Restoring Your Outdoor Pub Furniture
What furniture is ideal for your mobile home or caravan? Caravans and mobile homes are more and more common because so many of us have preferred to have holidays closer to home these past couple of years. OvYour outdoor furniture has most likely endured a lot. After all, we do live in the UK! Your tables and chairs might look a bit worse for wear from heavy use to the unpredictable harsh weather.er 2 million people have holidays in caravans and motorhomes each year, and this number is expected to climb.
Cleaning and Restoring
Wooden Furniture
The majority of your wooden furniture can stay outside all year round. But it does need looking after. To start, remove any dust or dirt that has built up. The colour or finish of your furniture could have become dull, so using a good restorer should bring your furniture back to life. Your tables and chairs should look a lot better and refreshed by doing these two steps. But it is important to protect them from future use. You can do this by applying teak oil, which protects it from weathering, UV rays, and water stains.
Metal Furniture
Metal furniture is a great option for outdoor drinking and dining. But it can be prone to rust. One of the best things you can do for your tables and chairs is to invest in good quality active corrosion spray, especially during the warmer months as there is more heat and humidity, and rust thrives in this environment. If your furniture has rust, try pouring some white vinegar over the rusty area, then leave it to sit for an hour or so then wipe it away with a cloth.
Plastic Furniture
Plastic furniture can be left outside but discolouring is common so when they are not in use, make sure you bring them indoors. You can easily clean plastic tables and chairs with hot soapy water and a sponge or cloth. If you would like a bit more protection, you can even add a layer of clear car wax.
Wicker Furniture
The majority of your wicker furniture can be left outdoors all year round. You need to be careful when treating wicker furniture, however. This is to avoid damage so stay away from using any harsh chemicals. For quick cleaning, dust the furniture with a dry brush. Then with a soft cloth, gently cleanse it with a non-foaming cleaning product. Use a hose or pressure washer to get any dirt trapped between the weaves but make sure it is on a low setting.
Investing In New Outdoor Pub Furniture
If you feel your furniture is too far gone and you are unable to bring it back to life by cleaning, then you should consider replacing it. Before purchasing new furniture, the most important thing is to check that it is contract grade. Domestic outdoor furniture will not survive in a hospitality setting. We only supply contract-grade furniture here at Strictly Tables and Chairs so feel confident that you are receiving top-quality products.
The last thing to consider is how you store your furniture when it is not in use. Although most outdoor furniture can survive all year round, we do suggest storing it indoors as this will help it last longer as it won’t have to endure any harsh weather unnecessarily. By moving your furniture indoors or even investing in some good quality covers, you can prevent a lot of wear and tear.
Strictly Tables and Chairs has a large selection of contract-grade outdoor furniture, so if you have any questions or queries, don’t hesitate to get in contact. You can either use the instant chat on our website, email sales@stac.co.uk or call us on 01462 455 938.
