How Do You Clean An Outdoor Swing Set?
Outdoor swing sets over time can become dirty from natural sources. The backyard set does make a wonderful bird perch. Outdoor structures that are cleaned periodically also can deter insects such as paper and Southern mud dauber wasps from making nests in them during the summer months. The cleaning activities also can incorporate the children, especially as the method includes a garden hose and it can be accomplished on a single, warm summer afternoon. Spray the entire swing set down with water. Keep it wet during the cleaning process. Heavy particles such as mud or bird droppings will be removed more easily if left to soak first. Brush the heavier-laden dirty surfaces with the plastic scrub brush. Rinse the area to remove any streaking or spreading of the wet dirt. Add the recommended amount of cleaner to the plastic bucket. Follow label directions for mixing the cleaner with water. Fill the bucket with water. The amount of cleaner needed will depend on the size of the swing set. Work
