How to Clean Black Composite Furniture

Black composite furniture, such as outdoor patio furniture made from recycled plastics or indoor molded chairs, needs little maintenance. Whether you put it away in storage for the winter or use it all year round indoors or out, you should periodically clean it. Cleaning black composite furniture requires no special tools and is a task that can be completed with materials you probably already have at home.
