Frequently Asked Questions*

What care products do I need for wooden garden furniture?

Wooden furniture needs teak oil or wood treatment oil to prevent cracking and maintain colour. Apply annually to teak, hardwood (acacia, eucalyptus), and softwood furniture. Use furniture cleaner before oiling to remove dirt and grey patina. For weathered wood, use wood restorer or brightener first. Protective sealants add extra weather resistance. Teak can be left untreated to develop natural silver-grey patina, but oiling maintains golden colour.

How often should I oil my teak garden furniture?

Oil teak furniture once annually if you want to maintain the golden honey colour. Apply in spring before the outdoor season begins. If you prefer the natural silver-grey patina, teak doesn't require oiling—it will weather naturally over 6-12 months. Clean teak with furniture cleaner before oiling to ensure proper absorption. One application per year is sufficient for protection and colour maintenance.

Can I use the same products on synthetic rattan and natural rattan?

No, synthetic rattan (polypropylene wicker) and natural rattan require different care. Synthetic rattan needs only mild soap and water or specialist synthetic rattan cleaner—it doesn't require oils or treatments. Natural rattan benefits from occasional treatment with rattan conditioner to prevent drying and cracking. Most modern garden furniture uses synthetic rattan which is low-maintenance and doesn't need specialist treatments.

What products remove rust from metal garden furniture?

Use rust remover or rust converter products specifically designed for outdoor metal furniture. Apply to affected areas, allow to work according to instructions, then clean off. After rust removal, apply metal protector or rust-inhibiting primer to prevent recurrence. For aluminium furniture, rust isn't an issue—use aluminium cleaner to maintain finish. Regular cleaning and protective coatings prevent rust on steel and iron furniture.

How do I restore weathered or grey teak furniture?

Use teak cleaner or wood brightener to remove grey patina and restore golden colour. Apply the cleaner, scrub gently with a soft brush, rinse thoroughly, and allow to dry completely (24-48 hours). Then apply teak oil to nourish the wood and maintain the restored colour. This process can be done annually or whenever you want to refresh weathered teak. Some people prefer the natural grey patina and skip restoration.

What's the difference between furniture oil and furniture sealer?

Furniture oil (teak oil, wood oil) penetrates wood to nourish, prevent cracking, and maintain colour. It needs annual reapplication. Furniture sealer creates a protective surface coating that repels water and prevents staining. Sealers last longer (2-3 years) but can change wood appearance. Use oil for natural look and annual maintenance, sealer for maximum protection and less frequent application. Some products combine both properties.

Can I use household cleaners on garden furniture?

Avoid harsh household cleaners, bleach, or abrasive products on garden furniture as they can damage finishes, fade colours, or deteriorate materials. Use mild soap and water for routine cleaning, or specialist furniture cleaners designed for outdoor use. Furniture-specific cleaners are pH-balanced and formulated not to harm wood, rattan, metal, or fabric finishes. Always test cleaners on inconspicuous areas first.

How do I clean and protect garden furniture cushions?

Use fabric cleaner designed for outdoor cushions. Most cushion covers are machine washable—check care labels. For spot cleaning, use mild soap and water or specialist fabric cleaner. Apply fabric protector spray after cleaning to add water and stain resistance. Store cushions indoors or in waterproof storage boxes when not in use. Regular cleaning and protection extends cushion life significantly.

What maintenance do aluminium and synthetic rattan furniture need?

Aluminium and synthetic rattan furniture require minimal maintenance. Clean with mild soap and warm water, or use specialist synthetic rattan cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and dry. No oils, treatments, or sealants are needed. Occasionally check fixings and tighten if necessary. Use furniture covers during winter for added protection. This low-maintenance combination is why aluminium and synthetic rattan are popular for UK gardens.

When is the best time to apply furniture treatments?

Apply treatments in spring (March-May) before the outdoor season begins. Choose dry, mild days (10-20°C) with no rain forecast for 24-48 hours. Wood needs to be completely dry before applying oils or sealants. Avoid treating furniture in direct hot sun as products may dry too quickly. Autumn treatments (September-October) before winter also work well. Allow treatments to cure fully before using furniture.

How long do furniture care products last once opened?

Most furniture oils and treatments last 2-3 years once opened if stored properly in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight. Check product labels for specific shelf life. Shake or stir products before use if they've been stored for extended periods. Cleaners typically last longer (3-5 years). Dispose of products that have separated, changed colour, or smell unusual. Buy quantities you'll use within the shelf life.
