Step-by-step guide

Step 1
For light, regular cleans, spray Universal Cleaner onto a General Cloth and wipe down furniture surfaces, including tabletops, arms and legs.

Step 2
For heavier soils or outdoor grime, spray Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner with the Foamer directly onto the surface.

Step 3
Use a water soaked Bathroom Mitt to agitate and lift dirt, focusing on textured or weathered areas.

Step 4
Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any residue.

Step 5
Allow the furniture to dry completely before use or covering.

 

Pro tip

• Clean outdoor furniture at the start and end of each season — a quick Koh clean now prevents long-term build-up and helps materials last longer.

• Use the Scrubby Corner on your General Cloth to tackle stubborn dried-on soils.
