    Storage Tips for Folding Chairs

    • Store extra folding chairs in your garage using one or all of a number of tips. Stack the chairs on a platform specially made for storing items in the garage. The platform can then be pulled up with its rope and pulley system, leaving the garage floor clear. Never stack more than eight chairs high. Screw bicycle hooks into the wall or ceiling of a garage to hold a few chairs apiece. Take care not to overload the hooks, especially if they're screwed into drywall panels. Lay folding chairs on a rolling cart or creeper, which is made for working under vehicles but is also used to store stacks of chairs under work benches in the garage. Use bungee cords to secure the chairs to the platform. Attach a rope to one end of the creeper, and you can pull the chairs where you need them.

    Safety Tips for Folding Chairs

    • Use folding chairs with caution. Never stand on a folding chair, and refrain from tipping back. Watch small children carefully around these collapsible chairs. Watch their fingers around the retractable brackets, and do not leave small children unattended on a folding chair; they can slip through the back or stand up and the chair can fold on top of them.

    Cleaning Tips for Folding Chairs

    • Clean plastic folding chairs with a mild soap and brush to remove any food stains or spots from last season's use. Abrasive cleaners are typically not recommended for use. Sand metal chairs with a fine-grade sandpaper to remove rust spots and scratches. Use a rust-preventive spray paint and a high gloss enamel paint to give a metal folding chair a brand new look.

    Customizing Tips for Folding Chairs

    • Add a decorative covering to your folding chairs to help them blend in with your current decor when entertaining. Use chair covers to pull a wedding or themed party together. By using fabric, ribbons and minimal sewing skills, you can create custom-made chair covers. Purchase a slipcover pattern and your desired fabric and notions. Plain premade folding chair slipcovers are also available. You can then decorate with fabric paints, tie extra ribbons on or use fabric glue to affix pieces of colored fabric.
