    Default Cleaning Patio Furniture

    How do you clean your patio furniture? Maybe this is just an issue in damp climates, but we get black spots (mildew) on our patio furniture. The glass and metal ones just wipe off with soapy water, but I've never been able to get the plastic chairs clean, or the ones with fabric cushions.

    i have heard veingar helps but not so much for us
    i find that patio furniture cleaner doesnt do much
    to be honest i use scrubbing bubble put it on and let it sit in sun that gets alot off but sometimes its just permanant

    when its really bad- then i buy some of that spray paint that goes on the plastic stuff and repaint

    I like a bucket of 10% bleach solution, lots of sunshine, and a good scrubber. Wear your oldest clothes, that bleach can be a mess. I also second Mr. Clean Magic eraser.

    I use 1 part bleach to 9 parts water.

    Hose off all when done.
