Your patio furniture can last for years if properly taken care of. But most of people didn’t know how to , just follow these simple steps to make your patio furniture last longer:

Depends on what kind of material your patio furniture is made of, here are different tips:

• If it's weatherproof metal, don't worry about cleaning too much. Simply wipe it down with soapy water.

• To make hardwood patio furniture last longer, make sure to use penetrating oil cleaner. It helps keep moisture out.

• If you've got wicker, the process is more involved. Spray it down with water and use a soft brush with soap to get the trickier spaces clean. The last thing you want is mold or mildew in there, so put it in the sun to dry afterwards.

• Remember that cushions and their covers also need some cleaning. Making those cushions last longer is to make sure they fully dry before you store them.

• If you've got cloth furniture, you can clean the canvas by machine washing it on a gentle cycle. Add bleach if you want to brighten the white, but know that it'll cause the cloth to wear out more quickly. The sun can bleach cloth more gently. To avoid shrinking, hang the canvas outside for a few hours.

Your backyard can be a beautiful outdoor living room with amazing patio furniture, and last for long use, if you pay attention on above.
