Cleaning garden furniture

[steveindenmark]

Our very old wooden garden furniture needs an overhaul. I have sanded it in the past and thats a real chore.

I saw a clip on FB recently, where a guy used white pickling vinegar. I thought I would give it a go with a nail brush.

It was much quicker and easier than sanding and came up really well. It was a pleasant suprise.

What should I now use to protect it?

HP Sauce.

 

[tyred]

Linseed oil or teak oil.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

Owatrol oil for weathered wood. Excellent stuff.

I'd jetwash, then the vinegar-tits treatment, then rinse, dry and then Owatrol stuff. I've personally not used it but read good reviews. Or some Rustins Teak Oil. As they are chairs you need something that will dry, else you'll have stripes on yer bum.

Danish oil.

Old engine oil is good for treating wood

I do not have a jeg washer, but I gave them a good scrub down with water. I do not think I can get Awatrol in Denmark. Which is just as well because you need a mortgage to buy it. It needs to be good at that price. 😁

Any exterior OSMO oil, their products are excellent but not cheap. I would probably go for their natural oil wood stain in oak.
