Dingy Patio Furniture? Spruce It Up with These Tips
As summer comes and you are ready to enjoy the great outdoors, or at least your Back Porch, you may notice that your patio furniture is not as bright and attractive as it once was. The sun, wind, and dust that your patio furniture is exposed to on a daily basis do quite a number on its looks. If you are looking to learn how to clean patio furniture, here are some tips you should know.
Cleaning Resin or Plastic Patio Furniture
To clean resin or plastic patio furniture that is light in color, make a solution that includes 1-gallon of warm water, three quarters cup of bleach, and 1-tablespoon of laundry soap. If there is any coloring on the furniture, test a small, inconspicuous area first to make sure it will not damage the color. If the color brightens but does not become discolored, you can clean the entire piece.
Use the solution and a scrub brush with soft bristles to clean the entire piece. Then, leave the water solution on the furniture for around 15 minutes. Then rinse it thoroughly.
If the furniture is colored, use a solution made out of 1-gallon of warm water and 1-tablespoon of all-purpose cleaner. This eliminates the bleach, which can damage the coloration of the colored furniture. Again, after washing let the solution set on the furniture for around 10 to 15 minutes and rinse completely.
Unfinished Wood Patio Furniture
Unfinished wood furniture is really abused by the elements. One problem you face when cleaning unfinished wood is the fact that it tends to absorb excess water, which can cause it to warp or crack. To avoid this problem, make a solution out of a gallon of water, 1 cup of ammonia, and three quarters cup of vinegar. Scrub down your wood furniture with this solution, and then rinse it completely. After rinsing, use towels to take up any excess water.
Cleaning Patio Furniture Cushions
The cushions on your patio furniture are probably one of the most likely items to need a good cleaning. Most patio furniture pillows and cushions are washable, but check the label before you attempt washing them. If they are, wash them with soapy water and a sponge. Make sure that you rinse them well and wipe them as dry as you can.
Cleaning a Patio Umbrella
Patio umbrellas often grow mold. This happens because they get wet and then sit closed in the warm weather, making a moist, warm environment for mold to grow in. Not only is mold unsightly, but it is also a health hazard, so you need to deal with it.
To clean the mold off of a patio umbrella, make a solution with 1 gallon warm water, a squirt of liquid dish detergent, and three quarters cup of bleach. Test the color first on the inside of the umbrella. If it reacts well to the bleach, open the umbrella, don some rubber gloves, and scrub the umbrella using the solution and a brush with soft bristles. As soon as you are done, rinse the umbrella. If you find that the solution fades the colors on the umbrella, look on the tag to see what cleaning agents you can use. Always let the umbrella dry completely before you close it, as this can cause new mold to develop.
Aluminum Patio Furniture
To clean aluminum furniture, scrub the piece down with a plastic scrubber or steel wool using dish detergent. Put in plenty of elbow grease to make sure you get it good and clean. Rinse the furniture completely to remove all of the soap.
If the furniture is baked on aluminum, use a sponge instead of the plastic scrubber. Soak it with the dishwashing detergent. Work the sponge and the cleaner into the furniture and rinse. Dry it using a cloth and then finish with some car wax. Make sure the car wax does not get on the fabric or webbing on the piece of furniture. This will preserve the finish the furniture.

Can I put outdoor rocks inside my goldfish tank?
I have a 5.5 gallon tank with two goldfish. I can’t pay for decorations, so I was thinking of going outside and getting rocks and piling them in my tank, would this be okay? I’m also in need of some natural cover for my fish, such as plants, but I’m not fond of live ones. Also, would it be possible to build a structure out of Lego and place it in the tank without having it leach chemicals into the water? Thanks.
As long as the rocks are cleaned well, it will be fine. I have some garden rocks in my 55 gal. tank right now. If you are worried, you could always put them in boiling water to be sure. The Lego’s would be fine, as well, as they are non -toxic toys made for children. The problem you may have is that they probably float and may need to be anchored down in some way.
