Dot + Pop's tips to refreshing your outdoor timber furniture

Get your outdoor timber furniture looking like new again

Summer has arrived - which means that it's time to dust off and refresh your outdoor furniture ready to enjoy again! Our outdoor furniture lives outside and over winter it has developed some mould and stains on the surface of the timber that gets most of the direct weather. To breathe new life back into the furniture I used Feast Watson Woodclean and Outdoor Furniture Oil in Clear.

Woodclean is a powerful, oxalic acid-based formula that helps remove oils, mould, stains and tannins from new and weathered timber to create a clean slate for your restoration journey.

Outdoor Furniture Oil is made to protect your outdoor furniture against all that nature has to throw at it. Its protective, penetrating formula with added eucalyptus oil is the best defence against the elements.

Protecting with Outdoor Furniture Oil

7. Make sure your Outdoor Furniture Oil is thoroughly stirred both before and during application, to ensure a uniform colour. (If you require more than one can, mix them together in one large container before starting work.)

8. Using a quality brush, apply your first coat. Work in sections, in the direction of the grain. Remember to ensure your edges and end grain are fully coated! If you are using a spray, remember to back brush to ensure even penetration.

9. Go make yourself a coffee and allow the oil to penetrate.

10. Once you have had your coffee, remove any excess oil with a brush or clean cloth.

11. Leave to dry for 12 hours before the second coat.
