Can You Power Wash Outdoor Furniture?

Power washing outdoor furniture is a great way to help keep it looking clean and new. It is an easy, cost effective way to make sure your outdoor furniture looks like it was just bought. Power washing can help remove dirt, mold, mildew and other debris that may have accumulated on the furniture over time.

Power washing uses high-pressure water to quickly and efficiently remove dirt and grime from the surface of your furniture. To power wash your furniture, you’ll need a pressure washer that has a minimum of 1500 psi (pounds per square inch). If you don’t own one, you can rent one from a local hardware store or home improvement store.

Before you start power washing your outdoor furniture, it’s important to read the manufacturer’s instructions for the specific type of material.

Some materials are not suitable for power washing and could be damaged if washed with high-pressure water.

When using a pressure washer, make sure to use protective gear such as safety glasses and gloves as well as keeping bystanders away. Start by spraying in short bursts at a distance of 10-12 inches away from the surface of the furniture. Move slowly around the entire piece of furniture making sure no area is missed.

After the power washing is complete, inspect your outdoor furniture carefully for any damage or areas that may have been missed while cleaning. If necessary, use a mild detergent solution on areas with stubborn dirt or stains. Allow the cleaned surfaces to dry completely before putting them back outside.

Conclusion: You can power wash outdoor furniture safely as long as you follow manufacturer’s instructions for the material(s) used in creating it and use protective gear when doing so. Doing so regularly will help keep your outdoor furniture looking clean and new for years to come!
