Maintaining Azzurro Living Outdoor Furniture – Mildew Prevention and Care

Azzurro Living outdoor furniture is crafted to withstand various weather conditions and is often labeled as "All Weather." However, like any outdoor furniture, regular maintenance is essential to ensure its longevity and aesthetic appeal. Exposure to moisture and organic particles in the air can lead to mildew buildup over time, even in protected and ventilated spaces. This article provides general tips for preventing and removing mildew from outdoor furniture, along with recommended products for care.

1. Understanding Mildew on Outdoor Furniture:

  • Outdoor furniture faces environmental factors such as humidity and organic particles that can result in mildew growth, particularly on softer materials like rope and fabric.
  • While mildew does not affect the durability of Azzurro Living furniture, it may impact its appearance if not routinely maintained.

2. Routine Cleaning Recommendations:

  • Frequency: Clean all furniture pieces regularly, especially after exposure to moisture or extended outdoor use.
  • Cleaning Process:
    1. Prepare a solution of mild detergent and water.
    2. Use a soft cloth or brush to scrub affected areas gently, focusing on rope or fabric sections if applicable.
    3. Rinse thoroughly with water and allow the furniture to air dry completely.

3. Preventing Mildew with 303 Aerospace Protectant:
