Garden Sofa Sets

Cleaning and maintaining your garden furniture sets will ensure they stay as good as new for seasons to come

First, scrub away any dust, debris, or dried dirt from the furniture using a soft brush or cloth. Start lightly, and only apply pressure on the tough spots to ensure you don’t chip away at the finish.

Use a solution of warm soapy water with a cloth to wash down the furniture, ensuring you reach each crevice, particularly in the weaving of rattan furniture. Top tip – don’t use any soaps with bleach or scouring agents, we’d recommend using a gentle soap such as washing up liquid. Simply rinse away the suds with a low-pressure garden hose, or a bucket of water, and leave it to dry in the sun. Discover more top tips from our experts in our caring for garden furniture guide.

As weather elements can affect the longevity of your garden furniture sets, we’d recommend storing or covering your garden sofa sets in the winter months. An outdoor furniture cover is a great way to protect your set from potential mould build-up and is an ideal solution if you’re short on storage space in your garden. Storing your garden furniture in a shed will also protect it from harsh weather conditions. For information on the types of furniture that can stay out all year, discover our handy guide.

We recommend storing your cushions in your shed or in garden storage when the furniture isn’t in use, so they don’t get wet, dirty, or blown away. The material of our garden cushions is sturdy enough for outdoor use, but to increase their longevity, we’d recommend storing them away in the winter months.
