Our Greenville outdoor furniture shop wants to remind you that Spring 2016 brings with it the usual suspects of weather. In North Carolina, the suspects are blooming plants, cardinals and other birds of the area, and fluctuating rain and wind, and the occasional sunshine. One minute it seems perfectly acceptable to grill outdoors on your Daughtridge grill, and the next you are wondering if you should call it quits, because storm clouds are moving in across the way. Fear not, those of you in Greenville, NC, Roanoke Rapids, NC, and Rocky Mount, NC – the outdoor furniture you find in our Greenville, NC showroom is made to last through all these conditions. Even so, is there truly a way to protect your elegant furniture from natural challenges like wind-blown pollen or bird waste? After all, your investment in durable, high-quality outdoor furniture is one that we have to help you protect. Of course, the methods used for cleaning your Greenville outdoor furniture will vary based on what materials your furniture is made of.
According to one of our furniture providers, Summer Classics, preparing your hearth for Spring 2016 is a step-by-step process that involves a mixture of products that are safe to use on wrought aluminum, iron, and on wicker.
For wicker products, use a mild soap like car soap and warm water. Whatever you do, avoid using chemicals like bleach products, laundry detergent, or dish detergent. Once you have your mixture, scrub it into the spot that is stained or dirty.
For wrought metal products, use 400-grit sandpaper to sand the damaged or dirty area, and only that area. Then apply touch up paint that matches the color of your iron or aluminum.
Of course, taking care of your outdoor furniture in Greenville, NC, Roanoke Rapids, or Rocky Mount, NC is just the start of the process. You may also want to prepare your hearth for Spring by cleaning out your fire pit, wiping down your grill and tables, and vacuuming any outdoor rugs that you may own.
