Garden Furniture Care Guide:

Care guide for wooden furniture: It should be cleaned once a year with one tablespoon of bleach, five tablespoons of a gentle dishwashing liquid, and water. Gently scrub it with a soft bristle brush and then let it dry. After it dries up completely, coat it with protective oil. To save your wooden furniture from rotting also shield it with waterproof coating.

Care guide for furnishings: Brush the fabric of the cushions to remove any loose dirt. Spot clean any stains and use lemon juice to banish them easily. Make a concoction of warm water with borax powder and mild liquid soap. Dip a sponge in this mixture and scrub gently. Rinse with water and let it dry. If you have to dry your hammocks always remember to stretch them over the frame to avoid shrinkage.Garden furniture

How to buy Garden Furniture?

  • If you’re opting for wicker furniture always check the reeds for any tears or breaks. Also ensure that the reeds are flexible and not dried out.
  • Find out your need. Whether you need it for dining, lounging, or for poolside. Keep your preferences in mind and buy accordingly.
  • Consider the room plan and size before buying. Too many pieces can look tacky and overcrowded.
  • Always have a color scheme in mind. If you’re a little dubious, take a cue from the color wheel.
  • Keep in mind of the weather conditions. A wooden piece in an area with heavy rainfall will be unsuitable and useless.
  • Pay attention to comfort and durability. Nobody would want to sit on a chair that is uncomfortable or that is not sturdy.

There are a lot of varieties and multitudinous options present in the market. Have a set agenda in your mind about your choices. Don’t buy a hammock just because it was your dream to have one. Go for it only if you have a suitable location. Go and buy wonderful furniture with the right FABRIC! (remember marine-grade) and share your experiences with us!
