I have a white powdery residue on my green resin lawn chairs, even though I have cleaned them it still stays powdery. Is there anything I can do for this?
My Husband power-washed ours, and it did help, but they still are rough textured. They don't look wonderful, but at least they're not messing up our clothes when we sit on them, and they are 15 years old.
tried greased lightning, Afterwards, white film returned in moments.
I tried this on my resin chairs which were badly oxidized. Vinegar didn't do a thing. Neither did baking soda. What worked was a Brillo Pad and Barkeepers Friend with a lot of scrubbing. What was much easier was Clorox Pro Outdoor Bleach. (Sodium hypochlorite and Sodium hydroxide - generic brand $4/gallon). Hose off large dirt first. Wipe it on with a damp sponge. I wore nitryl or vinyl gloves with the cuffs duct-taped to rubber gloves.

I bought four white resin chairs at a yard sale. They are nice and sturdy, but when I started using them I found that a white chalk like film rubs off them onto my hands and clothing.
