Cleaning outdoor furniture can be a hassle, but baking soda paste offers a simple, eco-friendly solution. Here’s how to do it effectively:

1. Prepare the Paste: Mix 3 parts baking soda with 1 part water to form a thick paste. For tougher stains, add a few drops of dish soap for extra cleaning power.

2. Apply the Paste: Use a soft brush or sponge to spread the paste evenly over the furniture surface. Focus on stained or dirty areas, gently scrubbing in circular motions.

3. Let It Sit: Allow the paste to sit for 10-15 minutes. This helps break down grime and mildew without harsh chemicals.

4. Rinse Thoroughly: Use a hose or bucket of clean water to rinse off the paste. For stubborn residue, wipe with a damp cloth.

5. Dry Completely: Let the furniture air-dry or use a clean towel to prevent water spots.

Baking soda is gentle yet effective, making it ideal for wood, metal, and plastic furniture. Regular cleaning with this method keeps your outdoor space looking fresh without damaging surfaces. For extra shine, wipe with a vinegar-water mix (1:1 ratio) after rinsing.

This DIY approach saves money, reduces chemical use, and keeps your patio furniture in top condition all season long!
