Why Winter Preparation Matters
Even the most durable outdoor furniture benefits from proper seasonal care. Freeze-thaw cycles, moisture accumulation, and prolonged UV exposure during storage can degrade materials faster than years of normal use.
Step 1: Clean Thoroughly
Before storing or covering, give every piece a deep clean. Use mild soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and allow furniture to dry completely in the sun before covering.
Step 2: Cushion & Fabric Care
Remove all cushions and store them in a dry, ventilated space. Use breathable fabric storage bags — never plastic, which traps moisture and promotes mildew.
Step 3: Cover or Store
If indoor storage is available, that is always the best option. Otherwise, invest in high-quality waterproof furniture covers with ventilation panels.
Step 4: Aluminium & Frame Care
ELEMENCE aluminium frames require minimal winter maintenance. A thorough clean and a dry cover are usually sufficient.
Step 5: Glass & Ceramic Tables
Tempered glass and ceramic tabletops are freeze-resistant. Clear snow and ice gently using a plastic shovel or broom — never metal.
Step 6: Spring Readiness
When warmer weather returns, uncover your furniture on a sunny day and let it air out. Inspect for damage, clean, and reattach cushions.
"Winter is the season to protect what you love. Come spring, your outdoor sanctuary will thank you."
Shop furniture covers and care products to keep your ELEMENCE pieces in pristine condition year-round.
