There's an easy way to clean outdoor furniture...

Before you put away the outdoor furniture til next year, it's a good idea to clean it.

Cleaning outdoor furniture can be a real hassle, but there's an easy way to do it. Good old shaving cream! Just spray it on your plastic or aluminum furniture, or apply it with a sponge, let it sit 15 minutes, and then hose that furniture down with water. Shaving cream has mild cleansers that work fast, and a built in softener too. It rinses off easily, and you won't need gloves or harsh chemicals.

And while you're at it, make sure to get some of that shaving cream under your fingernails. It's great at removing dirt from there too.
