How To Clean Weathered Plastic Outdoor Furniture

Over time, plastic outdoor furniture can become weathered and dull. The sun's UV rays can cause the plastic to fade, and dirt and grime can build up on the surface. If you want to restore your plastic outdoor furniture to its former glory, there are a few simple steps you can follow.

First, you'll need to gather your supplies. You'll need a bucket of warm water, a mild dish soap, a soft cloth or sponge, and a stiff brush. You may also want to use a commercial plastic cleaner, but this is not necessary.

Once you have your supplies, you can start cleaning your furniture. Start by wiping down the furniture with a damp cloth to remove any loose dirt or debris. Then, add a few drops of dish soap to the bucket of warm water and mix well. Dip your sponge or cloth into the soapy water and wring it out. Wipe down the furniture with the soapy water, paying special attention to any areas that are particularly dirty.

Once you've finished washing the furniture, rinse it off with clean water. You can use a hose or a bucket of water. Be sure to rinse off all of the soap residue, as this can attract dirt and grime.

Once the furniture is rinsed, dry it off with a clean cloth. You can also let it air dry in the sun.

If your furniture is particularly weathered, you may need to use a stiff brush to remove any stubborn dirt or grime. Be sure to brush gently, as you don't want to damage the plastic.

Once your furniture is clean and dry, you can apply a commercial plastic cleaner to help protect it from the elements. This will help to keep your furniture looking its best for longer.

By following these simple steps, you can easily clean weathered plastic outdoor furniture and restore it to its former glory.
