It’s getting to be the time to store porch and patio furniture for the winter. Many homeowners use their garages for this purpose, while others use sheds or basements. Still others leave the furniture out on their decks or patios. Whichever way you do it, you should review some of these tips to store your furniture properly so it’s ready next spring.
- Clean the furniture with a soft scrubbing solution and a sponge.
- Dry the furniture completely so that mold doesn’t grow if it’s going inside or it doesn’t freeze if staying outside.
- Cover furniture staying outside to keep it dry and to help prevent it from blowing.
- Use heavier furniture to anchor the cover, using tie-downs if necessary.
- Clean snow off furniture during the winter.
