Characteristics and Benefits of Ceramic
| Benefits | Details | Reasons |
|---|---|---|

From intense sunlight to cold, wet winters, ceramic is built to endure the elements. |
| Weather resistance | Ceramic stands up well to many kinds of weather, including the tough Australian climate. | Since ceramic is non-porous, rain won't penetrate its surface and will simply evaporate.

Care Instructions For Ceramic Outdoor Furniture
Regular Cleaning:
Cleaning ceramic outdoor furniture typically just requires using a soft cloth with soap and water to remove dirt and stains. A soft brush can help if any bits of dirt seem more stuck, although you should be careful not to use abrasives, as you might scratch the ceramic’s surface with a stiff brush. Avoid things like wire wool; these will damage the furniture!
Protection from Elements:
While ceramic outdoor furniture is very weather-resistant, it never hurts to protect it during extreme weather, or when not in use. After all, even the most robust surfaces do eventually lose their appearance, and although ceramic should last for many years, it’s not infinite. Covering it helps to maximise the use you’ll get from it and also helps to retain its look for as long as possible!
A waterproof UV cover will often work well, ensuring that it both stays dry and isn’t exposed to harmful rays. If you live somewhere with low temperatures, you may also want to consider frost protection, as the extreme cold could crack the ceramic. In most cases, this won’t happen, but it’s worth being aware of this potential risk if you do happen to live in a colder region. A frost cover could save you a lot of expense in the long term!
A visual guide for furniture care, highlighting four key areas: Regular Cleaning, Protection, Maintenance, and Storage.Maintenance Tips:
For basic, everyday cleaning, use a clean microfiber cloth to remove any dust or dirt from the surface. Clean your ceramic top regularly as needed, depending on the product location, environment, and usage conditions.
Keep harsh chemicals and acidic substances away from your ceramic furniture, as these could damage the surface and leave marks/stains. If you spill something acidic or abrasive on the furniture, wipe it down immediately. Wine, oil, coffee, and other staining substances should be wiped off as quickly as possible too. This is particularly important if you have a ceramic dining table, where spills are more likely. Ceramic garden tables should also have their surfaces regularly wiped to remove bird droppings, leaves and dust.
Any spills or marks can be removed by wiping the surface down with warm water and mild detergent. Make sure your cloth is clean and soft and don’t put too much soap on it. Once clean, pat the ceramic with a clean, dry towel to remove any excess water.
Avoid pressure hoses, oily soaps, waxes, or other kinds of finishes, as these could mark the ceramic and simply aren’t needed to maintain its look. Couture Jardin’s recommendations will ensure the surface remains in superb condition.

Ceramic makes an excellent option for outdoor furniture, as it combines both elegance and practicality. It has all the beauty you could want, yet it is also enormously functional and will withstand outdoor weather and heavy use extremely well.
Can ceramic outdoor furniture withstand Australian outdoor conditions?
Outdoor furniture in Australia needs to be able to manage intense heat and rain, as well as cope with temperature fluctuations. Ceramic is well positioned to do both; its non-porous nature makes it ideal for coping with the rain, while its tough surface will not fade in the sunlight the way many other materials will.
Can ceramic furniture be left outside?
Yes, ceramic outdoor furniture is ideal for outdoor use, although a protective cover and proper storage will increase its lifespan.
How do you care for ceramic outdoor furniture?
Minimal care is needed; it can be wiped down with mild soap and water and ceramic won’t stain, soak up water, or otherwise deteriorate for many years in most cases.
Is ceramic outdoor furniture heat-resistant?
This kind of furniture tends to cope well with the heat, but direct heat (e.g. a flame, candle, hot plates, etc.) should not be applied in case it marks the surface.
