How to Clean Metal Deck Furniture

Outdoor metal deck furniture is constantly being exposed to the elements. Routine care and maintenance should be done on a weekly basis, especially if the furniture is used year round. If the furniture is stored until the springtime, a thorough cleaning is necessary before using it again. Common household products can get the furniture back to looking new.
