Easy Care Aluminum Patio Furniture

Aluminum Patio Furniture

Maintaining aluminum patio furniture is simple and easy, making it a great choice for a beautiful and durable product with minimal upkeep. Aluminum is designed to stand up well to weather, temperature, and heavy use. When your furniture does become dirty, washing it with a mild soap and water will have it clean quickly. A soft bristle brush will give you extra cleaning power without harming your finish. If you have non-textured aluminum furniture, using automotive wax maintains gloss and shine. For textured surfaces, wax will be too thick and may stick in your textured areas. Baby oil or mineral oil will be a better option. Another good tip is to clean spills or spots on your furniture as soon as possible. Cleaning and maintaining your outdoor furniture is the best thing that you can do to ensure its long life and continued beauty. With aluminum, cleaning and maintaining is super quick and super easy!

All of our materials are designed to remain beautiful for years to come. They are inexpensive to buy and operate. Most operate off standard lamp oil and citronella oil can be substituted to give you the added bonus of insect control.
