How to Get Rid of Mildew on Lawn Furniture

Your lawn furniture pieces are meant to be used outside and thus these items may get wet from time to time. This moisture could cause mildew to appear on the lawn furniture if the pieces were put away before they fully dried off. You may consider just trashing lawn furniture with mildew on it as this mildew can cause a very foul odor. But a common household item can get rid of any mildew found on your lawn furniture, letting you keep and use it.
