Apparatus for washing folding chairs. The apparatus comprises a housing having a channel therethrough dimensioned for receiving a folded folding chair. A continuous conveyor belt conveys chairs through the channel as first one, then a second cylindrical brush assembly scrubs the alternate sides of the chair to loosen foreign matter, assisted by sprays of a cleaning liquid, from the chair's surfaces. Then, the chair passes between rinsing nozzles to rinse off the loosened foreign matter and cleaning fluid. The chair then exits the housing and passes between two perforated tubes blowing air on its sides to remove excess rinse water. The brushes both turn in the same direction so that one turns with the advancing chair and the other turns against the advancing chair for more thorough cleaning. Panels return the chair to the folded condition in the event it begins to unfold in the channel. Easily-removable, windowed apertures on both sides of the apparatus allow inspection of the progress of the chairs and access for maintenance.
