URBAN OUTDOOR FURNITURE

To protect your wood urban outdoor furniture from water stains and mildew, start by choosing the right type of wood, such as teak or cedar, which are naturally resistant to moisture and decay. Apply a high-quality sealant or wood preservative regularly, following the manufacturer's instructions, to create a protective barrier against water. Clean the furniture frequently with a mild soap and water solution to remove dirt and prevent mildew growth. Avoid leaving the furniture exposed to heavy rain by using waterproof covers or storing it indoors during wet seasons. For existing mildew, scrub the affected areas with a mixture of vinegar and water, then rinse thoroughly. Additionally, ensure proper air circulation around the furniture by spacing items apart and avoiding damp locations. Regular maintenance, including sanding and reapplying sealant as needed, will help extend the life and appearance of your wood furniture in urban outdoor settings.
