How to Clean White Resin Patio Chairs

It just takes some soap and elbow grease to clean your patio chairs.

Over time, your white resin patio chairs are bound to start looking dirty and grimy due to the elements. Even if they've been in storage all winter, it's still easy to bring them back to life. With a little bit of cleaning, your chairs can become sparkling white again, ready for another season of use.

Things You'll Need

• Bucket
• Dishwasher detergent
• Sponge or rags
• Garden hose
• Car wax

Instructions

1. Mix 3 tablespoons of automatic dishwashing solution with a gallon of warm water in a bucket.

2. Dip an old rag or a sponge in the solution. Wipe down the chairs thoroughly with the cleaning solution and let it sit for 15 minutes. Rinse the chairs with a garden hose and air dry them.

3. Apply a car wax to keep your chairs clean and shiny. Follow the manufacturer's directions. Be sure to buff the wax so that it does not get on your clothing when you sit on your chairs.
