Are you ready for Spring to spring? For the days to start stretching out? For the smell of the grill to drift through the air as fireflies fill the night.
Yeah, that same patio furniture that is currently sitting under 6 inches of snow all forlorn on the back deck that doesn’t even cross our minds from November to March.We really want to use in a few months as the days get warmer
So,we need a plan. One that will help us achieve our goal of outdoor summer fun.Also, ensuring our outdoor furniture is ready for everything.
Are you ready to see what we came up with? There are some tips for preparing your outdoor furniture for the new season:
Clean your existing furniture If your furniture is in storage, take a good look at it before you bring it out once again.
-Grab a moist towel and clean the surface and legs of your table and chairs.
You should treat wooden or iron patio furniture and outdoor upholstery for any damage or dirt spots.In case, you are living in a warm climate.
-Take your time when you are cleaning each piece as to not damage the furniture. Use a laundry soap for large problem areas.
Rearrange your layout For the new season, don’t lay out your outdoor furniture in the same formation.
-Switch things up so you’ll have a fun and exciting space. For example, if your furniture placement was against a wall on your porch, slide everything to the center. Or you can install a built-in outdoor fireplace and place your furniture around this new focal point.
Protecting Your Furniture The last thing you want to do is have to start over from scratch next year. So, be proactive! Don’t wait until March to even remember you have patio furniture.
First, if you can’t store your furniture out of the elements, then invest in furniture covers. This will protect your patio furniture from the worst of the elements while also helping to keep it dry.
Next, bring any outdoor cushions inside for the winter. Again, this is a simple step that anyone can do to extend the life of their furniture.
