Everything You Need to Know About Cleaning, Protecting and Maintaining Polywood

What Is Polywood?

Polywood is a synthetic material with the natural look of wood. It’s durable, low maintenance and resistant to weather conditions and UV rays, meaning it rarely fades or cracks. Unlike real wood, polywood doesn’t need sanding, staining or painting. It’s also easy to clean – so you can enjoy your garden furniture for years with minimal effort.

How to Keep Your Polywood Garden Furniture Looking Its Best

Step 1: Rinse Away Dirt
Remove loose dirt and leaves by rinsing your polywood furniture with a garden hose or using a sponge and water. This helps prevent build-up and makes cleaning easier.

Step 2: Clean the Surface
Use a soft cloth and our specialised Polywood Cleaner to remove stains and stubborn dirt. Rinse the furniture again with the hose and allow it to air dry.

Step 3: Protect Your Furniture
Apply a Polywood Protector to create a water- and dirt-repellent layer. Make sure the surface is completely dry and dust-free before applying the product with a lint-free cloth. This protective layer helps prevent stains and extends the life of your furniture.

Treat your furniture at least once a year to keep it in top condition.

Protecting Polywood Garden Furniture

If you use your garden furniture less during the colder months, a good protective cover is essential. It helps prevent surface damage caused by falling branches and leaves. Choose a waterproof cover that can withstand various weather conditions.

Our covers are made from waterproof polyester and feature a drawstring for a secure fit.
