How to clean your pool furniture
Vinyl pool furniture is a great choice for outdoor spaces because it is durable, lightweight, and easy to clean. Here are some steps you can follow to clean your vinyl pool furniture and keep it looking its best:
- Remove any loose dirt and debris: Use a soft-bristled brush or a microfiber cloth to wipe away any loose dirt, dust, or debris from the surface of the vinyl furniture. This will help prevent any scratches or damage to the material.
- Prepare a cleaning solution: Mix a solution of mild detergent and warm water in a bucket. Use a small amount of detergent, as too much can leave a residue on the surface of the vinyl. You can also use a specialized vinyl cleaner if you prefer.
- Scrub the furniture: Dip a soft-bristled brush or a sponge into the cleaning solution and gently scrub the surface of the furniture. Pay particular attention to any areas that are heavily soiled or stained. Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools, such as steel wool or scrub pads, as these can scratch the vinyl.
- Rinse the furniture: Once you have finished scrubbing, rinse the furniture thoroughly with a hose or a bucket of clean water. This will help to remove any remaining dirt or soap residue.
- Dry the furniture: Use a clean towel or a soft cloth to dry the furniture. Be sure to remove any excess water from the seams or crevices of the furniture, as this can lead to mildew or mold growth.
- Apply a vinyl protectant: Once the furniture is dry, you can apply a vinyl protectant to help protect it from the sun’s UV rays and other environmental factors. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application and frequency of use.
By following these steps, you can keep your vinyl pool furniture looking clean and well-maintained for years to come. If you have the ability stacking and storing your pool furniture out of the elements in the winter can help extend its life. Regular cleaning and maintenance will help extend the life of your furniture and ensure that it remains a beautiful and functional addition to your outdoor space.
