How to Clean White Powder Off of Lawn Chairs

When spring rolls around, most homeowners get the urge to dig out their lawn chairs to enjoy the pleasant weather. However, if your plastic lawn chairs are covered in a white powder, it is possible that they have become covered in dust, pollen or mold. You will need to give your lawn chairs a thorough and proper cleaning before setting them out for use for the spring, summer and fall seasons.
