Daughter of a farmer and market gardener so have always had a connection with the outdoors, whether it was keeping animals or producing fruit, vegetables and cut flowers. Along with my work at Hayes Garden World I also have a smallholding, mainly breeding rare breed pigs. I gained an HND and BSc in Conservation and Environmental Land Management, as a result I am an ardent environmentalist and have a keen interest in environmentally friendly gardening. In my time at Hayes I worked for several years in the Outdoor Plant and Houseplant areas

How To Remove Stains From Synthetic Rattan Garden Furniture

Stains are easily removed from good quality synthetic rattan furniture

Stains on synthetic outdoor rattan garden furniture, which is used a lot, are almost inevitable, especially if there are small children in the family.

Good quality synthetic furniture can just be washed with warm soapy water then rinsed with clear and the stain will come off quite easily. However poor quality garden furniture, made with a low density polyethylene will stain very easily and be impossible to remove, as poor quality plastic is very absorbent, so spoiling your garden furniture for ever.

When buying your synthetic rattan furniture make sure that it is good quality from a reputable supplier as buying a cheap set will almost certainly be false economy.
