    Protecting Your Chaise Lounges from the Elements

    Once you've cleaned your chaise lounge relaxation station, properly protecting outdoor furniture from the elements with effective poolside furniture care is crucial to maintaining its condition and appearance. 

    • Positioning: Place your chaise lounges in a shaded area to reduce direct sun exposure, aka the main culprit behind fading and weakening materials over time. If shade isn't available, consider investing in outdoor umbrellas and canopies. 

    • Furniture Covers: Waterproof covers are an excellent investment to shield your furniture from rain and UV rays. Ensure the covers fit snugly and are made of breathable material to prevent moisture buildup that can lead to mold and mildew. You can even find companies that will personalize your covers with logos, crests, and other graphics of your choosing. 

    • Inside Furniture Storage: During extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain, strong winds or hail, it's best to bring your chaise lounges indoors or to move them to a sheltered area to protect them from potential damage.

    Best Practices for Seasonal Storage

    As seasons change, so should your approach to chaise lounge storage. Proper seasonal storage helps prevent damage and keeps your furniture in top condition.  

    • Pre-Storage Cleaning: Before storing your chaise lounges for the off-season, give them a more thorough cleaning. Follow all regular routine cleaning and maintenance steps listed above before setting them into storage. If you've been routinely cleaning throughout the summer, this step is much faster than you think.

    • Choosing the Right Storage Location: Store your chaise lounges in a dry, sheltered area like a garage, insulated shed, or basement. Avoid damp or unheated spaces, as these can lead to mold growth and material degradation.  

    • Disassembly for Compact Storage: If your chaise lounges can be disassembled, take them apart to save space and reduce the risk of damage. Keep all hardware in a labeled container for easy reassembly. Consider wrapping the pieces in clear cellophane stretch wrap to both keep them together and protect against damage.

    Inspecting and Maintaining the Frame and Fabric

    Regular outdoor furniture maintenance ensures that the structural integrity of your chaise lounges remains intact, safe and comfortable. Early detection of any damage or excessive wear and tear can save you countless time and money having to replace them earlier than anticipated.  

    • Checking the Frame: Inspect the frame for any signs of rust, corrosion, or structural damage. Tighten any loose screws or bolts and apply a rust-resistant primer or paint to areas showing signs of wear. If you find rust, sand it off with a fine grit sandpaper (think 200+), clean it, then apply the rust-resistant coating of your choice. 

    • Fabric Care: Examine the fabric for tears, fraying, or fading. Clean the fabric according to the manufacturer's instructions and consider applying a fabric protector to enhance its durability and resistance to stains and UV damage.  

    • Replacing Worn Parts: If any part of your chaise lounge is beyond repair, replace it promptly to maintain the overall integrity and safety of the furniture. 

    Oftentimes the best way to enjoy the great outdoors is by having a great time in your own backyard. Get togethers with friends, family, neighbors - everything is better when you offer the opportunity to really lay back and relax in a chaise. By following these maintenance tips for poolside chaise lounges, you can ensure that your outdoor oasis remains inviting and stylish for your favorite guests year after year.
