How to Use Osmo Products in Spring to Get Your Garden Furniture Ready for Summer
As the days get warmer and the garden becomes the perfect place to relax, it’s time to restore and protect your wooden garden furniture and decking after months of exposure to winter weather. Spring is the ideal time to clean, treat, and nourish your outdoor wood, ensuring it looks its best and is well-protected for summer gatherings.
Using Osmo Garden Furniture Oil and Osmo Decking Oil, you can give your outdoor wood the care it needs, preventing damage from moisture, UV exposure, and everyday use.
Step 1: Inspect and Clean Your Garden Furniture and Decking
Winter can take its toll on wooden surfaces, causing dirt buildup, greying, and minor damage. Before applying any treatment, thoroughly clean your furniture and decking.
Cleaning Process:
✅ Brush off debris – Use a stiff-bristle brush to remove dust, dirt, and leaves.
✅ Wash with a mild wood cleaner – A solution of warm water and gentle soap or a specialist wood cleaner will lift grime and stains.
✅ Rinse and allow to dry – Ensure wood is fully dry before applying Osmo treatments.
Regular cleaning prevents dirt from becoming ingrained and allows Osmo products to penetrate the wood effectively.
Step 2: Restoring and Protecting Garden Furniture with Osmo Garden Furniture Oil
Over time, wooden garden furniture can lose its natural oils, leading to a dull and weathered appearance. Osmo Garden Furniture Oil restores rich colour, water resistance, and UV protection, keeping furniture in excellent condition.
How to Apply:
✔ Ensure wood is dry and clean.
✔ Stir the oil well before use to mix the natural ingredients.
✔ Apply a thin, even coat using a brush or lint-free cloth, following the grain.
✔ Allow 30 minutes for absorption, then wipe off excess oil with a cloth.
✔ Let dry for 8-12 hours in a well-ventilated space before applying a second coat if needed.
This process revives dull furniture, protects against moisture, and helps prevent cracking or greying, ensuring your outdoor seating and tables are summer-ready.
Step 3: Refresh and Strengthen Decking with Osmo Decking Oil
Decking is exposed to constant foot traffic, weather changes, and UV rays, making it essential to treat it before summer. Osmo Decking Oil deeply penetrates the wood, preventing splitting, swelling, and fading.
How to Apply:
✔ Clean and dry decking thoroughly before application.
✔ Use a wide brush or roller to apply a thin, even coat, working along the wood grain.
✔ Allow the oil to absorb for 30 minutes, then remove any excess with a cloth.
✔ Leave to dry for 12 hours before applying a second coat for added protection.
Osmo Decking Oil protects against water absorption, algae growth, and UV fading, keeping your decking strong and maintaining its natural beauty throughout summer.
Step 4: Ongoing Maintenance for Long-Lasting Protection
To keep your garden furniture and decking in top condition, follow these simple maintenance tips:
🔹 Regularly brush off dirt and debris to prevent buildup.
🔹 Wipe away spills quickly to avoid staining.
🔹 Reapply Osmo Garden Furniture Oil and Decking Oil when surfaces start looking dry or faded.
🔹 Use breathable covers for furniture when not in use to reduce exposure to harsh weather.
By applying Osmo treatments in spring, you can enjoy a well-maintained outdoor space throughout summer, avoiding the need for last-minute repairs.
