. Tips to extend the service life

Avoid scratches from sharp objects: Handle with care when moving to prevent damage to the bamboo or metal surface.

Tighten screws regularly: Check whether the connectors are loose and reinforce them in time.

Pair with a parasol: reduce direct sunlight and delay material aging.
