Outdoor furniture is prone to absorbing unwanted odors, especially from cigarette smoke. To keep your patio or garden furniture smelling fresh, follow these practical tips:

1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down surfaces with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent. For fabric cushions, use a fabric-safe cleaner or baking soda paste to neutralize odors.

2. Ventilation: Allow furniture to air out in direct sunlight, as UV rays help break down odor-causing molecules.

3. Odor Absorbers: Place bowls of white vinegar, activated charcoal, or baking soda near the furniture to absorb lingering smoke smells.

4. Protective Covers: Use waterproof, breathable covers when furniture isn’t in use to shield it from smoke and other pollutants.

5. Deodorizing Sprays: Apply a natural deodorizer like diluted essential oils (e.g., lemon or lavender) to refresh fabrics and surfaces.

By taking these steps, you can enjoy smoke-free outdoor furniture all season long!
