Cleaning resin garden furniture is easy! It is practically maintenance free but you should give it a good once over each year. Remove the cushions and inspect the piece. You can give it an overall cleaning with a garden sprayer or wash with soapy water and then spray down. If there are scratches or marks, you can use a mild abrasive to remove them. If you find mold or mildew use a solution of 1 gallon of water, 1 cup bleach and 2 cups detergent. You can also buy a special resin cleaner that claims to get rid of pollution stains on your furniture. It comes in a can and you spray it on - I've never tried it myself so I can't say how well it works! When the outdoor season is over, you should bring your furniture inside, or at least cover them with furniture covers to protect them from the harsh winter elements.
You may want to buy some cushions for your resin garden furniture as it does not breath well and can make for clammy sweaty seating. Make sure you get cushions that resist mold and are waterproof if you will be keeping them outside. On the upside, resin does not get hot when standing in the sun and is extremely resistant to chlorine and suntan oil making it a perfect material for pool furniture.
