Step 1
Check campaign equipment thoroughly
The first step in taking care of your camping furniture is to check it regularly. This is especially important before or after long periods of storage. In particular, it is important to look for and to remove rust as soon as you spot it, to prevent it spreading.
Step 2
Clean the furniture
Both plastic and metal furniture can be cleaned with water and an all-purpose cleaner. Wooden camping furniture should only be cleaned by moistening it slightly. Regular oiling or painting can extend its life.
Step 3

To tackle and remove rust from camping furniture, you will need a can of WD-40 Multi Use Product, a wire brush and some sandpaper.

If the rust is not coming off easily, you can also use sandpaper. Repeat as often as necessary.
Step 4
Lubricate hinges
It may also be necessary to clean and lubricate the hinges on tables and chairs. A lot of camping furniture is foldable or collapsible. To keep it working smoothly, it helps to use WD-40 Multi-Use Product. It displaces moisture, penetrates seized parts and protects against corrosion and rust
To keep everything folding and unfolding smoothly for longer, all you need to do is spray WD-40® Multi-Use Product onto the folding joint. Leave it for a few minutes to penetrate. Then fold and unfold the item a few times to work the product into the joints. This will allow the products to lubricate the materials, helping to keep everything moving smoothly.
Carefree camping
Cleaning and protecting your equipment with a lubricant such as WD-40 will significantly extend the working life. From removing rust from pots and pans to cleaning rust from the stove burner, WD-40 forms a protective coat from unwanted residue and elements, ensuring they last longer.
