Maintenance tips of patio teak furniture
Maintaining outdoor patio furniture is more
complicated than that of indoor furniture. As the outdoor furniture gets more
exposure, these need to be dealt with special care and attention always. For
different materials of outdoor furniture, different types of cleaning should be
done. In this article, we will discuss how to maintain the teak patio
furniture Houston.
It is better to clean teak garden furniture
with funds based on natural raw materials. It is sufficient to scrub vigorously
with a special care sponge or with a root brush and an environmentally friendly
soapy water and clarify with water. It is essential that the wood then dries
well. If you like, you can then smooth the surface with a nonwoven. What
follows is the care of the teak with special teak oil or with another oil.
If the teak furniture is very grey, it
makes sense to sand it down after careful cleaning. Paper with a grain size of
100 to 120 is used. Grinding is done without printing. The abraded particles
are then carefully sucked off. This is followed by treatment with nourishing
oil.
Treat teak garden furniture with nourishing
oils. Care oil makes the wood supple and protects the surface from
environmental influences, and also from the formation of a patina. After the
wood furniture has appropriately dried, oil is applied. This is best done with
a brush, a pad, or a cotton cloth, with the oil after application for a few
hours in the shade should act.
In order to intensify the impregnating
effect, it is then polished out, so that a slight luster is created. The oil
treatment is always carried out after cleaning the furniture. Ideally, this
care is done 2 - 3 times a year.
More protection is required for garden
furniture in winter quarters. Even though teak garden furniture and other
wooden furniture are winter-proof, they remain attractive for more extended
periods during storage in the interior or sheltered areas during the winter
months. In winter quarters, they are not only protected against intense
temperature fluctuations and weather conditions but also dirt and dust.
It's a nice feeling to pick up the
furniture for the terrace, the balcony or the garden next spring from the
garage, the cellar or another place and set them up immediately, without having
to clean and maintain them in advance.
It is vital for storage in a sheltered
location that the furniture is stored dry and frost-free in a room that has
slightly cooler temperatures. Garden furniture is also useful if there is good
air circulation in the winter quarters and they are well ventilated.
