cleaning white plastic garden chairs

spaghetti_monster

Hi guys!

Just started on a cleaning job - my boyfriend has some of those white plastic garden chairs and they are really filthy - I guess dirt, bit mouldy, they've been sitting outside all year round I think!

Anyway, have set to work with hot soapy water but it's not really shifting it. Is there anything else I could use??? I don't know if it's mold or not, but theu have lots of grey spotty patches.

Thanks!

have you tried stardrops. I am a recent convert and find:D it cleans most things you should give it a try!!:D

I tried everything with my table and chairs when they went like this and failed I'm afraid. I hope you have better luck. I'm buying green ones next time!

Try plain old 'soda crystals' from any supermarket. Dissolve in a basin of boiling water, and give them a good clean. It'll take any stain off...try it in mugs, gets tea and coffee stains off equal to the dishwasher

Few worth trying if you have them

Bio washing powder
Soda crystals
Ajax scouring powder

My Mam says don't use bleach as hers went yellow.

try using t-cut avaiable from halfrords / motor spares
or how about painting them , plastikote do a spray for that sort of stuff
should be avaiable at homebase , b+q etc

Chairs are ok just need a soapy wash but the table was left out longer than it should have been and has greeny stains on it what should I use please?

I remember a post recommending those eraser type sponges for it (Flash do them but £1 shops etc have cheaper versions) Many use stardrops with success. A job I need to tackle next week so let me know if you find something that works well.
