How to take care of your Outdoors: tips for long-lasting beauty
Designing your outdoor space is a wonderful way to extend your home into nature, and at Zoco Home, we believe those areas deserve just as much attention and love as your indoor spaces. Whether you've just added a few new pieces from our outdoor collection or you're getting ready to refresh your patio for the season, taking proper care of your teak wood furniture is key to keeping everything looking beautiful for years to come.
We’ve put together some simple, effective tips to help you take care of your Zoco Home pieces, with a focus on our teak wood items and how to use our specially designed care kit.
1. Use our care kit for teak wood maintenance
Our Zoco Home Care Kit for natural teak wood is one of the best ways to keep your furniture looking its best. All of our Zoco Home teak wood products are smooth sanded and come with a stain prevention treatment that can last up to five years, depending on usage. Over time, however, signs of wear can appear. The best indicator that your wood needs treatment is when stains no longer come off with regular cleaning.
This is where the care kit comes in. It allows you to restore your furniture’s finish and protection, making it look like new again. It's easy to use and specifically made for our outdoor pieces, ensuring a longer lifespan and continued beauty. Click here to see the instructions!
2. Protect furniture with covers
One of the simplest and most effective things you can do to care for your outdoor furniture is to protect it with a quality cover. When not in use, especially during the off-season or in extreme weather, covering your furniture can prevent unnecessary wear and exposure.
If you own a piece from the Zoco Home outdoor collection, get in touch with us to find a personalised cover or storage solution that suits your needs. We're here to help you care for your investment in the best way possible.
3. Always check the product disclaimers
Each item in our outdoor collection is crafted with durability in mind, but different materials require different levels of care. Always take a moment to review the product disclaimer included with your furniture. These notes will provide important information about material sensitivity, weather resistance, and cleaning tips specific to your piece.
Being informed about how to treat each item ensures you get the most out of your Zoco Home furniture season after season.
4. Clean regularly with mild products
Outdoor spaces are exposed to a range of elements—from dust to rain to pollen. Regularly wiping down your furniture with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap can go a long way in preventing build-up and staining. Be sure to dry thoroughly after cleaning to avoid moisture damage.
This is particularly important for natural teak wood, which can age beautifully when cared for properly. A gentle routine will keep the wood’s finish and texture intact.
5. Rotate and reposition your furniture
Exposure to sunlight and shade can vary across your outdoor area, and prolonged sun exposure in one spot may cause uneven fading or wear. Every now and then, try rotating or repositioning your furniture to ensure more balanced exposure and prolong its life.
Caring for your outdoor space doesn't have to be complicated—it just takes a little consistency and the right tools. With a bit of effort, your Zoco Home pieces will continue to bring style and comfort to your home for many years to come.
