Question:
How do I clean the black grime off of my resin patio furniture?
Answer:
Mix a half a cup of household ammonia into a bucket of hot water and use that to clean your furniture. The ammonia may take the shiny finish off of the furniture. Just use some automotive paste wax to buff the shine back. As an added bonus, if your resin furniture is colored, the wax will protect it from fading over time in the sun.
