How do I remove plastic burned onto a patio heater?
We purchased a patio heater, my husband put it together, but left the plastic on the top. It is burnt on, how do I remove it?
If you have a high pressure washer you are laughing. So easy. Or an alternative it to scrub them with vinegar or for mold I use bleach. If they are too damaged you can always respray them with spray paint suitable for plastic. Good luck.
After washing them consider painting them also. They will look great and if you pick a different color they will look like a new set of chairs. It is easy and cheap if you use cheap walmart paint. A good prep job generally means a good result. So take the extra time to sand the entire chair lightly. Just enough to create a surface the paint can grab onto. Then wipe them down with a damp clothe and let them air dry several hours. Light coats of spray paint is much better then 1 or 2 heavy coats (you don't want the paint to run).
My husband uses a mixture of bleach/water, about 1:3. Seems to do the job. Another product called "Krud Kutter" purchased at home improvement stores is an option, but I have had it ruin the finish on a few items. I prefer the bleach/water solution. Good Luck.
Just wash them. A hose, a bucket, some dawn dish soap and a kitchen srubbie sponge. Vinegar will kill any mold spores, bleach, will not. Hose off and you are done!
If you are still not happy, you can always paint them, but I bet a good wash will do the trick. Then add a pretty lumbar pillow and you will be good to go!
Mr. Clean sponges in a white vinegar and water solution. You can add a bit of dish soap to cut the greasy residue, but then you’ll have to rinse.
I also agree with the bleach method of cleaning, rinsing well, and using a spray paint suitable for plastic. They look new again.
