Protecting And Storing Wrought Iron Furniture

Now that we've reached mid Autumn, a large number of homeowners who own wrought-iron furniture will be looking to protect it from cold temperatures as well as rain and in some cases snow.

Once the winter arrives bad whether is all but guaranteed which tends to take its toll rather quickly on furniture made of wrought and ornamental iron. Homeowners however needn't fret as there are ways to both protect and store furniture made of wrought iron safely until warmer weather returns.

You might be saying to yourself, "but my iron furniture is protected by a finish that was applied in the factory", but these finishes wear away quickly if the furniture has seen a fair amount of inclement weather.

If you need to store and protect your iron furniture and are no longer using it because it's gotten cold outside you can do so by cleaning your furniture before storing it which will help reduce and retard rust as well as wear and tear caused by other elements. Your best bet is going to be utilize a sponge and some warm water along with a few drops of dish soap. You'll then need to rinse your furniture off, most likely with a garden hose, and check all the furniture for rusty areas. Any rust that is found should be treated and removed before the furniture is put into storage.

Once furniture is clean homeowners can apply a dab of automobile wax with a dry cleaning cloth. This will protect iron furniture from the elements during his time in storage and will ensure that looks great when it's taken out come springtime. Lastly, once furniture is in storage homeowners should be sure to cover it with outdoor furniture covers for added protection.
