Sage smoke is often used for cleansing and relaxation, but it can leave lingering odors and stains on outdoor furniture. To protect your furniture, follow these simple yet effective tips:

1. Use Protective Covers – When burning sage nearby, cover your furniture with waterproof or tightly woven fabric covers to block smoke absorption.

2. Apply a Sealant – Treat wood, metal, or wicker furniture with a protective sealant to create a barrier against smoke particles.

3. Keep Furniture at a Distance – Position your furniture away from where sage is burned to minimize direct exposure.

4. Clean Immediately – If smoke settles, wipe surfaces with a mild soap solution or vinegar-water mix to prevent deep absorption.

5. Choose Smoke-Resistant Materials – Opt for synthetic or treated materials like aluminum, teak, or powder-coated metal, which resist odors better.

By taking these precautions, you can enjoy sage rituals without worrying about damaging your outdoor furniture. Regular maintenance will also help extend its lifespan.
