cleaning plastic patio furniture
Plastic patio furniture is the easiest to deal with. With all patio furniture, you’ll want to give it a thorough spring cleaning before you set it out for the season, but after that, just monitor it for soiling and clean it as it becomes dirty. It shouldn’t require regular cleaning sessions.
To clean your white plastic furniture, use your dishwasher soap! It has bleach in it, so it will keep your white furniture sparkling. Dilute three tablespoons in a gallon of warm water, and rub down the furniture with a nylon dish scrubber. Make sure to take precautions against the bleach in your clothing, and also your grass and plants. Bleach can kill them!
To clean colored plastic furniture, use an all-purpose cleaner or liquid dish soap without bleach, and use the same method as above. Make sure to rinse all colored furniture well with your hose before letting it dry, as the soap residue can fade the colors. With any plastic furniture, make sure to turn it upside down after rinsing and let it dry that way. Even clean water can pool on the seat and, when dry, leave a film that can rub off on your clothes.
