With winter over, spring has arrived, bringing with it days that are still quite gray but also some very sunny ones, making us want to enjoy the outdoors.
When you think of the outdoors, you naturally think of garden furniture!
Why is it necessary to clean plastic outdoor furniture?
Whether your resin garden furniture has been left outside or stored in your garden shed since autumn, your table, chairs, deck chairs, etc. have been exposed to the elements throughout the winter, including pollution, rain, sun, wind, snow, etc.
Even when sheltered, it needs to be cleaned to make it as beautiful as it was in its early days and welcome family or friends for good meals on beautiful summer days.
Several tips for cleaning your plastic garden furniture properly without damaging it
1.White vinegar and soapy water
Here is a well-known preparation that will definitely not damage your plastic outdoor furniture. This homemade solution allows you to remove superficial dust stains that have accumulated over the months using a simple, non-abrasive sponge.
It will thoroughly clean the plastic without damaging it.
Rinse your sunlounger, deck chair, garden chair, or table thoroughly to remove all dirt with a hose (do not use a high-pressure hose).
Finally, use a terry cloth towel to prevent streaks caused by water droplets running down the plastic.
2. Baking soda
Your garden furniture is very dirty, so it is essential to find a more suitable solution for these stains embedded in the plastic.
Please note that this does not mean damaging your plastic furniture, but rather using more powerful cleaning products such as rubbing alcohol or baking soda diluted in hot water. A mixture of white vinegar and baking soda also works perfectly.
It is important to remember never to use an abrasive sponge, as this will permanently damage the resin surface of your garden chair or dining table by attacking the top layer, where scratches, dust, pollen, and pollution will undoubtedly alter the original color of your product.
3. Clean as much as you want
A major advantage of resin garden furniture is that you can clean it as often as you like (following the instructions provided) without damaging it.
Its simplicity, ease of maintenance, and above all its resistance to all conditions make it an essential material for outdoor furniture that will stand the test of time.
