Now that you have bought that new outdoor furniture. Here is some things you can do to keep them looking new and make them last longer.

Prevent stains: Keep your furniture away from trees and foliage, as the bark and oils from certain trees can stain the frabrics, also keep darker colored frabrics out of direct sunlight to minimize fading.

Cleaning: Use a pressure washer (use the low setting) to get rid of caked on dirt on wrought-iron or PVC furniture. Use a damp cloth to wipe off the legs and bases of metal tables and chairs. use mild soap and warm water with a soft brush to clean cushions.

Other things you can do. In heavy storms put your furniture into a covered area. Choose furniture made of easy to clean materials, such as wrought-iron, aluminum or PVC.
