Recycled Plastic Planters - FAQs

Wash your recycled plastic planters with a mild soap and water solution regularly to keep them clean. If you want to give them a deep clean and disinfect them, remove the soil, use a cloth or brush to remove any remaining soil particles, and wash the planters with soapy water before rinsing clean.
