| Plastic Furniture Care Information |
Plastics in furniture are strong, but can be scratched, or dented by hard impacts, and damaged by excessive heat. Some are damaged by solvents. Most can be cleaned with mild detergent (hand dishwashing liquid) and water, rinsed, and wiped dry. Read labels of cleaning products to be sure they are safe for plastics, or the specific type of plastic to be cleaned. Never use abrasive cleaners like scouring powder.
