    Power wash for a quick fix. If it’s really grimy you can add a detergent. For future use, try wet and forget outdoor. It’s a no scrub alternative. You can watch a video on qvc. I bought it at Lowe’s but can be purchased from Walmart.com for a little less.

    Hi Mde,

    I use a mix of vinegar & water - about a 50/50 mix, with a few drops of Dawn. I spray it on, let it sit in the sun for a while then wash it off. Rinse with a hose. I was amazed that I was able to clean a 25 year old lounge chair that was in good condition - just dirty. It came out looking like new. Wishing you the best. -Linda

    Can wet and forget also be used on wooden outdoor chairs?
