What are the maintenance methods for outdoor furniture, especially for furniture made of different materials such as wood, metal, and plastic?

The maintenance methods for outdoor furniture vary depending on the material, mainly including three materials: wood, metal, and plastic. The following are specific maintenance methods for these three materials:

Wooden furniture:

Regularly wiping off dust, debris, and excess watermarks on wooden furniture is an effective way to protect it. In addition, prolonged exposure to humid environments should be avoided to prevent wood from expanding or deforming.

Metal furniture:

It should be cleaned regularly by gently wiping the metal surface with a soft cloth and warm water. Avoid using overly damp or rough fabrics to prevent scratching and damaging the metal surface. For outdoor metal furniture, it is recommended to apply anti rust primer and then apply anti rust paint on the surface to prevent rust and corrosion. Using specialized rust inhibitors to apply to metal surfaces is also a good method. When cleaning, a soft cloth or sponge and mild soapy water should be used for wiping, and rough materials should not be used for wiping.

Plastic furniture:

can be washed with regular detergent, be careful not to touch hard objects, and do not use metal brushes for washing. Frequent washing and sun protection can keep plastic furniture fresh and long-lasting. PVC furniture is prone to aging and cracking, and can only be used indoors. It is not suitable for outdoor use. Avoid direct sunlight and be close to stoves and radiators. If there is any rupture, it can be softened with an electric soldering iron and then bonded together. Plastic furniture maintenance is not laborious, just wipe it with a damp cloth or cleaning agent, and then wipe it with a dry cloth. Try to avoid direct sunlight and violent collisions as much as possible.

The maintenance of outdoor furniture requires corresponding measures based on its material, such as regular cleaning, avoiding direct sunlight exposure, using appropriate protective measures, etc., to extend the service life of furniture and maintain its beauty.
