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!

Shade Cloth Makes The Perfect Patio Cover
Coolaroo and Commercial 95 Shade Cloth is a great solution for providing shade and comfort to your patio or pergola. Coolaroo’s knitted shade cloth fabric blocks 70% or 90% of the sun’s dangerous UV rays (depending on the fabric you choose) while “breathing” to allow air to circulate and keep the environment underneath cooler. It is color fast and also resistant to rot, mildew, or mold. Commercial 95 is a high density polyethylene knitted fabric specially designed to breathe. It will keep you cooler and more comfortable in hot weather. It blocks 85% of UV rays and offers the same resistance as Coolaroo. You can choose from a variety of colors and can order the cloth by the linear yard or in bulk by buying a full roll. Either cloth will provide a shady and UV protected cover for your patio or pergola.
