With the arrival of spring and summer, balconies, terraces and gardens become true wellness spots. I outdoor furniture return protagonists: chairs, tables, benches and loungers accompany us in moments of relaxation and conviviality.

To maintain them beautiful, clean and safe over time It just takes some small care. Let's find out together what to do (and what to avoid) to take care of them in the right way, gently and effectively.

The mistakes to avoid

Not all products and tools are suitable for outdoor surfaces. Here's what's best to avoid:

• Hard brushes or metal straws, which can scratch and dull.
• Aggressive or abrasive cleaners, too strong for delicate materials.
• High-pressure jets, which can seep into joints or ruin paints.
• Cushions or padding left in the sun or rain, prone to mold, halos and discoloration.

Finally, don't neglect regular cleaning: accumulated dirt is much harder to get rid of, and over time it can permanently damage your furniture.

How to clean metal furniture

If you have metal furniture (painted or treated), here is the ideal routine:

1. Remove dust and sand With a dry cloth or soft-bristled brush.
2. Prepare a mixture with lukewarm water and neutral detergent.
3. Wipe the surfaces with a soft cloth or a non-abrasive sponge.
4. In case of light rust stains, you can act with fine sandpaper on the affected area.
5. Dries well and, if you want, apply a protective wax To increase weathering resistance.

The extra advice? Cover your furniture in the winter months Or when you know you won't be using them for a while. That way they will be protected from rain, cold, and dirt.

5 simple gestures for like-new furniture

✔️ Get organized before you start: water, mild soap, microfiber and some dedicated time.
✔️ Rinse before cleaning, to remove dust and avoid scratches.
✔️ Rub gently And evenly. Consistency rewards more than strength.
✔️ Check the manufacturer's instructions: Each material has its own requirements.
