How to clean garden furniture? 4 tips for cleaning garden furniture

Plastic garden furniture can become dirty due to exposure to exhaust fumes, wind, and rain, leaving unsightly marks, especially on white pieces. To clean effectively, HG garden furniture cleaner is recommended, as it quickly removes stubborn dirt and restores the furniture's appearance. It is also suitable for other materials like aluminium, wicker, and metal.

For those seeking alternatives, a mixture of water and all-purpose cleaner or a combination of vinegar and soda can be used. However, using a high-pressure cleaner is risky, especially on thinner plastics, as it may cause damage. To prevent dirt accumulation, store furniture indoors when not in use. While non-HG solutions may offer some success, they do not guarantee the same results. Curious about how routine maintenance can further enhance your garden furniture's longevity?
