If you left your patio set out all winter and you're now trying to scrub off the grime that collected under layers of winter snow, this post is for you. We did a little research on how to get rid of tough stains that won't come off with normal washing...
According to the super-helpful website, How To Clean Anything, a product called Bio-Wash does the best job on dirty outdoor furniture. Although it seems like something that cuts through months of outdoor grime would be especially toxic, according to Bio-Wash's website, their products are water-based, free of solvents, and environmentally friendly. Bio-Wash Simple Wash cleaner is available through Environmental Home Center for $11.99/gallon. We've never used Bio-Wash, and we're wondering if it really works as well as we've heard. Any first-hand reviews?

Having just had the first rain ( a wopping 20 minutes in my area) of the season and with outdoor entertaining season commencing, I am looking forward to using Biowash to keep my furniture looking fresh air fabulous!

The Clorox Magic Eraser makes plastic furniture just like new.

about cleaning plastic with the Clorox Magic Eraser: if it's like the mr. clean eraser thingy, it'll basically sand off the top layer to clean it. which leaves you with a rough, matte surface, if it matters to you. at least thats what it did to my cheapo stackable plastic patio furniture.

I've used Oxy Clean, water and a scrub brush on some outdoor chairs and it worked great.
