Jeanette S on Oct 14, 2012Ours is that wire mesh type that is impossible to just wipe clean so we took it out in the front yard where we get plenty of sun....washed it with warm water with dishwashing soap using a soft scrub brush. Then we moved it to a dry spot and let it sun dry. I wound up painting mine all different colors. If yours is old, be sure and check for rust spots and do some preventtive maintenance.Helpful Reply
