CLR Outdoor Furniture Cleaner claims to be fast and easy. Supposedly you only need to wipe and rinse, as seen on TV.
What it is:
CLR is an instant cleaner for plastic or resin, rattan, wicker, wood, wrought iron, vinyl, PVC, and canvas furniture. On top of that it is biodegradable and will not harm grass.
Other pluses:
It supposedly helps protect from fading and discoloration. It is supposed to inhibit mildew. It is also supposed to absorb ultraviolet light. And it is supposed to protect metal.
Before you start:
The directions say to test the product on an inconspicuous spot for color safety. I chose not to do this as my furniture was light.
What I did:
I used it today to clean 8 chairs and 2 tables. 1 bottle (26 fl oz) was not quite enough to do the job the way it needed to be done.
Granted my chairs were super dirty. They had not been cleaned since Easter. And they were outdoors under trees. My furniture was beige plastic.
How to use:
- Use rubber gloves.
- Spritz the furniture generously, then let it sit. I let it sit while I sprayed the next chairs. This loosens the dirt before you wipe it off.
- Then for woven surfaces, cushions or fabric use a soft bristled brush to finish cleaning.
- For smooth surfaces such as plastic, use a brush, cloth or sponge. I used a sponge.
- Finish by rinsing well.
My take:
I had to rub thoroughly (hard) on some areas that were especially dirty. It might have worked better and faster if I had used a brush.
For the most part, it worked very well. All the chairs, except for one, came quite clean. That chair appears to be stained. Perhaps a second application will take care of it.
Have you used this product? What do you think?
This product was tested and this post was written by a thirteen year old girl.
