What Cleans Plastic Outdoor Furniture?

When it comes to outdoor furniture, plastic is a popular choice due to its low cost and durability. However, plastic can become discolored and stained if not properly maintained.

Therefore, it is important to know how to clean plastic outdoor furniture in order to keep it looking like new.

The first step in cleaning plastic outdoor furniture is to remove any dirt and debris by brushing off any loose material with a soft bristled brush. Then, you should use a mild soap or detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth or sponge to clean the surface of the furniture. Be sure to rinse thoroughly after washing so that no residue is left behind.

If the plastic furniture has some staining or discoloration, you may need to use a more powerful cleaner such as a commercial all-purpose cleaner or bleach solution. Before applying any of these harsher chemicals, be sure to test them on an inconspicuous area of the furniture first. If the color of the plastic changes after testing, do not use that particular cleaner.

Once you have finished cleaning the plastic outdoor furniture, you should apply some sort of protective coating such as car wax or silicone spray in order to help protect it from UV rays and other environmental elements. This will also help prevent future stains from forming on the surface.

Conclusion:

Cleaning plastic outdoor furniture can be simple if done correctly. First, start by brushing off any dirt and debris before using a mild soap or detergent mixed with water and a soft cloth or sponge for general cleaning purposes.

If staining or discoloration needs to be removed, use a more powerful cleaner such as an all-purpose cleaner or bleach solution but always test this on an inconspicuous area first before applying it over the entire surface. Finally, apply some sort of protective coating such as car wax or silicone spray in order to help protect it from UV rays and other environmental elements while also preventing future stains from forming on the surface.
