Clean Your Patio Furniture!

Perfect weather is just around the corner and we couldn't be more ready for it! We'll admit our backyard isn't quite as ready. Today we're sharing hacks on how to get your patio furniture cleaned and ready for Spring!

CAST ALUMINUM

Cover the furniture from top to bottom with an all purpose cleaner and rub with a nylon scrubbing brush. Wipe with a microfiber cloth. Need a little extra protection? Finish with a top coat of car wax!

CUSHIONS

Mix 1 teaspoon of dish soap, 1 tablespoon of borax & 1 quart of warm water in a bucket. Wet a sponge with the solution and scrub it on all sides of the cushions. Let soak for 15 minutes and then rinse with a hose. Stand each cushion up to dry faster.

UMBRELLA

Simply hose down the umbrella! If it's in need of a deeper cleaning, rub a wet soft-bristle brush across a bar of soap and run it over the open canopy. Rinse with a hose and leave the umbrella open until fully dry.

WICKER

Use the vacuum attachment for crevices to dislodge bugs, dirt and leaves from the cracks. Wipe down with a microfiber cloth and all purpose cleaner. Rinse with a damp sponge and dry with a cloth to prevent mildew.
