No matter how careful we are, our garden furniture is almost always exposed to some level of moisture over the winter months – and, as we all learned in chemistry, iron, oxygen, and moisture react to make iron oxide. Rust needn't be an eyesore tarnishing our best outdoor furniture, and it can often be removed with homespun techniques using things you have in your kitchen cupboard.
Before getting rid of those patio chairs covered in a layer of reddish-brown rust, we would always recommend taking steps to revive them, as it saves money on a new set, reduces waste, and a little patina brings a touch of French country garden character anyway.
