  　　Outdoor furniture is built for the abuse it takes all spring and summer, but it does need some TLC to keep it looking its best and increase its longevity. An important part of cleaning metal frame furniture price is removing dirt, dust, and stains that accumulate, along with keeping metal free of rust and oxidation. Wicker collects dust and dirt in the weave, slings accumulate oils and sunscreen, and glass tabletops trap debris in the grooves and show water stains. Fortunately, there are some cleaning techniques that when applied regularly will restore the beauty of your furniture and keep it in commission for years to come.

  　　Cleaning Iron and Aluminum Furniture

  　　One of the problems with aluminum furniture is its tendency to show scuff marks. You can removed these scuffs quite easily using a non-abrasive cleaner such as Soft Scrub. Keep in mind that you should never use alkaline cleaners like ammonia or TSP (trisodium phosphate) with metal furniture (such as iron and aluminum). These cleaners will cause oxidation, which is already a major problem merely through outdoor exposure. If your furniture is showing signs of oxidation, you can remove it in one of two ways: with a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water, or with a metal polishing paste.

  　　Iron furniture, on the other hand, is subject to rust. If your furniture has become rusty, you can start off by sanding off the damaged paint and rust. Once that is done, wipe off the metal with a cloth dampened with naphtha or mineral spirits. Before repainting your iron furniture, use a rust-resistant primer; when it’s ready to paint, make sure to use one of the many rust-resistant paints that are available.

  　　If you don’t feel up to dealing with rust removal and painting yourself, you can turn to a professional. An outdoor furniture restoration specialist will remove the existing paint and rust with thorough sandblasting, then powder-coat your furniture for a brand-new finish that will last much longer than a simple paint job will. Your aluminum and iron furniture can then be kept looking new by regular cleaning followed by a coat or two of regular automotive wax.

  　　Cleaning Outdoor Plastic Furniture

  　　Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners on plastic: chlorine and bleach may get rid of stains, but they can eat away at your furniture in the process. Abrasive cleaners are problematic as well, because they will scratch away the plastic, leaving unsightly marks and lead to more problems. If your furniture has lost its shine, try spraying it with WD-40 and wiping it dry with a clean, soft cloth.

  　　Instead of using harsh cleaners, opt for a mild cleanser for your furniture. If you have colored plastic, you can use a mixture of 1 quart warm water with ¼ cup of vinegar. For white or very light-colored plastic furniture, try 1 gallon of warm water with 3 tablespoons of automatic dishwasher detergent. The dishwater detergent contains a very mild bleach which enables it to do a good job of removing stains.

  　　Shaving cream can also work well to clean plastic: spray it on; let it set for a few minutes; scrub lightly with an old, soft toothbrush; then wipe off. If stains remain, you have two options: with a wet sponge, use white distilled vinegar or baking soda. After cleaning, you can apply a coat of automotive wax for added protection.
