Outdoor furniture: how to clean it?
Plastic furniture
Start by passing your plastic furniture under the spray
of water, even karcher! Then take a sponge and dip it in a
mixture of soapy water (Marseille soap does wonders) and
White vinegar. Rub! If that's not enough, don't hesitate to use
a brush for more efficiency.
Wooden furniture
Start by rubbing your furniture dry using a
hard bristle brush. Then repeat the operation with lukewarm water and
black soap. For nooks, do not hesitate to use an old brush
teeth! Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. If tasks persist,
rub them with a cork or an eraser. Depending
of the essence of wood that makes up your furniture, you can then
nourish with a specific oil or apply a layer of stain in order to
protect.
Outdoor furniture: a second life
If the stains resist or your furniture is no longer at
fashion, or just more to your liking, you will need a little more
elbow grease! You can repaint them, in terms of plastic,
you will need to apply an undercoat after having lightly sanded the surface to
paint for better adhesion. Buy a special paint,
check with a vendor to purchase the correct type of paint.
For wooden furniture, you just need to sand them completely,
brush them well, then paint or varnish them. You can opt for
a simple stain or, why not, a color! Why not
revisit your garden furniture with a white table and armchairs in a
your sage green, very trendy this year? Tell us in the comments
how you gave a second life to your garden furniture…
