You&#8217;ll also need to clean off your <a href=\"\/outdoor-patio-furniture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">patio furniture<\/a>. The melted snow, dirt and other debris all probably took their toll on your <a href=\"\/patio-chairs-and-tables\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">patio chairs and tables<\/a>. With the help of Blain&#8217;s Farm &amp; Fleet, you can learn how to clean your outdoor furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"plastic-patio-furniture\">Plastic Patio Furniture<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Plastic furniture can be easily cleaned. For white plastic, use a damp cloth with a mixture of water and dishwashing detergent. You can also use a combination of 1 gallon of warm water and 1\/2 cup of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/s\/?keyword=washing+soda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">washing soda<\/a>. For colored plastic, use 1 quart of warm water mixed with 1\/4 cup vinegar. If your furniture has stubborn stains, use <a href=\"\/baking-soda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">baking soda<\/a> or white distilled vinegar. Rinse everything off by using a garden hose.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wood-patio-furniture\">Wood Patio Furniture<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>For wood furniture, whether it&#8217;s wicker or teak, use an <a href=\"\/brands\/murphy-oil-soap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">oil-based soap<\/a> mixed with warm water. If you&#8217;re cleaning wicker, it&#8217;s important to hose it down every couple weeks to keep dirt from building up in the crevices. Rinse the furniture off by hosing it down.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"metal-patio-furniture\">Metal Patio Furniture<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>For aluminum and wrought iron furniture, use a clean cloth and a mixture of water and dishwashing detergent. If the aluminum furniture has scuff marks, use water and a small amount of a nonabrasive cleaner. Two of the biggest problems with metal patio furniture are rust and oxidation. Sand off rust and damaged paints. Use <a href=\"\/mineral-spirits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mineral spirits<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/naphthas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">naphtha<\/a>&nbsp;on a damp cloth to wipe away any of the residue. If you want to paint your metal furniture, use a rust-resistant primer and a rust-resistant paint to keep it looking great in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"glass-patio-furniture\">Glass Patio Furniture<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Home <a href=\"\/glass-cleaners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">glass cleaners<\/a>&nbsp;are the easiest way to clean glass patio furniture. Use nonabrasive cleaning supplies to keep the glass free from scratches. When glass furniture isn&#8217;t in use, it should be covered up or put away.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"canvas-cushions\">Canvas Cushions<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Most canvas is machine washable, so you can simply remove it and wash it. Put the canvas back on the cushions or furniture while it&#8217;s still damp so it keeps its shape. If the canvas isn&#8217;t removable, use a scrub brush and <a href=\"\/laundry-detergent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">laundry detergent<\/a> to remove stains and debris. Rinse it off with a hose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a combination of clean patio furniture, <a href=\"\/blog\/patio-lights-a-beginners-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">patio lights<\/a> and more, you can <a href=\"\/blog\/5-patio-ideas-for-a-restful-oasis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">turn your patio into a restful oasis<\/a>.
