What Can I Clean Outdoor Furniture With?

Outdoor furniture can be a great addition to any patio, balcony, or garden – providing a comfortable spot to relax and admire the scenery. But with exposure to harsh elements like rain, wind, and sun, outdoor furniture can quickly become dirty and faded.

To keep outdoor furniture looking great, it’s important to clean it regularly.

There are many ways to clean outdoor furniture depending on the type of material it is made from. Wooden furniture should be cleaned with a mild detergent mixed with warm water.

Make sure to use a soft cloth or sponge so you don’t damage the wood. Once you’ve wiped down the surface of the wood with your cleaning solution, rinse the area off with fresh water and allow it to dry completely before using it.

Metal outdoor furniture should be washed with a mixture of mild soap and water. You can use an old toothbrush or cloth to scrub away any dirt or grime that may have built up on the metal surface. Rinse off any remaining cleaning solution with a hose or bucket of water and then allow the metal piece to dry completely before using it.

If your outdoor furniture is made of plastic or resin, you can clean it by wiping down the surface with a damp cloth. If the plastic has become heavily soiled, you can mix equal parts warm water and white vinegar in a bucket and use this solution for cleaning. Rinse off any remaining cleaner with fresh water and then let the piece air dry before using again.

Conclusion:

Keeping your outdoor furniture clean is essential for maintaining its appearance and ensuring that it lasts for years to come. Depending on what material your outdoor furniture is made from, you can choose an appropriate cleaning method such as mild detergent and warm water for wood pieces; equal parts warm water and white vinegar for plastic pieces; or mild soap and water for metal pieces. With regular cleaning, your outdoor furniture will stay looking great season after season.
