How do I remove black discolouration from my garden furniture?
June 15th, 2009 Category Garden Furniture
My garden furniture was out all last summer in the rain. I tried some off the shelf products but they don’t seem to work. The black discolouration is very bad.

not sure how but until then you can always paint it over or put a nice throw over it

bleach is the best thing- then let the furniture air to get rid of the smell.

You cannot remove but try removing it with turpentine…..I think it will do it!!

jeys fluid is really good, you can buy some that is for patios and patio furniture! i scrubbed mine with this , then hosed it down and now as good as new, but it from wilkinson’s or tesco in cleaning isle.
Good luck with the clenaing!

Assuming it’s wood, wet a small inconspicuous spot and apply a solution of 1cup of household bleach to a quart of water to see how strong a solution you need. Let it soak for at least 15 minutes and then scrub with dishwash liquid soap and water. Do this on a sunny day.

Usually bleach and water will work. If not, Home depot carries a product called ZEP mold and stain remover. That stuff works great on the plastic funiture I clean at a beach house. Its stronger than bleach. It will even take black mold off siding with out damaging it. I also used it on wood too.

There a several products out there for this but the key item is bleach.So dilute some with hot water and spray on or wipe use scrub brush on it and let it sit .You can use tilex or any of those kitchen and bath product but if you have alot to clean the bleach is more cost effective.Make sure to rise with water when done.

I used a housewash called Jomax; got it at Tru-Value. It’s really nothing more than a bleach accelerator. Goes on with a pump sprayer and works great.

I had the same problem and I found that Soap pads soon got rid of it, Bit of scrubbing, but does a great job.
