Scratches and Chips 

If your fabric outdoor furniture suffers from scratches and chips, then one of the main reasons that you can use is to clean it with nail varnish. Or, alternatively, cover up the coating with a touch of paint that reflects the colour. Repeat the process another 2-3 times and it will look as good as new.

 

Another method of restoring your outdoor fabric furniture is to sand it down with sandpaper. This will make the aluminium smoother, resulting in a pristine look. 

 

Wipe it With A Cloth 

Your fabric outdoor furniture is remarkably low maintenance, which means that the only thing you need to do is wipe it down with a cloth and soapy water to keep it looking immaculate for the long term.

 

Fabric outdoor furniture is easy to look after, it only needs to be wiped down twice a year. A soft detergent such as washing up liquid will ensure no damage is caused. What’s more, use baby oil to moisturise the aluminium as well, but it is essential not to use any abrasive cleaners or bleach because this could cause damage to the furniture.

 

Storing the Furniture Away

Fabric outdoor furniture is ideal because it is easy to transport and move around. When the furniture gets moved into a storage space, it can stay dry for longer. And, investing in a fabric cover will ensure the furniture will be useable in the future.

 

Choosing the correct furniture cover is another important decision to make. Go for one that doesn’t flap in the wind so it doesn’t blow off. This is vital in the cold winter months. 

How to Clean Mould and Mildew

You might think that mildew and mould stains are hard to clean. However, they are easier than you think. Use a combination of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle and spray on any mould spots. After it soaks in, wipe it down with a damp cloth or soapy water and it will look immaculate.

 

It is essential to deal with any marks straight away. If they are left on for a long time, they become harder to clean. 

 

Use White Vinegar 

Clean your outdoor fabric furniture with a mixture of white vinegar and water. Wipe it down with a damp cloth and it looks immaculate. This is an abrasive clean against any hardened stains such as bird droppings. Gently scrub it as if you wipe it too hard, this damages the material. 

Use A Garden Hose 

An easy method is to use a garden hose to wipe the garden furniture down. Use car wax or baby oil on the stain, hose it down gently. The water should be enough to get rid of any dirt. This will make sure it looks as good as new.
