With the change in weather and the increase in fall activities, people spend less time outside. It’s a perfect time to clean up your patio and pack it up. You can organize your patio and store some of your favorite outdoor items for the season in your outdoor patio storage.
Sort Things First
Despite the temptation to simply pile everything up somewhere and be done with it, it’s actually a good idea to sort through everything first. Don’t waste your outdoor patio storage space by storing items that are faded or broken beyond repair.
Make a List of Things That You Need
If you still need to get anything for next spring, make a list so you don’t have to go through it all again. When the warm weather returns, you’ll have more time to relax and enjoy the good times.
Planning for Storage
Bring your gardening tools and outdoor decorations together. Store them safely in the patio storage. Start thinking about where you will keep your larger items, such as cushions and furniture.
Look for Stains on Pillows and Cushions
Take a look at your outdoor cushions before storing them. You should clean outdoor cushions and pillows before storing them. Remove dust that can set into stains and dirt that may harbor mold spores.
You can wash removable fabric covers in a washing machine with cold water. Set the dryer to delicate/wet settings to prevent shrinkage. Be sure to thoroughly dry everything outdoors or indoors before storing.
