Summer Outdoor Furniture Should be
Stylish, Durable and Easy to Maintain
Summei-time consumers crave
outdoor furniture that is stylish,
durable, easy to maintain, light
weight and affordable ? all quali
ties that resin furniture possesses.
Resin is a form of plastic. Most
formulas combine polypropylene
with other chemicals that make the
finished product more flexible, stur
dier and better able to withstand the
elements than previous generations
of plastic furniture. Other improve
ments include dust and static-free
prpperties and a glossy finish.
Styling improvements include more
generous chairs and sturdier tables.
Although white is the best-sell
ing color, hunter green, gray and
black ? particularly for indoor use
? are selling well in some areas.
Several manufacturers are exploring
different ways to introduce color,
reports the Soap and Detergent
Association. These include colored
inserts in seats and backs, snap-on
seat cushions, woodgrain textures
and multi-colored table tops in mar
ble and granite finishes. In some
cases, resin is combined with other
materials, such as melamine. acrylic
or glass. .
Stackable chairs are extremely
popular. They are easy to store and
styled to be suitable for indoor as
well as outdoor use in dorm rooms.

Prices can vary widely. In gen
eral. the more expensive versions
are thicker and heavier than the less
expensive ones. High-end resin fur
niture is usually heavier and often*
has a lacquer finish that resembles
high-gloss paint.
Resin furnilure can retain its
sleek, clean look for years with min
imum care. Most soils and stains can
be cleaned off with a non-abrasive,
all-purpose cleaner, a glass cleaner
or a cleaner-polish, following the
package directions. Or wipe the sur
face with a sponge or cloth dipped
in a solution of hand dishwashing
detergent and warm water. Rinse
thoroughly and dry with a clean, soft
cloth.
This is the season to enjoy the
outdoor furniture. A lot of people

following information is a care

The best care of vinyl furniture
to remove all mildew. Chlorine
bleach is safe to use on mosfevinyl
furniture. However if in doubt, pre
test the solution on an inconspicuous
spot before cleaning.
Wrought iron furniture can be
wiped down with a damp cloth and
dried. Wrought iron needs painting
at least every other year. For rust on
metal, sand the rust off and wipe
down the surface with a damp cloth
that has been dipped in a clorox
water detergent solution.
Wood furniture will need a
thorough dusting. If there is a pro
tective coating on the wood, wipe
down with a solution of sudsy
clorox and water. Red wood needs a
wood sealer from time to time, and
when the color changes it needs
restoring.
