Hello,Something freaky is happening to my patio furniture. My building is undergoing pressure washing on the outside, so I brought the chairs inside over the day. They are made of a brownish metal (iron?) and a sort of mesh. So they have spent the day indoors, and I was just taking them outside again, when they started bleeding a bright reddish orange fluid. What can this be? Can rust appear in liquid form?!
Hi, If they are wrought iron, the metal legs are hollow it sounds like water got in there rust is washing out from the inside.
this happens to mine also. Ticks me off. The furniture has small holes here and there so I thought rain was getting in. I plugged the holes with silicone calk. Then other holes formed, like rusting through. Chairs are only a year old. Someone explained to me that condensation builds up inside the hollow metal from them getting cooler at night and then warming up in the sun during the day. It's a no win situation. I also hated the little holes because wasps would get in. Won't be buying that kind of furniture ever again.
I just had the same thing happen to me with some patio chairs I moved the other day. Basically water get inside the tubing of the frame of the chair and over time surface rust forms and mixes with the water at the bottom. Thats where you get the red-orange fluid from. Rust doesn't have a liquid form but it can mix in with water when agitated with water.
This possibly be the rust.. you should go for the quality furniture that gives the guarantee of the furniture..there are many websites available online from where you can buy the patio, garden furniture and other sofas at an affordable prices.. .. check the link below for more details..
Yes, I believe rust can be in such small particles, suspended within water, that the water does look orange. Probably the internal areas of the metal structure have gotten wet and are now draining out. Use rust remover to get it off carpets, etc. Test an area, first.
