A Year-Round Maintenance Calendar You’ll Actually Use

Kick off with a thorough wash to remove pollen and winter grime, then tighten hardware and test moving parts. Re-seal wood as needed and wash cushion covers before the first barbecue. Want a printable checklist? Subscribe, and we’ll send seasonal reminders you can tick off in minutes.

Cleaning Techniques for Every Forecast

Towel-dry flat surfaces to stop water spotting, tip chairs to release trapped moisture, and lubricate hinges if squeaks appear. Check for pooling on table covers and adjust tension. Share how often storms roll through your area, and we’ll customize a post-rain routine to match.

Cleaning Techniques for Every Forecast

Use a low-pressure hose to lift dust, then wipe with a mild, pH-balanced soap that won’t strip finishes. Avoid abrasive pads that dull powder coat or cloud resin. Finish with a microfiber buff to reduce static cling. Comment with your dustiest month and we’ll suggest an ideal cadence.

Smart Protection: Covers, Placement, and Shade

Choose covers with vents to reduce condensation and mildew. Tent the center with a soft object so water runs off, and secure hems to stop wind lift. Always cover dry furniture only. Ask us about sizing quirks for sectionals—drop your dimensions, and we’ll help you pick a better fit.

Preventive Treatments and Quick Fixes

Lightly sand rust spots, wipe clean, and prime with a zinc-rich primer before color-matched touch-up paint. Let coats cure fully, then finish with a thin wax layer. Have a tricky finish code? Comment with the brand and color name, and we’ll help you find a near-perfect match.

Preventive Treatments and Quick Fixes

Clean stains with a wood-safe cleaner, brighten grayed areas if desired, and seal end grain to limit moisture uptake. Oil selectively if you prefer a warm hue, or embrace the silvery patina. Unsure which look suits your space? Share a photo—our community loves weighing in.
