Outdoor furniture from Higold Milano is renowned for its elegant design and weather resistance.

Here are some useful tips to take care of your outdoor furniture:

1. Regular Cleaning
Regular cleaning
is essential to prevent dirt buildup and stains. Use a soft cloth and a mild detergent to clean the furniture surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the materials.
- Fabrics: Cushions and fabrics can be cleaned with warm water and a mild detergent. Use a soft brush to remove dirt and rinse thoroughly;
- Wood: For wooden furniture, use specific products for outdoor wood treatment. A protective oil can help keep the wood hydrated and protect it from UV rays;
- Metal and aluminum: These materials can be cleaned with water and mild soap. Dry immediately to prevent rust formation.

2. Weather Protection
Even though Higold Milano outdoor furniture is designed to withstand weather conditions, it is always a good idea to protect it during extreme seasons.
- Protective covers: Use waterproof covers to protect the furniture during winter or heavy rain. Ensure the furniture is completely dry before covering;
- Placement: If possible, place the furniture in a sheltered area, such as under a veranda or gazebo, to reduce direct exposure to the elements.

3. Seasonal Maintenance
At least once a year, it is advisable to perform more thorough maintenance to ensure the furniture remains in optimal condition.
- Joint check: Ensure all joints and screws are tight. This is particularly important for metal or aluminum furniture;
- Wood treatment: Apply a protective treatment to wooden furniture. Teak oil is ideal for outdoor furniture as it helps preserve the natural beauty of the wood;
- Fabric review: Check cushions and covers for signs of wear or damage. Replace or repair damaged elements to maintain a fresh and new appearance.

4. Proper Storage
If you do not use the outdoor furniture for an extended period, store it in a dry and sheltered place.
- Disassembly: If possible, disassemble the furniture to reduce storage space and prevent damage;
- Ventilation: Ensure the storage area is well-ventilated to prevent moisture and mold formation.

By following these simple tips, you can keep your outdoor furniture in perfect condition, ensuring long-lasting durability and maintaining the elegance and comfort that characterize Higold Milano's products.
