What Is The Easiest Patio Furniture To Keep Clean?

Published by

Many customers who visit our showroom often ask, what is the easiest patio furniture to keep clean?

Due to their longevity and simplicity of maintenance, wrought iron and stainless steel are popular materials for outdoor furniture. These materials are frequently coated with additional waterproof finishes that add to their durability.

Most of the time, if your metal patio furniture does experience some corrosion, you can easily restore it by soaking the affected area in vinegar and then using a steel sponge or brush to scrub the surfaces clean.

So we know that metal is both popular and easy to maintain. But what other outdoor furniture materials are both fancy and fuss-free? Let’s take a look.

Wooden patio furniture

Wooden patio furniture is durable and long-lasting. Choosing hardwoods like teak and cedar is best, as they are naturally water-resistant and resistant to the fungi that can set into some woods in damp conditions.

Hardwood outdoor furniture is the key to creating stunning spaces with minimal fuss. If you’re looking for genuinely stylish furniture that is the first choice among interior designers worldwide, this is the space you want to play in.

The best way to keep wooden patio furniture looking beautiful is by using a soft cloth or sponge when cleaning off dust or dirt. No high-pressure hoses or harsh chemicals are necessary.

Wicker patio furniture

Wicker furniture is a weave style and is made from rattan or woven cane. The natural look of wicker furniture makes it an ideal choice to add a touch of class and elegance to your garden, as seen on the dynasty Outdoor Footstool by Skyline Design.

Here are some tips for keeping your wicker furniture looking its best.

1. Wipe down the furniture with a damp cloth or sponge to remove dirt and dust.

2. Use warm water and mild dishwashing liquid to wash the furniture with a sponge or soft brush. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on wicker as they can damage the fibres and leave an unattractive white residue behind.

3. Dry the furniture in the sun until it’s completely dry before storing it away or using it again.

Metal patio furniture

The easiest outdoor furniture to keep clean is metal. Metal patio furniture is durable, so it’s great for the outdoors. It will last for years and years of use, but it also has a smooth surface that won’t get dirty easily. If it does pick up a bit of grime, you can clean it with just water and soap.

Use a damp cloth or sponge with a mild soap and water solution for regular cleaning. Don’t use any chemicals or acidic substances on your metal patio furniture as they can cause damage over time.

Synthetic fibres patio furniture

The biggest benefit of synthetic fibres is that they don’t absorb water. They are specially made to be extremely durable, making them one of the safest choices for outdoor furniture. If you plan on spending your summers outside, a set made from synthetic rope, rattan or cane will stand you in great stead.

Garden furniture made from synthetic fibres is UV-resistant, so it won’t fade or crack if you leave it out in the sun for long periods of time. It’s also lightweight and easy to move around, so when it’s time to clean it, all you have to do is wipe down the surface with a damp cloth.

Glass patio tables

Glass patio tables are popular because they are beautiful, easy to clean and durable.

There are many benefits of glass patio tables. They have a sleek and elegant look that makes them the perfect centrepiece for any outdoor space. The glass for tabletops comes in a variety of colours and finishes including smoke and clear.

Glass patio tables are durable enough to withstand outdoor elements such as rain, wind, snow and sun without being damaged or discoloured by them. They are also effortless to clean, requiring a simple wipe with a damp cloth and perhaps the occasional once-over with glass cleaner to remove streaks.
