Once the days begin to grow a little bit longer and the num- bers on the ther- mometer creep a tad higher, outdoor enter- taining season is right around the corner. Home- owners may be anxious to once again return to the comforts of their backyards. However, their patio furniture may not be ready for lounging just yet. Some simple clean- ing strategies make it easy to brighten outdoor furniture made of metal, glass, wood, and plas- tic. Before homeowners know it, their backyards will be ready for outdoor entertaining season. Proper storage Storing outdoor fur- niture during the colder months of the year is a great way to protect items from the elements. This may involve care- ful shrink-wrapping and keeping items outdoors, or by moving furniture indoors to a shed or ga- rage. Cleaning the furni- ture one last time before storing it also can be handy. Remove stuck-on debris Inspect furniture and be prepared to remove any stuck-on debris, such as bird droppings, sticky food residue or even cobwebs and insect nests. Be sure to use a cleaning tool that is safe for the material you are cleaning. Test an incon- spicuous area of the fur- niture first to ensure your tools don't damage the furniture. For example, many scrub brushes can scratch glass or alumi- num. Make a thorough cleanser Clean stains off of furniture with a versatile cleanser. A mild cleaner can be made by mixing 1⁄2 cup baking soda with 1 gallon of warm water, according to the experts at Better Homes & Gar- dens. Regular dishwash- ing detergent also can be mixed with water, as it has a mild bleaching agent. This cleanser can be used on plastic resin furniture or metal furni- ture, which are popular patio furniture materials. Patio fabrics Check the cleaning instructions of outdoor fabrics, as there might be specific instructions on the tags. In some cases, fabric may be removed and washed in a wash- ing machine on a gentle setting. A solution of dish soap and warm water also is a gentle way to clean outdoor fabrics. Once items are clean, HGTV advises applying a water-repellent fabric protector to minimize staining and mainte- nance. Strip or sand Wood furniture may need specialized care. If stains cannot be removed with a mild cleanser, then hard woods like teak can be surface-sanded to re- store items' original look. Pressure washers can often do more harm than good to patio furni- ture, so it's best to look for an alternative way to clean them. Usually a bit of elbow grease and a cleanser is all that's needed. Give the clean- ing product time to work. Wipe down and dry the furniture thoroughly to prevent the growth of mildew. Do you still have an avo- cado green kitchen? Is your living room dank and dark? Perhaps there is only one bathroom for a family of six? Answering yes to any of these questions could serve as the catalyst for a home renovation project. Home improvement proj- ects come in all shapes and sizes — some with huge bud- gets and others that are more cost-conscious. Regardless of what homeowners hope to achieve with their renova- tions, a common goal across any price point is a desire to save as much money as pos- sible. Home renovations can be expensive, but there are ways to cut costs. • Assess the merit of the project. Remodeling maga- zine annually publishes a "Cost vs. Value Report" that lists the average cost and return on investment home- owners can expect of various types of projects. If you're planning to sell your home soon, it may be best to focus on repairs and renovations that will generate the most substantial ROI. • Hire a contractor. Even avid do-it-yourselfers can sometimes benefit from a contractor's expertise, par- ticularly for complex tasks. Don't waste money by trying tough jobs yourself; rely on an experienced contractor who can get supplies for less money and will do the job right the first time. Compare bids from sev- eral different contractors and figure out the best value. • Refurbish existing fea- tures. Rather than a complete gut and rebuild, figure out where you can revitalize ex- isting fixtures and more. For example, refinishing existing cabinets can save you up to 50 percent compared with the cost of new cabinetry, accord- ing to Angi (formerly Angie's List), a cost comparison and business review resource. • Choose midgrade mate- rials. Certain materials may be all the rage but they come with a higher price tag. Angi reports that granite counters could be $60 to $100 per square foot. However, a com- posite or laminate that looks like granite and wears well may be $10 to 40 per square foot. Figure out where you can choose middle-of-the-road materials for maximum value. • Avoid peak seasons. You'll pay more to install a deck or a pool right before the outdoor entertaining season. There also may be a premium to get work done right before a major holiday. Therefore, consult the calendar to find an off time for a renovation and book it then to save. • Do some prep work. You might be able to save by doing some of the demolition and preparatory work yourself. For example, you can tear up old carpeting before the installa- tion of new tile floors. Perhaps you can mend and patch up walls before a paint job. • Buy a display item. For- mer showroom kitchens and baths often are sourced at a fraction of their recommended retail prices, according to Real Homes, a home remodel guide based in the United Kingdom. Retailers often up- date their displays and you may score existing showroom items at a discount. Renovations can be ex- pensive, but there are many different ways to cut costs.
