Regarding the outdoor garden decoration, we often rely on the color white. Why? Universal and in tune with the times, this shade brings elegance and refinement to every room and space! However, it is very difficult to maintain. So, how to maintain and clean white plastic garden furniture?

For this purpose, a cloth soaked in hydrogen peroxide will be quite suitable.

A solution against encrusted stains

If the situation with your garden furniture is obviously very serious, the proposal we are presenting to you will certainly do the trick. So, just like with cleaning your white basketball, for the most encrusted stains, we put on baking soda diluted with lukewarm water! Thanks to this clever trick, no trace will resist you. And to make sure the baking soda won't damage your furniture, put a small amount of the mixture on a limited area, rub, wipe off and you're done!

If the results are not what you expect, combine the baking soda with a small amount of your oven cleaner. Moreover, it is very important to note that some outdoor furniture has a tendency to discolour due to its poor quality. So, in this case, a cleaning of this type will not work miracles.

Relive your plastic garden furniture by betting on white clay stone

Another green and natural method is clay or silver stone. This paste is very effective to revive your garden furniture. For abrasion-free cleaning, accompany the clay stone with a sponge or a soft-bristled brush. So, moisten, apply, rub and rinse! Thanks to this revolutionary product, your cleaning becomes child's play! And as we indicated to you above, after each rinsing, we dry with a cloth or a towel.

Egg white - a smart and relatively unknown trick

Contrary to popular belief, egg white is an excellent method to get rid of the most stubborn stains! Whip your egg whites until stiff. Apply the preparation obtained on the desired area or on the entire surface of your plastic furniture and let dry. After half an hour, rub with a cloth or a towel. This is surely the easiest and most efficient way to properly clean garden furniture, while making it brighter.
