GET CLEANING

A pressure washer is also perfect for sprucing up garden furniture, and it can clean tools including the lawnmower. Just make sure you’re careful not to get water on the electrics. After cleaning, wooden garden furniture may need restaining, teak may need oiling and metal might need a repaint. Always sand items down first for a much better finish.
