Best Patio Furniture Choices

Caring for aluminum patio furniture involves very little special attention on your part. In fact, compared with the care involved with wicker or teak furniture, you will find aluminum patio furniture much more user-friendly. This is true even if you leave your chairs and tables exposed to the sun, or susceptible to residue from suntan lotions or tree pollens.

However, it is wise on your part to periodically clean your aluminum patio furniture so that it will constantly maintain an attractive appearance. Also, if you keep the furniture clean, more people will be likely to actually use it!

The easiest way to clean any dirt and grime from your aluminum patio furniture is to regularly wash the pieces with a mixture of soap and water, applied with a soft brush or sponge.

This periodic cleaning should get rid of any human perspiration, pool chemicals like chlorine, drops of suntan lotion, or pollen from flowers or trees. Be sure to wash down both the aluminum and any fabric on the chairs.

As an added precaution and sealing agent, we suggest wiping down the exposed aluminum with a naval jelly or a paste wax such as Turtle Wax. This will help to prevent rust from forming on the surface of the metal. As with wrought iron patio furniture, rust will form quickly on aluminum if it becomes scratched or nicked.

In summary, caring for aluminum patio furniture is significantly easier than caring for most other types of outdoor chairs and tables. A simple bath of soap and water once or twice a season will keep your furniture in great shape!
