Cuprinol Garden Furniture Restorer For Wood, 1L, Clear

Product Information

Rattan is a popular material to find in garden seating ideas and the synthetic kind can last for many years outdoors, even during the winter. Instead, I recommend cleaning it all over with a wood cleaner, giving it light sand, and then applying a saturating wood oil. We would suggest spraying your metal with a heavy-duty cleaner that is safe on metals, paints and most plastics.

Outdoor wooden furniture that has been grey or silver for a number of years may require a second application to achieve the best results. This oil content makes teak weatherproof, water-resistant and rot-resistant so it can last a lifetime if properly cared for. We diluted some household bleach and painted it on to damp wood, agitating it with a brush, leaving it for 15 minutes and then rinsing off. Step Three: Make sure that the replacement strand of rattan is longer than the strand you have cut out. In case there are any sagging areas or tears, we can also help repair your sofa by replacing broken strings or place sealants around the damaged area.

Better still if the covers are removable pop them on a gentle cycle every so often to keep them fresh. Most people equate antiques to wood furniture, but these can also include pieces made from other materials such as silver or marble. Others recommend pressure-washing the teak – but again, this can cause major damage to the wood and should be avoided. Your handyman starts by stripping your furniture of old layers with a mix of old varnish and polish.
