Take good care of your garden furniture. It might seem like an unnecessary hassle, but this will help ensure that your garden set stays in good shape for years to come. After all, nobody wants to buy a new one every few years - especially if they have paid a lot for their current set! To keep you on track with the task at hand, here are some helpful tips just for you.

First things first, try not to leave your outside furniture soaking in the rain overnight. If you need to store it away during bad weather, cover it up well and let it dry off before taking it back out into the open air again At worst though, heavy duty covers should be used to try and protect your outdoor furniture from any hazardous weather.

When it comes to cleaning, take a look at the condition of your chairs and sofas. If they are looking a bit dirty, need re-upholstering or even repairing in places, you should consider hiring a professional for this job – unless you think you can do it yourself. Professionals have the experience needed to refinish paintwork and clean garden furniture properly – which means that they will restore its former looks without causing any damage. Chances are good that if you only hire professionals every now and then, your outside furniture won't last as long as it could.

Plus if salt from ice has been allowed to sit on the outside furniture it can eat away at its structure. Keep this from happening by moving your furniture to a safe place as soon as the first sign of winter comes around. Also try and avoid leaving heavy objects on top of your garden set or letting plants grow up against its legs, as both these things could cause damage over time too.

When you do move your seats and sofas inside for the winter, put newspaper down underneath them to protect your floors from dirt and dust that may have gathered on their surface. You should also give all surfaces a good wipe-down before putting your outdoor furniture back outside again – just to be sure!

Finally remember that caring for outdoor furniture doesn't need to be difficult - or even time consuming. Keep in mind the points mentioned here and you won't go wrong...
