Clean your outdoor furniture regularly to keep it fresh and sparkling. Start by washing fabric cushions and throw pillows with mild detergent and water to remove dirt and stains. Rinse these textiles thoroughly and place them in a sunny spot to air dry. 

Next, spray outdoor furniture with a garden hose to dislodge dust, pollen, and other debris. Use a cloth or sponge to wipe the furniture with soap and water. 

If you have wicker patio furniture, spray it with a 50:50 mixture of vinegar and water to prevent mildew. Finally, consider storing your outdoor furniture inside during inclement weather to minimize cleaning. 

Outdoor furniture typically goes on sale from August through October. These discounts often increase over time as retailers aim to clear out their summer stock and make space for new merchandise. 

For example, a store may sell patio furniture for 25% off in August. By late October, this discount may have risen to 60% as the retailer prepares for the holidays. 

Additionally, many retailers have outdoor furniture sales for Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and back-to-school season. These sales can allow you to snag high-quality furniture at significant discounts, so you have more money to spend on other decor. 

Outdoor wooden furniture looks stylish but can be damaged by the sun, rain, and other elements. Luckily, there are several ways to protect these items. Many people apply sealant or varnish to their wooden outdoor seating. These finishings can protect the wood from water and UV rays. You could also cover the furniture with weather-resistant outdoor paint. 

Also, proper maintenance will keep your wooden furniture fresher for longer. Consider covering these items or storing them inside during the winter and harsh weather. You could also place the furniture under a covered porch or pergola to shield it from the elements and extend its lifespan.
