Silver B end table cleanup?

[Jeff Boudman]

My end tables really need a cleanup. Does anyone have a good method?
Thanks.

I just scrubber the side tables with basic dish soap, and a bristle brush. Granted, they were not too greasy but, soap and a little scrubbing worked quite well.

Pressure Washer works wonders if you have one

@Bruce had suggestions here.

Did that left side table clean up easy? I have never tried to clean that type of table

Yep, pressure washer takes out almost anything on those and washes away the dirt “film” that covers them over the years.

Thermoset? The gray plastic kind?

If so, bleach (50/50 or stronger) is literally magic. Bruce has some threads on here about how he does it.

Just make sure to wear old clothes.

Yah, Pressure wash mine to start and then hit them with the bleach. 90% of them will come out beautifully. The last resort it sanding them. Yes, you can sand them and it doesn't destroy them. They really don't have a "grain" like wood so you can sand different directions. But this will save 9 out of 10 of those that need more than bleach. An orbital sander works great.
