HOUSTON, April 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Spring is just around the
corner, and backyard parties, barbecues and pool parties will be
here before we know it. Get your patio ready for entertaining with
these easy spring-cleaning tips from Fortunoff® Backyard
Store.
Assess your space
As with all spring-cleaning projects, it helps to get an idea of
the job at hand before you begin. Walk around your space and make
note of areas that need attention, such as dried plant beds, broken
or worn furniture, and mildewed cushions. Pay attention to
potential electrical issues like frayed string lights or
water-damaged lanterns. Make a plan and budget for addressing each
need.
Clean and Declutter
Create a clean slate by clearing dried plants, cobwebs and
leaves. Sweep and power wash your patio or deck. Discard broken or
mildewed furniture, cushions and umbrellas.
Gently brush dirt and dust from your outdoor furniture and clean
it according to its material. Teak patio furniture and aluminum
outdoor furniture can be sponge-cleaned with a solution of mild
soap and water, followed by rinsing and air drying. Wicker or
rattan furniture should be carefully cleaned with water and a
gentle detergent, rinsed and towel-dried. And Polymer outdoor
furniture can be easily cleaned with soap and water, rinsed clean
and air dried.
Replace and Refresh
For safety as well as style, replace broken or cracked
furniture. Swap mildewed, torn or faded upholstered and fabric
pieces like cushions, pillows and umbrella covers with durable,
weather-resistant options. Update lighting accessories and small
furnishings to help make your outdoor space an extension of your
interior style.
Take advantage of seasonal sales at local retailers, where
on-staff experts can offer personalized suggestions and design
advice.
"When it comes to spring cleaning your patio, small changes make
a big difference," said Michelle
Weisman, Director of Visual Design for Fortunoff® Backyard
Store. "Simple replacements and refreshed décor can turn a basic
space into the perfect spot to comfortably and proudly host family
and friends all season long."
