Outdoor furniture can easily absorb smudge stick smoke, leaving behind unwanted odors and residue. To prevent this, follow these simple yet effective tips:

1. Use Protective Covers – Cover your furniture with waterproof or breathable fabric covers before burning smudge sticks. This creates a barrier against smoke absorption.

2. Position Furniture Strategically – Place your furniture upwind or at a safe distance from where you burn smudge sticks to minimize direct exposure.

3. Clean Regularly – Wipe down furniture surfaces with a mild soap solution after smudging to remove any lingering smoke particles.

4. Apply a Protective Sealant – For wood or metal furniture, consider using a sealant or wax to create a protective layer that repels smoke.

5. Opt for Smoke-Free Alternatives – If possible, use electric diffusers or incense cones instead of traditional smudge sticks to reduce smoke buildup.

By taking these precautions, you can enjoy the benefits of smudging without compromising the cleanliness and longevity of your outdoor furniture.
