Brushed solution over chairs. Let set for five minutes. Sprayed with clear water. Good as new!

Others are flat and not shiny. For the glossy, I'm certain that magic eraser works. For the dull, it gets such oxidation that I found only sanding works, and after all that effort it takes so long that I should have tried to find curbside chairs being tossed that look better than mine. lol I tried bleach and lots of various things that claimed to clean but didn't try OxyClean and should have. Painting costs more than the chairs. lol God Bless Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Plastic Outdoor Furniture Post By (Guest Post) (08/14/2006) I use Oxi-clean! Works!

I put a little more bleach in it than I usually would and just sprayed the heck out of it! It worked like a charm! I left it in the sun for a while after I rinsed it off and it looks new.

Also if they have mold/mildew stains, there are products specifically for that problem....but if you want to make them look like new again for little money, may I suggest buying the spray paint for plastic. My husband painted our resin table, 4 chairs and a small table too all for $25 in paint. We used the Krylon "Fusion"....the furniture was white and he made it tan. It's like having a new set. I bought the paint at Wal-Mart for $3.97 a can.

I rinsed it first then applied the scrub free to a brush and scrubbed. They came out really nice...
