Outdoor sofas and outdoor loveseats are a homely addition to a patio or deck and provide ample space for guests. At Canadian Tire we offer a wide selection, from patio couches to recycled plastic patio loveseats, that can fit right in with your outdoor furniture and decor.
Can you put a couch on a patio?
Indoor couches are not suitable for use on a patio, as the materials they are made with cannot withstand potential heavy rains and snowfalls nor the outdoors in general. Outdoor sofas like patio sofas or patio loveseats provide the comfort and functionality of an indoor couch but are made with materials with weather-resistant qualities. Consider the variety of materials that can be used for the frame of an outdoor sofa and their advantages. For example, synthetics are low-maintenance and cost-effective, but you can also opt for treated wood as a rustic and eco-friendly alternative.
How do you clean outdoor patio sofas and loveseats?
Cleaning your outdoor patio sofa regularly is important to maintain longevity and keep up its appearance. Clean your patio sofa using the following steps with general cleaning equipment.
1. Begin by removing all cushions from the sofa and brushing away any loose debris.
2. Gently clean the frame of the patio couch, sofa, or loveseat with gentle soap and warm water
3. Use a garden hose to gently rinse off any cleaning solution
4. Allow your outdoor sofa to air dry in the shade
To clean outdoor fabrics, simply remove outdoor cushion covers and run them through the washing machine once or twice every season. Always air dry your outdoor fabrics in order not to damage the fibres.
How do you protect outdoor patio sofas and loveseats?
To reduce cleaning frequency and keep your patio loveseats and patio sofas safe from rain, snow, and sun, you can purchase a patio furniture cover. These outdoor furniture covers repel water and protect against dirt, mould, and everything in between. They can also stop your outdoor sofa frames from warping or breaking under extreme heat or cold. Ideally, you should look for cover with a custom-like fit and ties or grommets and ropes to keep it secure.
