Your garden furniture might be looking a bit shabby, but don’t give up on it just yet.  It can take just one afternoon to transform it from lacklustre to lovely. 

It’s satisfying and simple to do, and means you don’t need to splash out on anything new, potentially saving yourself hundreds of pounds.

How to clean and restore wooden garden furniture:

This can be left in the garden all year round, although it will weather to a silvery grey finish. To clean it after a long winter, first remove all the excess dirt, dust and cobwebs that have built up with a stiff bristle brush. If your hardwood furniture is a few years old and has silvered with age, you can restore it to its original colour by using water and soap, then you can use a lake for wood. 

To keep your garden furniture spick and span, you should wash it down with a wood-cleaning product at least once a year. And, whenever you feel it needs it, you should apply a wood stain or paint that contains a preservative. It's important that you always treat your furniture in dry weather, and focus on any horizontal surfaces where water is likely to collect.
