Adirondack Chair Care: Keep Honey Finish Looking New

Quick answer

To keep your KidKraft Adirondack Chair with the honey finish looking new, clean it regularly with mild soap and water, apply a weather-resistant sealant annually, and store it indoors during harsh weather.

Diagnosis: Is your Adirondack chair finish failing?

• Symptom: The honey finish looks dull, has water spots, or shows light gray patches.
• Likely cause: UV exposure, rain, and pollen buildup have worn down the original sealant. The wood itself is still sound.
• Corrective action: Clean the chair with a soft brush and mild soap. Once dry, apply a clear outdoor wood sealant or UV-protective finish. Two thin coats work better than one thick coat. Allow 24 hours dry time between coats. Avoid sealing in direct sunlight.
• When to stop or choose another option: If the wood has deep cracks, splinters, or the finish is peeling in large sheets, skip sealing. Sand the chair down to bare wood and apply a full stain or paint instead. If the wood is damaged, sealing alone won't fix it. Consider refinishing or replacing the chair.
