At Balliu, we know that proper care of outdoor furniture is key to keeping your spaces looking their best. Our products are made from durable materials, designed to withstand the harshest conditions, ensuring you can enjoy them for many years to come. Below, we offer expert advice on outdoor furniture maintenance, to ensure your furniture stays in top condition.

Why is regular maintenance for outdoor furniture key?

The importance of durability and quality in outdoor furniture

Durability and quality are essential to prolong the useful life of outdoor furniture. At Balliu, we have more than 50 years of experience and research, with the aim of obtaining the best results in functionality, comfort and durability for the end user. This approach has allowed us to achieve ISO 9001 certification, which validates the excellence of our production processes.

This certification is the result of years of research to develop new materials and products, improving both the manufacturing and assembly of our furniture. In addition, the integration of all processes in our two factories is subject to strict quality control, ensuring products that offer superior performance in any environment.

How long should high-quality outdoor furniture last?

Our furniture, with proper maintenance, can last for many years. Balliu offers original spare parts, ensuring the longevity of each product. It is important to follow a regular maintenance plan and always use original Balliu spare parts. If the furniture is exposed to intensive use, it is advisable to increase the frequency of maintenance. The product should not be used before completing the maintenance plan and it is crucial to avoid aggressive chemicals.

How to protect outdoor furniture from the elements?

Good practices for waterproofing your outdoor tables and chairs

Protecting your outdoor furniture from the elements is essential to ensure its durability. At Balliu, we recommend:

Weather-resistant covers: Although our products are designed to withstand the harshest conditions, using weather-resistant covers can extend their lifespan.
Using specific cleaners: Using products such as Deck Defender, a specialized cleaner for canvas, upholstery and covers, is ideal for keeping your furniture in optimal condition. This cleaner does not contain silicones, is biodegradable, and has a basic pH, perfect for protecting your furniture without damaging it.

Protection from sun, rain and snow: materials that resist the weather

At Balliu, we use materials such as recyclable polypropylene resin and UV-resistant fabrics, which offer excellent protection against fading and weather wear. These materials ensure that your furniture will maintain its good looks for many years to come.

Cleaning outdoor furniture: specific care for each material

How to clean aluminum, plastic and wood furniture without damaging it?

Each material requires a specific treatment for cleaning. At Balliu, we recommend the use of soft products and delicate cloths:

Aluminum: Our aluminum tables and chairs are easily cleaned with warm water and mild soap. For tougher stains, avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the paint.
Plastic: Polypropylene resin sun loungers, such as the Carmen T slatted sun lounger, should be cleaned with mild soap and water. Make sure to use pH neutral products.
Wood: Our wooden furniture requires regular maintenance with special oil and pH neutral cleaners. Always use a soft cloth to avoid scratching the surface.

Stain removal techniques for different surfaces: quick solutions and deep cleaning

Balliu provides you with furniture that is easy to maintain. For a quick or deep clean, we recommend using specific products for each type of material, such as our Deck Defender for fabrics. By following these recommendations, you can keep your furniture in perfect condition, regardless of the surface or material.

The value of spare parts: extend the life of your outdoor furniture

Why choose outdoor furniture with spare parts available?

At Balliu, we manufacture original spare parts designed exclusively for our products. This ensures that, when replacing worn parts, your furniture will maintain the same quality and durability as when it was new. It is important to always use original Balliu spare parts, as we do not manufacture spare parts for other brands.

Expert-recommended storage solutions for off-season protection

The best ideas for storing outdoor furniture and maximizing its durability

Storing furniture correctly during the months of inactivity is essential to maximise its durability. At Balliu, our loungers and tables are designed to facilitate stacking, making the storage process simple and efficient. In addition, we recommend covering them with covers and storing them in dry and ventilated places.

Seasonal maintenance: What to do before storing furniture?

Before storing your furniture for the off-season, it’s crucial to perform preventative maintenance. Thoroughly clean each piece, using appropriate products such as Deck Defender for fabrics and pH-neutral cleaners for other materials. Check for worn parts and replace them before storing them. This ensures they’ll be ready to use when the next season comes around.

Common mistakes to avoid when maintaining outdoor furniture

To ensure that your outdoor furniture remains in top condition, it is important to avoid certain common mistakes:

Not performing regular maintenance: Many homeowners underestimate the importance of cleaning and protecting their furniture regularly.
Using inappropriate cleaning products: Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that can damage the materials. Always use pH neutral cleaners.
Do not replace worn parts: Ignoring wear and tear can shorten the lifespan of your furniture. Always use original Balliu spare parts to maintain the quality and durability of your products.
Improper storage: Failure to properly protect and store furniture during the off-season can expose it to avoidable damage.

With these expert tips on outdoor furniture maintenance, your Balliu furniture will stay looking new for years to come.
