Cleaning outdoor furniture with hemp oil wax is an excellent way to maintain its beauty and durability naturally. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you achieve the best results:
1. Prepare the Surface: Start by removing dirt and debris with a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Let the furniture dry completely.
2. Sand if Necessary: If the wood is rough or has minor imperfections, lightly sand it with fine-grit sandpaper (220-grit) to smooth the surface. Wipe away dust with a damp cloth.
3. Apply Hemp Oil Wax: Using a clean cloth or brush, apply a thin, even layer of hemp oil wax in the direction of the wood grain. Allow it to penetrate for 10-15 minutes.
4. Buff the Surface: After the wax has soaked in, gently buff the furniture with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove excess wax and enhance the natural shine.
5. Repeat for Protection: For optimal protection, apply a second coat after 24 hours, especially in high-moisture or high-use areas.
Hemp oil wax not only cleans but also nourishes the wood, providing water resistance and UV protection. Regular maintenance (every 3-6 months) will keep your outdoor furniture looking pristine for years. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can strip the wax and damage the wood.
For best results, work in a shaded area and store furniture under cover during extreme weather. Enjoy your refreshed, naturally protected outdoor space!
