House Wash'n Wednesday: Was a Washout!

And we thought spring was here. 
House Wash'n Wednesday: raining and cold in the Ozarks

Today in the Ozarks the temperature is fighting to get into the mid 40s and rain and drizzle is expected all day. I will have to push everything forward one day. I was to wash off a deck, clean the pools deck and patio area along with cleaning the patio furniture but weather in the Ozarks is just unpredictable at times.

Thought I would post up some furniture cleaning, stripping and washing that I have done, for "House Washing Wednesday". This service grew out of our outdoor kitchen cleaning, customers wanted there furniture cleaned up too, and some wanted it stripped for refinishing. Since I worked at our family's antique hardware store and we finished custom wood and metal pieces, furniture and antiques it was a good fit with my business. I had the background and knew what to use and what would work. I pulled a series of photos from a couple of job of cleaning patio furniture; wood, metal, wicker and even vinyl. Cleaned by Pete has done these jobs and taken the photos. I'm sorry if I have to keep posting that and posting our name on all photos and work but someone is borrowing our work and representing it as theirs, just trying to slow them down a bit. Well at least they are taking it form the best. 

If we can help you with your cleaning need we're only a phone call away: 417.459.7869.
