Whether they feature a classic or contemporary design, they can easily blend in with your existing d\u00e9cor. What\u2019s more, most exotic wood outdoor tables are quite heavy, so there\u2019s no risk of them flying away in strong winds or storms.<\/p>\n<p>However, you may be wondering how to maintain an outdoor wood table and if they\u2019re easy to clean. Nothing could be simpler! Here\u2019s how to go about it.<\/p>\n<h2>How to maintain an outdoor wood table<\/h2>\n<p>During the spring or early summer, you\u2019ll need to clean your outdoor wood table and other patio furniture to ensure that everything\u2019s in tip-top condition and ready for use.<\/p>\n<h3>Just follow these simple steps:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Wipe the furniture down with a cloth to get rid of any superficial dust.<\/li>\n<li>Scrub everything with a hard-bristle brush, using warm water and a mild soap like Marseille soap or black soap.<\/li>\n<li>Brush all surfaces, paying special attention to the nooks and crannies. If necessary, you can use a toothbrush for hard-to-reach areas.<\/li>\n<li>Rinse everything thoroughly.<\/li>\n<li>Let the furniture dry completely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>During the warm season, to prevent dirt, dust and grime from becoming embedded in your outdoor wood table, you can wipe it down once a week with a soft damp cloth or even clean it with soap and water from time to time.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4760\" style=\"width: 218px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4760\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-4760\" src=\"https:\/\/jmlinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/entretien-meuble-bois-apres-208x240.jpg\" alt=\"Outdoor wood table - Before cleaning\" width=\"208\" height=\"240\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4760\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Outdoor wood table &#8211; Before cleaning<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_4762\" style=\"width: 218px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4762\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-4762\" src=\"https:\/\/jmlinc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/entretien-meuble-bois-avant-208x240.jpg\" alt=\"Outdoor wood table - After cleaning\" width=\"208\" height=\"240\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4762\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Outdoor wood table &#8211; After cleaning<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Over the years, exotic woods naturally take on a greyish tinge as a result of UV radiation and pollution. This discoloration is completely normal and won\u2019t diminish the quality or integrity of your garden furniture. You basically have two choices in this regard:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you like the silvery-grey patina, which is often sought by decorators because it lends a certain style to outdoor wood tables and decks, you can simply wipe the table down with a cloth or a little soapy water every so often.<\/li>\n<li>If you prefer for your outdoor wood furnishings to maintain their natural tint, once or twice a year, you\u2019ll need to apply a layer of penetrating oil finish, teak oil or some other product specially designed to protect exotic woods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What kind of wood should you choose?<\/h2>\n<p>You have a full range of different woods to choose from, but your best bet is to opt for <a href=\"https:\/\/jmlinc.com\/en\/outdoor-products\/wood-furniture\/\">patio furniture made from premium exotic woods like teak<\/a> (which is the most popular wood for use in garden furniture) and Ipe (also called Brazilian walnut or ironwood). These types of wood require very little maintenance. In fact, exotic woods are naturally very resistant to harsh weather conditions, impacts, insects, rot, fungus, mold and mildew. They won\u2019t rust when in contact with metal, won\u2019t dry out and won\u2019t crack. They\u2019re also known for being extremely durable, as long as they\u2019re properly cleaned and maintained.<\/p>\n<p>Do you need any additional advice on how to maintain your outdoor wood table?
