Outdoor sofas require different cleaning and maintenance methods depending on their materials. When you use the right methods, the sofas stay durable and attractive for a longer time. Moreover, proper care helps you enjoy a more comfortable outdoor experience.

Aluminum Alloy Outdoor Sofa
Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove dust. For stubborn stains, apply mild soapy water.
Maintenance: Avoid scratching with hard objects. In addition, use a protective cover during the rainy season.
Solid Wood Outdoor Sofas (Teak, Acacia, etc.)
Cleaning: Regularly wipe with a slightly damp cloth and avoid prolonged water accumulation.
Maintenance: Apply wood oil every few months to prevent cracking and fading. Furthermore, keep the sofa away from direct sunlight.
Wicker (PE Wicker) Sofa
Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove dust from the gaps. Then, gently wipe with soapy water and rinse it off.
Maintenance: Avoid prolonged sun exposure or heavy pressure. Therefore, we recommend using a waterproof seat cover.
Stainless Steel Outdoor Sofa
Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, choose a neutral cleaner.
Maintenance: Inspect the welding areas regularly. If rust spots appear, remove them promptly and apply anti-rust treatment.
Plastic Wood (WPC) Sofa
Cleaning: Rinse with clean water or use a neutral cleaner. This process is simple and convenient.
Maintenance: Generally, WPC sofas need little maintenance. However, avoid scratching the surface with sharp objects.
Outdoor Fabrics and Seat Cushions
Cleaning: Machine wash detachable fabric covers regularly. For non-detachable parts, wipe with a mild cleaner.
Maintenance: Store cushions during the rainy season. In addition, choose waterproof and UV-resistant fabrics such as Sunbrella.
