Cleaning Plastic Handrails

Plastic resins make durable handrails and outdoor furnishings. The materials typically have a protective coating that makes cleaning a breeze. Don't use alkaline cleaners, such as trisodium phosphate, or abrasive cleansing powders on plastic handrails. These cleaners can scratch the finish, which will attract dirt and make cleaning more difficult in the future. Instead, use mild household cleaners to remove dirt, grime and water spots.

You need bucket, liquid dish detergent, microfiber cloth, chlorine bleach, vinegar, spray bottle, butter knife and toothbrush. Fill a bucket with warm water and add three to four squirts of liquid dish detergent. Dip a microfiber cloth in the bucket and wring it out. Wash the handrail thoroughly with the cloth, scrubbing to remove scuffs and stains. Rinse the cloth in clean water and wring it out. Wipe the handrail to remove any soap residue.
