Why is my outdoor furniture rusting?
Outdoor furniture rusts due to moisture. Rust is formed when furniture is exposed to moisture and rain. It is important that you follow the care instructions that come with your product to increase the lifetime of your outdoor furniture.
Rust is a result of a chemical reaction between iron, oxygen, and water. This occurs when the products are exposed to moisture and rain. By using furniture covers and following the care instructions, you will be able to use your outdoor furniture for many years to come. The care instructions come with the product but can also be found on IKEAs website. Search and click on the product and scroll down to product information to find the care instructions as well as other useful information.
