Step One: Choose Right Cleaner

The first step in removing foundation stains is to choose the right cleaner. For best results, opt for an all-purpose, non-abrasive cleaner that is designed specifically for outdoor furniture. Be sure to read the label thoroughly before using as some cleaners may contain harsh chemicals that can harm the finish on your furniture.

Step Two: Apply the Cleaner

Once you've chosen the right cleaner, it's time to apply it to the affected areas of your outdoor furniture. Start by wetting the stained area with a sponge or soft cloth and then apply the cleaner directly. Work in small circles and let cleaner sit for 30 minutes or so before rinsing with clean water.

Step Three: Scrub Away the Stains

When the 30 minutes are up, you'll need to use a sponge or soft cloth to scrub away the foundation stains. Focus on working the cleaner into stained area and use gentle, circular motions. You may need to repeat this process several times for stubborn stains.

Step Four: Rinse and Dry the Furniture

Once you've finished scrubbing, it's time to rinse the furniture with clean water and let it dry thoroughly in the sun. This will help to ensure that all of the cleaner is removed and will leave your outdoor furniture looking sparkling clean.
