Breathe new life (renew) into an oxidized PVC deck chair ready for tha landfill.

This short instructable is for renewing and re-using  a PVC Adirondack deck chair which is faded, oxidized and ready for the landfill. Thus diverting it from the landfill and extending the life the chair.

This is not Recycling but it is Re-using and Reducing

Friends of mine were about to turf these two Adirondack chairs.
They were faded and had a whitish oxidized plastic dry surface which would flake off,
transferred to clothing and leave a mess.
They tried many times to clean them to no avail.
I told them I could fix them up Good as new.
Naturally I was doubted, but see the results. My friends were astonished, you will be too.

What you will need for this green project is

Oxidized PVC deck chair, ready for the landfill.
One bowl with mild soapy water, biodegradable works fine.
One scrubby sponge ( scrubber one side sponge the other)
Water hose ( for rinsing)
Heat gun

Enjoy.

Step 1: Step 1

The first step is to clean the deck chair.
With the bowl of soapy water and scrubby sponge completely scrub down the deck chair.
after cleaning rinse the chair then let dry fully.
