Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

Once it is time to do some outdoor relaxing, you’ll want to make sure that all of your patio furniture is up to par. Breaking out the patio furniture is one of our favorite activities of the year but what happens when these items are not properly maintained? In most instances, patio furniture is made of metal, which can make it hard to keep free of unwanted rust when it is sitting in the shed.

So what do we do? No one wants to spend those hot summer nights on a chair that is filled with rust. And you would be forgiven if you believed that there was no way to restore this furniture to the glory that it deserves. We are always taught to think that rust means the end of our furniture. Fortunately for you, this is the furthest thing from the truth.
