Keep Your Veranda Lovely All Year Round
Posted on 16th July 2024 at 15:50
It’s easy to write about a beautiful summer spent on the veranda right now. There’s sun beating through the window, and we are wearing our Hawaiian shirts. However, once Autumn has waned and winter comes in, we spend less time in our rocking chairs looking at the horizon. Of course, when the warm weather comes back around, we love to spend time back out there.
Obviously, what you want is to maintain it all year round ready for next Spring again. Here’s how to keep it all maintained:
Spring Cleaning Your Veranda
When the spring sun comes out again, the weather is usually perfect for you to be able to give your veranda a deep clean. Here are some things to consider:
Clear away debris: Remove any leaves, twigs, or other debris that has accumulated over winter.
Wash the furniture: Give your outdoor furniture a good scrub with warm soapy water. For metal furniture, consider using a metal cleaner.
Clean the floor: Sweep away dirt and grime, and then use a suitable outdoor cleaner to remove any stains.
Check for damage: Look for any signs of wear and tear, such as cracks in the floor or loose railings.
Summer Veranda Care
Just because Summer is finally here, it doesn’t mean the cleaning and maintenance stops. At some pointed you need to get up from the chequered blanket and do some basic cleaning. Here’s what you should do:
Protect furniture: Use outdoor furniture covers to shield your furniture from rain showers and harmful UV rays.
Maintain plants: Keep your veranda plants healthy by watering regularly and feeding them with appropriate fertilisers.
Clean regularly: With increased use, your veranda will get dirtier faster. Regular sweeping and mopping will help keep it looking its best.
Prevent stains: Act quickly to remove any spills or stains to prevent them from setting.
Autumnal Veranda Maintenance
A lot of the time, autumn gives us some amazing weather. It is slightly cooler and more bearable. But it still needs to be maintained and cleaned. Here are some great tips for keeping your veranda clean:
Clear away leaves: Regularly remove fallen leaves to prevent them from blocking gutters and causing damp.
Protect furniture: Store outdoor cushions indoors or use waterproof covers.
Clean gutters: Ensure your veranda's gutters are clear to prevent water damage.
Check for damage: Inspect your veranda for any damage caused by autumn storms.
Winter Veranda Protection
Winter can be tough on your veranda, but with a little care, it will survive.
Protect furniture: Store outdoor furniture indoors or use heavy-duty covers.
Prevent ice build-up: Regularly clear snow and ice to prevent damage to the floor and railings.
Check for leaks: Look for any signs of water damage, such as damp patches or mould.
By following these simple tips, you can enjoy your veranda all year round without worrying about its condition. With a little effort, your outdoor space will remain a beautiful and inviting place to relax.
