The basics

The first step is to vacuum any dirt and debris off your furniture using a soft bristled brush attachment. Also make sure that no water gets inside; this would cause cracks in the wood, molding, metal screws, etc. Use warm water mixed with dish soap or natural soap like Dr Bronners (if it's your first time washing it). Then scrub all surfaces thoroughly until there are no residues left over..

After the first wash has been completed use water and a clean sponge to thoroughly rinse the soap from the furniture. Make sure that all soap has been removed, as this can cause stains when left on the surface for a long time.

How do you remove mildew from patio furniture?

You need to mix 2 tablespoons of household bleach with a gallon of water and apply it to the surface. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before rinsing with warm water again. If there are still some mildew residues left over you can try using vinegar instead of bleach. Mix equal amounts of warm water and white distilled vinegar together, take a clean cloth and apply the mixture to the surface. Let it sit for a few minutes and rinse with warm water. Buying weatherproof furniture will reduce the chances of mildew development on the surface.
