Restoring your garden furniture shouldn't harm the environment. Discover our commitment to sustainable practices and chemical-free solutions.
Every project passes through the same set of simple, transparent rules that keep our footprint as small as possible.
We begin by evaluating which parts of your furniture can be safely reused or repaired instead of replaced, reducing the demand for new raw materials.
Our sanding, drying, and curing processes are optimized to minimize electricity use while still delivering a durable, professional finish.
Any unavoidable waste is sorted and directed to recycling and certified disposal partners, keeping hazardous materials out of soil and water.
Every decision we make prioritizes the health of our planet, your family, and your outdoor spaces.
Repairing furniture instead of replacing it keeps tons of material out of landfills each year. We salvage and repurpose components whenever possible, giving old furniture a new lease on life. Every piece we restore is one less piece contributing to environmental waste.
We exclusively use water-based stains, sealers, and finishes that contain no harsh solvents or volatile organic compounds. These products provide excellent protection while being safe for your family, pets, and the local ecosystem.
Our cleaning solutions break down naturally without leaving toxic residues. We avoid phosphates, chlorine bleach, and synthetic fragrances, opting instead for plant-based formulas that are gentle on materials and the environment.
Transparency is important to us. Here's exactly how we minimize environmental impact at every stage.
Our workshop uses advanced dust collection systems that capture 99% of wood particles and debris, preventing air pollution. All collected material is composted or donated to local gardens for mulch, creating a zero-waste sanding process.
We apply all protective coatings in a controlled environment using low-emission techniques. Our HVLP spray systems minimize overspray and waste while ensuring even coverage. Any excess materials are properly recycled or disposed of through certified programs.
When delivering restored furniture, we use reusable blankets and straps instead of disposable plastic wrap. Customers can return protective materials for reuse, or we provide recycled paper padding that can be composted at home.

Simple practices you can adopt to care for your furniture sustainably between professional services.
Mix equal parts white vinegar and water for a safe, effective cleaner that removes dirt and mildew from most surfaces. For tougher stains, add a tablespoon of baking soda. This solution costs pennies and leaves no harmful residue on your furniture or in your garden runoff.
Invest in quality, breathable furniture covers made from recycled materials. Proper protection extends furniture life by years, reducing the need for frequent repairs and refinishing. During off-season months, store cushions indoors to prevent unnecessary wear and moisture damage.
Apply a thin coat of eco-friendly wood oil or sealer annually to protect against weather damage. Clean furniture monthly with gentle, biodegradable soap to prevent buildup. Regular care means less intensive restoration work is needed over time.
Choose repair over replacement. Partner with customaustudio for environmentally responsible furniture care that makes a real difference.
