    Yes, oven cleaner with lye. Don’t know if it actually works, just assuming it’s mold and that lye will kill the mold. Also assuming it shouldn’t melt the plastic, though it technically could I guess in some freak accident.

    The plastic in these chairs is very porous and a great place for bacteria and other stuff to hang out.

    edit: also don’t trust lemmy shitpost. There’s probably a professor in chair cleaning out there.

      They are talking about that weird chalky plastic oxidation and sun damage. As far as I know you have to strip a layer off one way or another to remove it.

        I thought the green-black was mold, but it may just as well be some kind of oxidation I guess. Though if that’s the case then maybe lye will melt it down anyway lmao
