Summer is rapidly approaching, and everyone is looking forward to spending time outside in the sun, especially now that restrictions are lifted. However, many of us are concerned about sun damage to our outdoor fabric furniture when it is left uncovered. We've all seen the colour fade out of that once vibrant set in just a few short seasons. So what are your options? You could invest in new seating every year, or you could protect your outdoor fabric furniture with covers. Today we're going to talk about why it's crucial to protect your outdoor seating when the weather gets hot and explore the best ways to protect your outdoor furniture.

Cover your furniture

Although fabric cushions and upholstery fabrics are made to resist several weather conditions, they tend to fade away when overexposed to sun rays, rain and harsh wind chills. The best method to prevent your textiles from fading is to store them out of the light when not in use. If they're not in the sun, then they don't become fatigued from the sun! It's a straightforward solution that is simple to implement, as long as you have enough storage space ...
... for fabrics away from the sun and don't forget.

Consider purchasing a storage box if you don't have the room to store them away from the sun. After using your cushions, place them in something like an outdoor ottoman to keep them out of sight until you need them again. Prevention is the best cure!

Invest in fabric protection

If you'd rather not store your fabrics or need to be exposed, there are other options such as Microseal Fabric Protection, aka Scotchgard furniture protection. This product helps prevent sun damage to your fabrics, preventing them from losing their colour or becoming stiff. If you have fabric that might be damaged by water, Scotchgard helps repel liquids as well. This helps with the outdoor elements of weathering fabrics due to rain and snow, or just water from sprinklers or kids.
Microseal Fabric Protection for furniture is like the Scotchgard spray but penetrates fabric and leather at a molecular level while maintaining the appearance and texture of the fibre. It works by creating a molecular shield around all the fibres in the fabric, preventing penetration from UV rays, spills, stains, fading, static, wear and abrasion without needing to be reapplied! This is far more advanced than a simple stain protector for the couch.

To show our confidence in the unrivalled quality and advantages you'll receive when utilizing MicroSeal on your textiles and furniture, Pressure & Steam provides a lifetime service warranty with each MicroSeal application. There is no 'small print' to void the warranty. If you have any questions, please contact us through our website or by calling 02 8007 7205.

By following these tips, you are sure to make the most of your outdoor fabric furniture this summer!
