Cleaning Outdoor Furniture
Spend Your Summer Outside!
We are excited you’ve been outside enjoying the warm weather by spending time on your porch, in your backyard, on the dock, by the pool, and on the lake! But it may be time for you to clean up your outdoor furniture after the long winter season!
Cleaning Poly
Using soap and water, clean poly with a sponge or a brush For dust on poly, simply use a hose and spray it off with clean water For smaller areas, try using a toothbrush to get better results
Deeper Clean
Try pressure washing your poly. It is not suggested to surpass 1,500 psi. To avoid damage, be sure to stand far away from the furniture, about 12 inches.
Cleaning Sunbrella Fabric
- Combine ¼ cup of a mild soap per gallon of water, clean the surface and allow the cleaner to soak.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- When cleaning, be sure to clean the entire piece of fabric, rather than just the stain, to ensure that you refrain from water rings.
Deeper Clean
- For mildew, add 1 cup of bleach to the original cleaner.
- Spray the entire area and let it sit for 15 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly ensuring there is no leftover cleaner.
