How Do You Clean Outdoor Metal Furniture?

Outdoor metal furniture is built to last, but it needs regular maintenance and cleaning to keep it in top shape. Dirt, pollen and other debris can quickly accumulate on outdoor metal furniture, making it look dull and dingy. Fortunately, with the right supplies and techniques, you can easily clean your outdoor metal furniture so that it looks like new again.

Cleaning Supplies

To clean outdoor metal furniture, you’ll need a few basic supplies. Gather a bucket of warm water, mild dish soap, a soft cloth or sponge, an old toothbrush or scrub brush for tough spots, and some baking soda.

Preparing the Furniture

Before you start cleaning your outdoor metal furniture, make sure to wipe away any loose dirt or debris with a damp cloth. This will make the cleaning process much easier.

Cleaning the Furniture

Once your outdoor metal furniture is prepped for cleaning, fill your bucket with warm water and add a squirt of mild dish soap. Dip your cloth or sponge into the soapy water and wring out excess moisture.

Gently scrub the surface of your furniture with the cloth in circular motions. Use an old toothbrush or scrub brush to get into any nooks and crannies where dirt may have accumulated. If there are any stains that won’t come off with soapy water alone, you can make a paste of baking soda and water to help loosen them up.

Rinsing & Drying

Once all of the dirt has been removed from your outdoor metal furniture, rinse it off with clean water to remove any remaining soap residue. Use a clean cloth to dry off the surface of your furniture before putting it back outside.
