1. Wipe and wash
During the long and tedious winter, you might have left some of the outdoor furniture outside. If they are made of metal or copper then you only need to use a hose and thoroughly wash them and then place soft cushions. You also might want to wash the entire floor or deck. Use a pressure washer or rent one in order to detailedly power wash any debris and dirt left in between the stone patio or wooden deck. Take the broom to wipe off the leaves or other leftovers that have spread all around the garden. You might also want to swipe the edges and corners around the deck because dust and cobweb might be hidden from a naked eye.
