Cleaning Outdoor Furniture


Cleaning Outdoor Furniture

Outdoor furniture generally pleads for cleaning at the first sign of spring. Remember always test an inconspicuous spot before using a new cleaner.

Mix a bucket (make sure the bucket is clean) with liquid dish soap, some Borax and ˝ cup hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water. Saturate the furniture thoroughly and allow to set 15 minutes. Scrub with a nylon scrub brush and rinse. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for cleaning. Some fabrics will not tolerate peroxide.

If any of the metal has rusted, first try using a rust remover found in automotive stores. If the rust refuses to budge, use a #800 ery and dry sand paper to sand the metal and repaint.
