Does your patio denote a boring environment in your house? Patio furniture must be lacking in your veranda. You need to add outdoor furniture to bring an additional body in your patio. Having a large veranda is always good, but it can look boring and lifeless without anything on it. Outdoor furniture that can be added in your patio is picnicking tables, dining tables, coffee tables, outdoor rocking chair, garden, arbors, patio heaters, patio furniture covers, lounge chairs and a lot more.
When choosing your own outdoor furniture, you must consider few things before buying the material. First, you have to assess your patio. How spacious it is to occupy patio furniture. Space availability should come first in your list. Second, you need to decide what type of outdoor furniture you need to add in your veranda. Third, if you choose to get an outdoor lounge chair, you have to make sure that this furniture fits the theme of your house. Do not get nature inspired patio furniture if your house is contemporary and most of your furniture is made of glass. Lastly, get the perfect wicker patio furniture that fits your budget. Practicality should always be considered especially these days where the economy of the country is uncertain.

In this article I will show you how to take care of and clean an array of patio furniture, whether it be resin, natural wood or iron. The first step is to find cleaning solutions that aren’t too strong to either rust, peel or scratch your furniture. Usually the most difficult to clean is iron followed by wood then resin. Iron because it rusts in the weather and if not cleaned immediately can destroy it. Wood Furniture peels in the hot sun and can be scratched and weathered down. Resin is the most easiest piece of furniture to clean because it doesn’t generally decrease in appearance because of weather and can withstand most things. To clean the resin, you will most likely need only some warm water, a sponge and some baking soda.
First you fill a bucket or large bowl with warm water and put the sponge in so it can soak up a bit of water. Have the baking soda in a smaller bowl nearby and squeeze some water out of the sponge before dipping it into the baking soda. Rub the mixture on the affected areas until any blemishes have been relinquished then rinse and repeat to clean the rest of the piece. First of to clean the wood you will need rubber gloves because you will be handling chemicals. The next items you will need are a small soft bristled brush, some water and a wood cleaner or wood wash. When working with wood cleaning chemicals(or any) remember to follow the manufacturer’s directions for the safest conditions possible. Apply how much cleaner it says on the bottle then scrub the wood with the brush. Rinse off the cleaner with water then allow it to air dry.
Finally to clean your iron pieces of furniture make sure you are in a ventilated area or outside. You will need(if rusted) sandpaper, spray paint, primer, a rag and some protective eye wear. First, get yourself a clean spot to start sanding the rusted parts until they’re gone then wipe flecks off with the rag. Apply the primer to the area you just sanded then allow to dry completely. After that spray on the paint then allow to dry as long as the time states on the can. If your metal piece is not rusted just rub lightly with a damp cloth so as not to smudge or scratch it.

Staining and refinishing wood patio furniture can be a big project. First and foremost, you will want to make sure that you have taken the proper precautions by having gloves, a face mask, and goggles on while working. Wood stains and sealers cannot only damage your eyes with direct contact, but the fumes can be very strong as well.
You will need to start by stripping the furniture of any past sealer that was used. This can be a very annoying process, but you want to get down to the natural wood for best results. You will need to get mineral spirits and a good rag or two. This will be the most time consuming and most important part of your project. If you skip this step, the new stain won’t sink in and it will look sloppy and probably worse than how it started.
After you remove the sealer, you will want to completely sand down the furniture, trying to get healthy wood exposed, have everything be even, and to try and even out the color. You can either use an electric sander, or just go at it the old fashioned way by hand. Once you have finished sanding (and blowing away as much dust as you can) you can now begin to stain your furniture.
You might want to take a small piece of the same type of wood and try a few different stains to see which color you like best. It is also very important that you stain the wood before you put the new seal on. If you seal off the wood first, the stain won’t sink in, and it looks like a bad paint job. You want to use even strokes in the same direction, and make sure that you are applying the stain as evenly as possible.
There will be some differences, and the wood throughout the furniture will probably have different initial colors and absorption levels, but that is the beauty of the wood. Don’t try and fix what is natural. After the stain has set, you can then choose the appropriate wood sealer to use on the furniture (there are many that specify “outdoor wood furniture”). Continue to use even strokes, and make sure that you are getting into every corner so you don’t end up with an unprotected part of your furniture.
This stuff smells terrible, fair warning. You will want to complete this project outside, because the smell will reside indoors for a while. Good luck!
