Cleaning Resin Furniture

June 7, 2015

I have a white powdery residue on my green resin lawn chairs, even though I have cleaned them it still stays powdery. Is there anything I can do for this?

My Husband power-washed ours, and it did help, but they still are rough textured. They don't look wonderful, but at least they're not messing up our clothes when we sit on them, and they are 15 years old.

I tried this on my resin chairs which were badly oxidized. Vinegar didn't do a thing. Neither did baking soda. What worked was a Brillo Pad and Barkeepers Friend with a lot of scrubbing. What was much easier was Clorox Pro Outdoor Bleach. (Sodium hypochlorite and Sodium hydroxide - generic brand $4/gallon). Hose off large dirt first. Wipe it on with a damp sponge. I wore nitryl or vinyl gloves with the cuffs duct-taped to rubber gloves.

By the time I had two chairs wiped down with the viscous solution, the first chair was ready to wipe down with a Scotch Brite Pad (kept damp). Hose off. The solution will ruin clothing - wear old work cloths. Bad spots take 2 treatments. The chairs look almost new, except they are still a bit chalky. I rubbed the residue off with a plastic cleaner such as Armor All.

The best thing I have found is the Mr.Clean Erasers they work great on built up grime. You can get the dollar store kind cheap. They will fall apart quicker but work well. I would go to Mr. Clean website and find out how to get coupons or call to see what they could do for you, if you have to buy a lot of them. Good luck.

P.S. These work wonders in the kitchen, counters, crockpot liners, cabinets,
inside & outside frig they get all the grime and the stove hood, etc.

I clean all my white plastic chairs with a domestic cleaner from Aldi - I paint it on with a paint brush then hose it off, brings them up like new.

I would use warm soapy water and a scrub brush, providing just hosing them off doesn't work. My thought is that, even though the "ground in" dirt might not look nice, as long as there isn't wet dirt, or enough lose dust on them that would soil a person's clothes, that is good enough.

I use the Mr Clean Eraser pads (although I use the generic kind from the dollar store). They work miracles on resin anything.

I bought four white resin chairs at a yard sale. They are nice and sturdy, but when I started using them I found that a white chalk like film rubs off them onto my hands and clothing.
