Garden furniture maintenance and protection products

Regular care extends the life of outdoor furniture. Choose protection and maintenance products suited to the material you own to prevent weather damage, staining and premature wear.

Essential maintenance tasks

Cleaning, treating and protecting surfaces keeps furniture looking and performing well. Simple seasonal routines—cleaning grime, reapplying wood oil or treating metal frames—help avoid costly repairs and maintain comfort and safety.

Products and practices to consider

• Cleaning solutions: mild detergents and specialist cleaners remove algae, pollen and grease without damaging finishes.
• Protective coatings: oils, waxes and sealants extend the life of timber and reduce maintenance frequency.
• Rust prevention: anti-corrosion sprays and touch-up paints protect metal frames from oxidising.
• Fabric care: water-repellent treatments and UV protectors help cushions and upholstery resist stains and fading.
• Covers and storage: breathable covers and dry storage spaces prevent mould while allowing ventilation.

Check for clearance deals on care kits and replacement parts to maintain furniture affordably. When buying refurbished or customer-return goods, look for any required maintenance items so you can restore pieces to good condition quickly.
