cleaning white plastic garden chairs

Pink.

Hi lavidaloca,

We have a recent thread that may help too so I've added your thread to it to keep all the suggestions together.

It may also be worth a look at these older threads:

Cleaning a plastic patio table?????

Cleaning plastic furniture?

and this recent one on the Greenfingered board: Great tip for cleaning garden furniture!

I remember a post recommending those eraser type sponges for it (Flash do them but £1 shops etc have cheaper versions) .

Yep, I can't remember who suggested this either, but I tried it and they work brilliantly.

Hi, I've tried most of the recommended suggestions. A couple work, sort of, but are very labour intensive. I then tried an electric drill with a disk attachment to which I fitted a soft abrasive disk. This worked perfectly, did not damage the plastic in any way and only took me about 20 minutes. The particular item now looks like new, however, I could have saved myself a lot of time and effort by simply purchasing a replacement item. Thanks for the ideas anyway.

Hi everyone, I hope you may be able to help me.

I have as you can tell from the title a white plastic table and 4 chairs which have been kept outside with no cover and are now very dirty. Do any of you have a old style cleaning method in an attempt to get them clean?

I have tried sopa & water, vinegar but all to no avail. I am trying to use more eco products but will resort to others if there is nothing.

Looking forward to hearing fro you all.

Good old fashioned Cif will do the job nicely. I always have some on the go, although abottle lasts me a year or two, the one I have, I have had since I moved here, February 2009!

I have to admit OH gets the pressure washer out, they get one blast then a scrub with stardrops, then a second blast.
I know not everyone has a pressure washer, but if you know someone who does its worth a borrow. Oh does the patio with it as well.

I'd go for the cream cleaner and a plastic scourer (careful not to scratch the plastic ). There are more ideas in this thread; I'll add this to that later to keep ideas together.

Kitchen stardrops and a good scrub with a microfibre cloth
