Clean Plastic outdoor Furniture

Plastic outdoor furniture is inexpensive and a popular choice amongst those looking to furnish their backyard. Plastic is relatively easy to maintain, but routine care will help extend the life of your outdoor furniture.

Most plastic furniture benefits from a mild cleanser as opposed to a harsh one. Make your own by combining ½ cup washing soda with 1 gallon of warm water.

For colored plastic, mix ¼ cup white vinegar and 1-quart warm water.

When cleaning white plastic, avoid chemicals, such as chlorine and bleach. Both of which can eat away at the material.

For stubborn stains, use white vinegar and a rag to wipe down the piece. Also substitute baking soda for white vinegar to peel away stains without scratching plastic furniture.

TEAK

Teak is one of the most sought after hardwoods for the outdoors due to its beauty and durability. Teak is a very dense wood which contains natural oils that repel water and make it unfavorable to pests and insects.

Teak furniture is generally sold in a natural wood finish, which is a golden honey color. However, when exposed to the elements, the teak will slowly turn into a soft, silvery patina.

Like all woods, teak will expand and contract in the heat and cold. With extreme weather changes, cracking can occur. The integrity of the wood remains extremely durable, but we do recommend to cover the furniture.

How to Clean Teak

Clean using water a mild detergent and a soft bristled brush.

To prevent mildew growth add a cup of bleach or vinegar to a gallon of warm water.

To remove stains, a plastic-bristled brush can be used if needed.

Do NOT pressure wash. This can cause discoloration or splinter and damage the wood.

Fabric

Hammocks, seat covers and stretched fabric look great, but get dirty quickly. Because they are manufactured from a variety of materials, both natural and synthetic, the safest method for cleaning is to use a solution of dish soap and warm water. Whenever possible, consult manufacturer's instructions for recommended cleaning methods. In some cases, fabric may be removed and washed in a washing machine set to gentle. Air-dry to avoid damage from a hot dryer. Once clean, consider applying a water-repellant fabric protector to minimize future staining.

Dealing With Mold

Rain and humidity often leave outdoor furniture damp and prone to the development of mold and mildew on its surfaces. To deal with mold, make sure the furniture is dry and scrub with a brush to remove surface mold and spray with a hose to rinse. Once dry-scrubbed, full-strength white vinegar and a hard brush will remove stubborn mildew. Diluted bleach is also effective in removing mold from hard surfaces, but may discolor some materials and isn’t always the best choice. When in doubt, err on the side of caution.
