How to Clean Up Metal Garden Furniture

Metal garden furniture is popular because it is durable, affordable, and relatively easy to clean. However, metal furniture can become dirty and weathered over time. Fortunately, there are a few simple steps you can take to clean and restore your metal garden furniture to its original beauty.

Gather Your Supplies

Before you start cleaning, gather the following supplies:

Soft cloths or a sponge
Mild dish soap
Water
Vinegar (for rust removal)
Baking soda (for stubborn stains)
Soft brush (for cleaning crevices)

Start Cleaning

Once you have gathered your supplies, you can begin cleaning your metal garden furniture.

1. Remove loose dirt and debris. Use a soft cloth or brush to remove any loose dirt, debris, or cobwebs from the furniture. 2. Mix a cleaning solution. Fill a bucket with warm water and add a few drops of mild dish soap. Mix the solution until the soap is dissolved. 3. Clean the furniture. Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the cleaning solution and wring out any excess water. Wipe down the furniture with the damp cloth, making sure to get into all the crevices. 4. Rinse the furniture. Once you have cleaned the furniture, rinse it off with clean water to remove any soap residue. 5. Dry the furniture. Use a soft cloth to dry the furniture completely.

Removing Rust

If your metal garden furniture has rust, you can remove it using vinegar. Mix equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution onto the rusty areas and let it sit for a few minutes. Use a soft brush to scrub away the rust. Rinse the area with clean water and dry it completely.

Removing Stubborn Stains

If your metal garden furniture has stubborn stains, you can try using baking soda. Make a paste by mixing baking soda with water. Apply the paste to the stains and let it sit for a few hours. Use a soft cloth to scrub away the stains. Rinse the area with clean water and dry it completely.
