Outdoor living is one of the great pleasures of the warmer months but keeping your furniture looking its best can be a challenge. Weather, dust, pollen and daily use all take their toll, especially on high-quality materials. The good news is that maintaining your outdoor pieces is simpler than you might think. With the right approach, you can preserve both the beauty and longevity of your furniture without expensive upkeep.
Below is a guide to caring for different outdoor materials, along with practical tips to help you maintain your setting year-round.
Every material requires its own care routine. Here’s how to clean the most common outdoor furniture finishes.
Use a mild solution of water and dishwashing soap. Apply with a soft-bristled brush, avoiding areas with cracks or compromised coatings. Allow the mixture to sit briefly before rinsing thoroughly with clean water. Let the furniture dry completely in a shaded, ventilated area.
Clean with mild soapy water and a soft brush. Synthetic fibres are highly durable but can be damaged by harsh chemicals, so avoid bleach or abrasive cleaners.
Mix one part vinegar with two parts water and lightly spray the surface. Gently scrub, rinse well and dry thoroughly to prevent water spots. Aluminium and stainless steel respond well to gentle cleaning and should never be left wet for extended periods.
Wipe down using a soft cloth and a mild multi-purpose cleaner.
Frequent cleaning prevents dirt, pollen and grime from building up on surfaces, all of which can accelerate wear over time. Debris trapped in small crevices can cause abrasion, while damp organic matter can lead to mould growth. A simple, consistent cleaning routine protects both the appearance and structural integrity of your furniture.

Aim to clean your furniture once a month, adjusting frequency depending on your environment. Homes exposed to high dust levels, coastal salt, heavy pollen or pets may require more regular upkeep. Quick, routine cleaning helps prevent long-term damage and keeps your outdoor area ready for daily use.
