Few things represent summer quite like outdoor dining. In colder countries especially, once the sun comes out, so too does the outdoor furniture.
 
Eating al fresco can, of course, be a hugely enjoyable experience. But it comes with a downside. While most months of the year you can ignore your patio furniture - out of sight, out of mind - come the summer season, you will need to get busy keeping it clean if you want to make the most of the season. After all, few barbecue guests are going to be impressed if they need to wipe away cobwebs or dirt before they sit down.
 
The good news is that most outdoor furniture is designed to be low maintenance and easy to clean. A simple, gentle mixture of everyday detergent and warm water, along with a little elbow grease, should be enough to get most patio tables and chairs looking good.
 
If your furniture has metal parts and these have rusted over the winter months, simply sand down the affected parts and then rinse it off. Simple.
 
But don't forget the patio itself, as many people do. Especially if you're having guests over, take the time to sweep up any garden debris and even consider scrubbing the floors before you start enjoying the pleasures of outdoor dining outdoors. 

In fact, you probably want to think about power washing any decking or your patio too, to make sure that you really have removed the remnants of the winter months and you're ready to show off your garden.

If you really want to make a good impression though, call the professionals in and give your garden furniture and patio a deep clean ready for that summer barbeque.
