I have a small outdoor furniture set that I would like to restore and protect.
The timber seems to have mould?
Can you please tell me how to restore it?
Hi @snichols,
It looks like your outdoor furniture might have mould or mildew, but it's also possible that the timber has simply darkened or greyed, which is often the first sign of decay. I’ve had great success using Feast Watson Wood Prep in situations like this—it’s one of the most impressive timber restoration products I've used, and I highly recommend giving it a try. It should work wonders for your tabletop and is likely effective on the chair armrests as long as they don’t have varnish on them. Just be sure to cover the fabric on the chairs as you clean to avoid any of the mixture bleaching it.
Once you apply the cleaner, you’ll likely see the timber brighten up significantly. Be sure to scrub the surface well with a stiff bristle brush. And don’t forget to wear your PPE, including safety glasses, a face mask, rubber gloves, an old long-sleeved shirt, trousers, and enclosed footwear.
After rinsing off the cleaner, allow the timber to dry. Once dry, if the timber is rough at all, give it a light sanding with 240-grit to smooth it. You’ll then be ready to oil your table and chairs to help protect the timber going forward.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Mitchell
