To help you keep your outdoor space clean, I've put together a handy guide using a few Truly Free products. By now, you won't be surprised by these awesome tips I've gathered to make your life easier!

How to Clean Outdoor Furniture Using OxyBoost

Cleaning outdoor furniture can be a breeze with OxyBoost. This method is particularly effective when your outdoor cushions and frames are heavily soiled from storage or during peak pollen season. Follow these steps to get your furniture looking pristine.

What You’ll Need:

• Truly Free OxyBoost
• Cleaning Bucket
• Cleaning Cloths (I love the Truly Free Eco-Cloths)
• Cleaning Brush (optional)
  
  

Step 1: Prepare the Furniture Cushions & Upholstery

Begin by shaking out your cushions to remove any loose debris such as leaves, bugs, and other accumulated dirt.

Step 2: Mix the Cleaning Solution

Once the cushions are free of loose debris, fill a bucket with 2-4 scoops of non-toxic OxyBoost and add warm to hot water, ensuring you use at least two gallons. Stir the solution well to activate the OxyBoost.

Step 3: Clean the Furniture Upholstery and Frame

Dip a cleaning cloth into the solution and thoroughly wipe down each side of the cushions. For stubborn stains, focus on those areas with the OxyBoost solution using a scrub brush or cloth, and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Then, clean the frame, removing cobwebs and dust. Once all stains are tackled, rinse everything with clean, warm water.

Step 4: Dry and Reassemble

Allow your furniture and cushions to dry completely in the sun. Once dry, place the cushions back onto the frames, and your outdoor space is ready for entertaining again!

Quick Tips:

• For furniture without cushions, such as wicker or wood pieces, simply use the OxyBoost and water mixture in the same way for effective cleaning.
• Always do a patch test to ensure color fastness in an inconspicuous area.
