Outdoor furniture adds charm to your patio or garden but requires regular maintenance to withstand weather conditions. Using jojoba oil as a natural sealant is an eco-friendly way to clean and protect wooden furniture. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Prepare the Furniture: Remove dirt and debris with a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn grime, mix mild soap with warm water and gently scrub the surface. Rinse thoroughly and let it dry completely.
2. Apply Jojoba Oil: Pour a small amount of jojoba oil onto a clean, lint-free cloth. Rub it evenly into the wood, following the grain. Jojoba oil penetrates deeply, nourishing the wood and creating a protective barrier.
3. Buff the Surface: After applying, let the oil sit for 15–20 minutes. Then, use a dry cloth to buff away excess oil, leaving a smooth, polished finish.
4. Repeat as Needed: For optimal protection, reapply jojoba oil every 2–3 months, or more frequently in harsh climates.
Jojoba oil is non-toxic, water-resistant, and enhances the wood’s natural beauty. This method ensures your outdoor furniture stays clean, durable, and visually appealing for years.
