How Do You Restore Outdoor Vinyl Furniture?

Outdoors vinyl furniture is an excellent choice for your patio, deck, or other outdoor space — it’s durable and looks great. But over time, it can become dull and faded from the elements. Fortunately, you can restore outdoor vinyl furniture to its original luster with a few simple steps.

Clean the Vinyl

Before you start any restoration process, you need to make sure the vinyl is clean. Use a mild soap and water solution to wash away any dirt or debris that has accumulated on the furniture’s surface. A soft cloth or sponge should be used to scrub away any stubborn stains or mildew spots.

Repair Any Damage

Once the vinyl is clean, take a look at it for any damage that needs repair. If there are tears or rips in the material, use a patching kit designed specifically for vinyl furniture to mend them. Once all the repairs have been made, allow 24 hours for the glue or adhesive used in the patching process to dry completely.

Now it’s time to apply a cleaner/protectant product specifically designed for restoring outdoor vinyl furniture. Following directions on product label carefully, apply a light coat of product over entire surface of furniture using either soft cloth or brush.

Let Dry and Enjoy!


Allow cleaner/protectant solution to dry completely before using your newly restored outdoor vinyl furniture again. Enjoy your “like new” patio set!

Conclusion:

Restoring outdoor vinyl furniture is an easy process that involves cleaning and repairing damage if needed before applying a cleaner/protectant solution designed specifically for this type of material. Following these steps will help you keep your patio set looking like new for many years.
