Outdoor furniture is exposed to harsh elements like sun, rain, and dirt, making regular cleaning essential. Using a jojoba oil spray is a natural and effective way to clean and protect your furniture while avoiding harsh chemicals. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:
1. Prepare the Furniture: Remove any loose dirt or debris with a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn grime, wipe the surface with a damp microfiber cloth.
2. Mix the Jojoba Oil Spray: Combine 1/4 cup of jojoba oil with 2 cups of warm water in a spray bottle. Add a few drops of lemon essential oil for a fresh scent (optional). Shake well before use.
3. Apply the Spray: Lightly mist the solution onto the furniture surface. Avoid oversaturating, especially for wooden pieces.
4. Wipe and Buff: Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe the furniture in the direction of the grain (if applicable). For deeper conditioning, let the oil sit for 10 minutes before buffing.
5. Repeat as Needed: For heavily soiled furniture, repeat the process. Regular cleaning every 4-6 weeks helps maintain the finish.
Jojoba oil nourishes wood, metal, and wicker while forming a protective barrier against moisture. It’s an eco-friendly alternative that keeps your outdoor furniture looking great year-round!
