Maintaining outdoor furniture in organic gardens requires eco-friendly solutions that won’t harm plants or the environment. Here are the most effective natural cleaners:
1. Vinegar Solution: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water for a powerful, plant-safe cleaner that removes dirt and mildew. Add a few drops of essential oil for fragrance.
2. Baking Soda Paste: Combine baking soda with water to create a gentle scrub for tough stains on wood or metal furniture. Rinse thoroughly afterward.
3. Citrus Cleaner: Use lemon juice or orange peels soaked in vinegar to break down grime while leaving a fresh scent. Ideal for plastic or resin furniture.
4. Castile Soap: Diluted with water, this plant-based soap cleans without toxic residues, perfect for woven or delicate materials.
5. Hydrogen Peroxide: A mild disinfectant for mold or algae, especially useful in humid climates. Test on a small area first.
For best results, clean furniture during cooler hours to prevent streaking. Regular maintenance with these natural methods keeps furniture pristine and gardens chemical-free.
