" Dingy resin lawn chairs: Brighten white or light-colored lawn chairs with a solution of 3/4 cup household bleach and 1 tablespoon powdered or liquid laundry detergent mixed with 1 gallon warm water. Test on a hidden area to make sure plastic won&amp;#039;t discolor. Wear rubber gloves and scrub with a soft-bristle brush or sponge. Let mixture stay on the chair for five to 15 minutes, then rinse well.  Soiled deck cushions: If cushion is washable (check the label), use warm, soapy water or a foam-type cleaner. Rub on cushions with a damp sponge, rinse and wipe dry.   Grungy picnic table: To clean up unfinished wooden furniture, scrub surface with a mixture of 1 cup household ammonia, 1/2 cup vinegar and 1 gallon water. Rinse well and wipe with an absorbent cloth to remove excess moisture.  Mildewed patio umbrella: Open umbrella and carefully lay it on its side. Mix a solution of 3/4 cup liquid bleach and a squirt of liquid dishwashing detergent (make sure to choose one that&amp;#039;s okay to use with chlorine bleach) with 1 gallon warm water. Dab on inside seam first to test colorfastness. Never use bleach on acrylic prints -- it will cause fading; instead, check manufacturer&amp;#039;s label for cleaning instructions. Wear rubber gloves and use a soft-bristle brush to scrub one section at a time. Rinse fabric with a garden hose and dry metal hardware with a cloth. Let fabric dry before placing umbrella in stand.  Shabby wicker: Vacuum wicker with the soft-brush attachment to remove dust and flaking paint, then wipe with a damp cloth. If it still looks bad, sand or strip the piece and repaint.
