How to Clean Powder Coated Aluminium Patio Furniture

To clean your patio furniture mesh, follow these steps:

Preparation:

Preparation

  • Gather your tools: a soft-bristle brush, mild detergent or soap, a bucket, water, a hose, and a clean towel are all required.
  • Select the best place. Find an appropriate cleaning location, preferably outside, where you will have easy access to water and enough space to work.

Remove loose debris:

  • Remove any loose dirt, leaves, or debris from the mesh first. Brush or suck away the loose particles with a soft-bristle brush or a Hoover cleaner with a brush attachment.

Pre-treat Stains:

Pre-treat Stains

  • Pre-treat any stains on the mesh before continuing with the basic cleaning. In a bucket, combine a tiny amount of mild detergent or soap with water to make a soapy solution.
  • Gently massage the soiled spots with a clean cloth dipped in the soapy solution. Allow the solution to remain for a few minutes on the spots to loosen them. General Cleaning:
  • Fill a bucket halfway with warm water and add a few drops of mild detergent or soap. To make a soapy solution, carefully stir the mixture.
  • Scrub the mesh in a circular motion with the soft-bristle brush dipped in the soapy solution. Cover all parts of the mesh, taking special care of any soiled areas.
  • Abrasive brushes and aggressive chemicals should be avoided as they can harm the mesh material.

Rinse Thoroughly: 

Rinse Thoroughly

  • After scrubbing the mesh, thoroughly rinse it with clean water. Spray water evenly over the mesh with a hose to ensure that all soap residue is gone.
  • To avoid spreading dirt or soap onto previously cleaned areas, rinse from top to bottom.

Drying:

  • Allow the mesh to air dry in a well-ventilated location after rinsing. Before using or storing the furniture, make sure it is totally dry.
  • To speed up the drying process, avoid utilizing heat sources or direct sunshine, since they might cause damage or fade to the mesh material.

Additional Tips:

Additional Tips

  • To remove persistent stains, gently scrub the afflicted areas with a soft sponge or cloth dipped in a solution of water and vinegar.
  • Consider using a fabric protector designed exclusively for outdoor furniture mesh to avoid additional stains. For application, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

Remember that regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for keeping your patio furniture mesh looking and functioning properly. Cleaning your furniture at least once a season is recommended, and more regularly if it is subjected to extensive use or adverse weather conditions. You can keep your patio furniture clean, welcoming, and ready for relaxation and enjoyment by following these instructions.
