You might like to dance happily in the rain but one concern that still hinders this time of enjoyment is the worry about, what might be happening with metal furniture and precisely metal chairs placed in the garden.

Metal chairs though close to our hearts with the beautiful bright colours and prominent presence are prone to get rusted. As soon as the uncovered part of the metal chairs come in contact with the rain, these chairs start rusting, or the colour of the metal chair fades.

This will not only decrease the beauty of the furniture but will also make the entire outdoor look old. Instead of tossing these beauties out from your home, let us regain the lost charm with some sharp and quick ways to preserve the rustic charm of this fantastic unit.

Paints, creative patterns on the metal chair and by using some other decorative items you can spruce up the garden instantly.

No matter what furniture we are talking about, cleaning them is the most important thing that has to be brought into the daily routine. This will keep it healthy and also keep their beauty intact. And, the same follows with the gorgeous metal chairs. Follow these steps to keep it clean.

Cleaning Tip 1  Take a bucket of lukewarm water and put some soapy dish liquid to make a mixture.  Take an old rag and start cleaning the metal chairs and other furniture units in the garden.  This will remove the dirt on the surface of the metal chair. Cleaning Tip 2  Take a hose pipe and merely rinse the entire metal chair.  This will help you remove the hard dirt.

After cleaning makes sure you clean it with a dry cloth to make it completely dry before painting.

2. Let’s find out how to remove the stubborn rust:

It is crucial that before proceeding further, the rust is entirely dusted off from the metal chair.

For this purpose, we have wire brushes and sandpapers. So, use a wire brush and brush off the rusty layer off from the metal chair. Or you can use sandpaper to smoothening the rough spots. Ensure that you have a loose hand while doing this as any extra pressure can damage the metal surface, and you might end up scratching it.

3. And, it’s time to paint:

Few things to keep in mind while doing it:

Prime the entire metal chair, this will form a smooth layer that will help you get the paint spread evenly on the surface. Priming also helps to stop further rusting.

Let's get back to painting. Start by spraying your favourite colour after the prime layer dries up. Ensure that the spray bottle you are painting with is 12 inches away from the chair, so you get an even paint.

Or, if you are using paintbrush then make sure you paint in one direction, i.e., if you are painting the metal chair from top to bottom, then you have to go top to bottom on the entire surface. For a total coverage paint light coats, this will help you sweep fuller surface at a single time.

4. Get your inner creativity out:

Splash the colours as you want then you can paint patterns on the metal chair with a different colour. You can draw patterns such as leaves, flowers, stars and other attractive and fun designs; this will light up your garden area.
