- Prepare your furniture: Remove any loose debris and dust from your furniture with a broom or a brush. If there are any cushions or removable covers, take them off and set them aside.
- Choose the right pressure setting: High pressure washers come with adjustable pressure settings. For outdoor furniture we recommend a lower pressure setting. Delicate materials like wicker or painted surfaces will require a lower pressure setting of 50-100 bar, while tough surfaces like concrete or metal can handle a higher pressure setting of 100-150 bar.
- Fill up your detergent bottle: Fill up your foam sprayer with cleaning solution. Depending what material you are cleaning we recommend a specialised detergent such as Rattan & Plastic cleaner or Stone & Wood cleaner. Nilfisk pressure washers come with an external foam sprayer meaning if you don’t use all the detergent at once, you can save it for next time.
- Start cleaning: Begin cleaning your furniture starting from the top and working your way down. Hold the jet washer at a distance of around 15 cm from the surface and spray in a sweeping motion. Make sure to keep the lance constantly moving to avoid damaging the surface.
- Rinse your furniture: After you have cleaned the entire surface, rinse the furniture thoroughly with water. This will remove any remaining cleaning solution and prevent streaking.
- Dry our your furniture: Leave the furniture to air dry in the sun. Avoid using a cloth or a towel to dry it, as this can leave lint or streaks on the surface.
Cleaning your garden furniture with a high pressure washer is an easy and effective way to keep it looking as good as new. By following these steps, you can ensure that your furniture is clean and ready to enjoy all through the summer season.
