Keeping your wicker urban outdoor furniture free from pollen and city dust requires consistent care and preventive measures. Start by regularly dusting the furniture with a soft-bristled brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove loose particles. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth, then rinse with a hose and allow it to air dry completely.
Consider applying a protective sealant designed for wicker furniture to create a barrier against dust and pollen. When not in use, cover your furniture with breathable, waterproof covers to shield it from environmental elements. Additionally, placing your furniture in a sheltered area, such as under a patio roof or awning, can minimize exposure.
For stubborn pollen or dust buildup, a mixture of water and vinegar can be effective for cleaning without damaging the weave. Avoid using harsh chemicals or high-pressure washers, as they can harm the wicker material. Regular maintenance not only keeps your furniture looking great but also extends its lifespan in urban environments.
