Garden Sofas

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you take care of a garden sofa?

Garden sofa sets are built to withstand the elements, but a little TLC will still go a long way. To keep your garden sofa set looking its best, give it a regular clean to prevent rusting, dirt buildup and to keep it looking as good as new. We recommend cleaning your garden furniture sofa set at the beginning and end of every sunny season. Start by removing any dead leaves and debris - a garden brush can be helpful here. Once your sofa is clear, wash it down with a bucket of soapy water and a sponge. When cleaning rattan, make sure to get in between the weave as pollen, dust and dirt can often build up here. Finally, rinse thoroughly with a garden hose or a bucket of clean water and leave in a sunny spot to dry before storing or putting on a cover.

Should you cover garden furniture every night?

During dry, warm weather it is usually fine to leave garden sofa sets without a cover over night. However, if there's rain in the forecast or it's later in the summer months when overnight dew can be heavy, then keeping a cover on your garden sofa set will ensure that it's dry for you to sit on with a cup of tea in the morning.

Can garden furniture be left out all year?

Our garden sofa sets are crafted from hand-woven, artificial rattan which is durable, weatherproof and easy to clean. A powder-coated steel frame means that our outdoor sofa sets can be left outside year round with no concerns over rusting. To keep your sofa looking brand new, it's a good idea to protect it with a furniture cover over the colder months.
