Just take some baking soda and lemon juice and make a paste out of the two ingredients and then cover the entire chair in it using a rage to evenly distribute it. Leave it sit for a while in the sun, a few hours should be good, that way the sun has a chance to work with the lemon juice to brighten the color of the chairs.

Once you've let the paste sit for a while in the sun, you can start scrubbing with a scrubby pad. Be sure not to use a scrubbing pad that's too abrasive otherwise you might risk scratching the chairs which would make them look even worse. Then, you can spray them off with the water from your hose and see how they look.
