How to Eliminate Mildew From Beach Chairs

Make your beach chairs, lawn chairs, and other outdoor furniture clean again. This is a simple yet very effective method to remove mildew from outdoor furniture.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Disposable gloves
• Bucket of water
• Mr. Clean Magic Eraser

1. Do your cleaning outside so that you can wash it off with the hose and let the sun dry it. Wear disposable gloves so you don't get any chemicals on your skin when cleaning.

2. This is the easiest and the most successful method of removing mildew on a variety of surfaces (vynl, plastic, cloth, etc.)
   Dip a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser in some warm water and wipe the mildew off of your beach chair or piece of outdoor furniture. A little scrubbing in one spot should indicate how effective it is. It works incredibly well. It is normal for the magic eraser sponge to wear down to just about nothing as you scrub. Use another one if needed.

3. Then rinse off and let dry. Your chair or outdoor furniture should look great now. Dispose of your plastic gloves. Enjoy your mildew-free beach chairs and outdoor furniture.

Tips & Warnings

• If this is the first time you're using the magic eraser on something, test in an inconspicuous spot to make sure it cleans properly and doesn't damage your furniture.
• Follow directions on the package for the magic eraser. They suggest wearing gloves while using the eraser.
