There was rain threatened this morning but fortunately it held off and 6 happy GoodGymers met up at the Richmond Furniture Scheme to help out on one of our regular missions.
A couple of us dismantled some metal bedframes to make them easier to collect before the main task began - cleaning a number of plastic garden chairs which had gathered dirt and mildew before they were donated.
Armed with a washing-up bowl of soapy water, rubber gloves and sponges, we got to work scrubbing. Some of the dirt was difficult to remove but we still managed to do a pretty good job, before rinsing them down and getting a bit wet in the process.
We also cleaned an outdoor table before taking a break for tea, then we were briefed on moving some furniture from the main showroom to the storage unit, made a little more tricky by the fact that some pieces were hard to find amongst the rest.
Not the toughest mission today but we had good fun and were pleased to start the weekend with a good deed done. We'll be back at the RFS soon - look out for the listing!
