Wooden furniture is a valuable addition to any patio. Care and protection are important so that you can enjoy it for a long time.
Wood is a natural product and gives any furnishing a particularly attractive appearance. Wooden patio furniture also enhances the outdoor area in a wonderful way and gives a feeling of cosiness. Wooden furniture is particularly popular on Mallorca. But all wood requires care. This is the only way to ensure that the furniture can withstand the weather conditions and retain its natural beauty.
You are spoilt for choice when it comes to wood: woods such as teak, eucalyptus or acacia are particularly suitable due to their natural properties. They are naturally strong and dense; they also contain natural oils that provide natural protection against moisture and pests.
Cleaning
Above all, wooden furniture should be cleaned regularly. Dirt and deposits can be easily and gently removed with a mild soapy solution and warm water. Very important: Avoid aggressive cleaning agents and coarse brushes. These products damage the surface and make the wood vulnerable from the outside.
After cleaning, it is important to first dry the furniture by hand and then allow it to dry on its own. This way you avoid moisture damage.
Weather protection
Sun is a wonderful thing, but you should protect your wooden furniture from excessive sunlight. This can be achieved by impregnation and a weatherproof sealant. These measures not only protect the wood from the outside, they also help to prevent fading and drying out. To ensure lasting and proper protection, several coats may be required.
Protection against moisture
High humidity and rain can also cause problems with furniture. Water-repellent covers can help against this. However, make sure that your furniture is also well ventilated under the cover to prevent mold growth. Remove the accumulated rainwater regularly.
Never place your wooden furniture directly on the floor, but use small patches; this also protects against moisture damage and mold growth. The wood also remains dry from below and lasts longer overall. To avoid scratches and damage, we recommend sticking felt glides under the flooring.
Regularly check the condition of your wooden garden furniture to detect even minor or incipient damage and treat it accordingly. This also includes loose joints, damage or signs of weathering.
Freasure for years
With the right care and lasting protection, you can enjoy your wooden decking for years to come. Remember that wood is a natural product. Choose the right and suitable type of wood, clean the furniture regularly, protect it from sunlight and moisture, avoid direct contact with the ground and protect it from scratches.
With these simple tips, you can ensure that your wooden patio furniture will withstand the weather conditions in Mallorca for a long time and provide you with years of cozy and inviting enjoyment.
This is not possible without personal care and protection. But it's worth it, because wooden furniture is an expensive investment that should be protected.
