These Tips Will Make Your Dinner-Party Dreams a Reality This Summer

After enduring countless rain showers, snowstorms, and, unfortunately, quite a bit of bird poop, your dining tables and chairs need a good wipe-down. To remove the buildup of grime, dilute some Clorox Disinfecting Bleach with CLOROMAX® with water. Place the solution in a spray bottle, and disperse it over the furniture. Let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe it down. For wicker and wood furniture, apply the same process using soap- and vinegar-based cleaning solution.

Next up, the seating. Chances are, you don't have enough chairs inside your apartment or house to accommodate your group. Get creative! Go picnic-style and place down a few blankets, or consider renting fold-out chairs, which can be as little as $2 a person.
