Where to Use VuPlex in Your Outdoor Space

Plastic Garden Chairs

Plastic Garden Tables

Wipe down sticky tables after meals or summer BBQs. VuPlex cleans plastic garden tables quickly and easily with no streaking - perfect for prepping for guests or storing for winter.

Loungers & Daybeds

Protect and refresh the plastic surfaces of outdoor loungers - especially those with curves or textured arms. VuPlex restores and prevents future grime from sticking.

Outdoor Storage, Umbrella Bases & More

VuPlex is great for multi-purpose outdoor plastics like hose reels, storage trunks, and even window panels in garden buildings. A quick spray and wipe keeps everything clean with minimal effort.

How to Use VuPlex on Garden Furniture

1. Brush Off Loose Dirt Wipe off dust or leaves with a soft brush or cloth. For very dirty items, rinse lightly with a garden hose.

2. Spray Lightly Shake the can and spray over the surface, or apply to a microfiber cloth for smaller areas or vertical panels.

3. Wipe Clean Use a soft cloth in a circular motion to lift grime, watermarks, and surface residue.

4. Buff to a Shine Flip your cloth to the dry side and buff the surface. VuPlex leaves a dry, anti-static finish that won’t attract new dirt easily.

Ideal for Regular Cleaning or Pre-Storage

  • Use before applying furniture covers
  • Prep your outdoor set before garden parties or weekend lounging
  • Apply a quick cleaning session at the end of each week for best long-term results
  • Safe for weathered plastic or as part of your regular maintenance routine

FAQs: Cleaning Outdoor Furniture with VuPlex

What’s the best way to clean white plastic garden chairs?

Use a soft cloth, not a brush or scrubber. Spray VuPlex directly onto the chair or onto a cloth. Wipe in circular motions to remove grime, stains, and yellowing. Buff to finish. No need for vinegar or soapy water - VuPlex does it in one step.

Can I use VuPlex instead of a pressure washer?

Yes - for most plastic garden furniture, you won’t need a pressure washer. VuPlex removes dirt and surface marks without any mess, making it ideal for smaller patios or balcony furniture where water use is limited.

Is VuPlex safe for metal or wooden garden furniture?

VuPlex is safe on coated metal surfaces like aluminium or painted steel. For wooden garden furniture, we recommend a specialist wood cleaner - but VuPlex is ideal for any plastic or composite inserts, trim, tabletops and finishes.

How often should I clean outdoor plastic furniture?

For best results, use VuPlex every few weeks - especially after rain, dusty conditions, or heavy use. If you cover your furniture, clean it before storing and again before your next outdoor season.

Can I use baking soda or white vinegar instead?

These can be too harsh, especially for slightly weathered plastic. They may cause dullness or make the surface sticky. VuPlex offers a safe, fast alternative that cleans and protects without damaging your furniture’s surface.
