Cuprinol Garden Furniture Restorer For Wood, 1L, Clear

Product Information

Rattan is a popular material to find in garden seating ideas and the synthetic kind can last for many years outdoors, even during the winter. This is as long as the weave is strong and has been covered in a UV protective coat. Rattan is weather resistant and easy to clean, so a little TLC will keep it looking its best. This brightens the wood and is left until the desired colour is achieved. This cleaner and brightener left the best colour of all the cleaners tested, restoring the red-brown ‘just-sanded’ look better than any of the others. Our water-based teak care products will restore, maintain and protect your teak garden furniture without causing a multitude of problems that create more work for you. For opaque pastel shades and vibrant colours, we recommend using a dedicated garden paint. Garden paints are best suited to bare wood or wood that has been thoroughly stripped or sanded. They are not suitable for wood that has been waxed, oiled or treated with products such as wood preservatives that contain wax, oil or silicon. How to maintain a garden furniture stain

Old grey-silver garden furniture

It foamed up when agitating, and removed the dirt and grime. It didn’t restore the colour as well as the two-stage StarBrite Teak Cleaner and StarBrite Teak Brightener, but there was an improvement in colour. After a winter’s exposure and near a scrap metal yard, this teak was green and slippery, with slimy mould and lots of dirt turning it a green-grey – all in all, a good test for the products. We applied it as directed and left it. After 10 days the wood had already started to look better, having lost the growth that had previously made it slippery and dirty.

We can refurbish, repair and powder coat almost any item, including garden furniture, radiators, windows, planters, metal fittings, bike frames, handrails, gates, garden ornaments, wheels and more. Another method to remove algae and its stains is to use a mixture of baking soda, water and vinegar. Add two parts white vinegar to one part water and three heaped spoons of baking soda. Place a scrubbing brush into the mixture and apply it to the algae stains on your furniture, then leave it for ten minutes. Gently scrub away the algae and the stains and rinse the mixture away with water, before leaving it to dry in the sun. What is the best thing to clean garden furniture? We offer an in-house abrasive cleaning service to create perfect surface preparation for your product. We provide a cleaning/pre-treatment method which removes all grease and residue from the metal and helps protect it from corrosion, giving the perfect surface for finishing by either painting or powder coating. If your metal furniture is already rusting fear not. Take some white vinegar and pour it evenly over the surface of the furniture and give it about an hour to settle.

Top 5 Garden Furniture Stains

Garden furniture stains and oils produce a translucent finish, usually in the colour of other wood species such as Mahogany, Oak, Teak, Cedar and Rosewood to name just a few. Garden furniture paints cover the wood with an opaque, weatherproof finish and are available in hundreds of colours from soft pastel shades to vibrant striking tones. You paint a coat onto damp teak, wait until it’s nearly dry and paint on another coat. This is then left for some days, ideally with a little rain, whereupon the wood will turn a uniform silver-grey. Before you start cleaning the wood, remove any loose dirt using a soft brush or vacuum, and make sure the wood is dry before doing so. If you can’t use a specialised wood cleaner, Rian Habergham, garden furniture expert at Leisure Bench advises using warm and soapy water.
