With the return of good weather, our PVC garden furniture emerges from hibernation. But between dust, stains, and the marks left by time, they often need a good refresh. The good news? No need for harsh chemicals. With black soap and an eraser sponge, you can restore shine and cleanliness to your furniture in a few simple steps.
Why black soap?
Black soap is a natural, biodegradable, and ultra-effective cleaner. Degreasing, stain-removing, and gentle on surfaces, it's perfect for PVC, which can dull or stain with overly abrasive products.
Materials needed:
-
Warm water
-
Your black soap
-
Soft sponge or microfiber cloth
Cleaning steps:
-
Dust the furniture with a dry cloth or a soft-bristled brush.
-
Prepare a black soap solution: approximately one tablespoon of liquid black soap in 1 liter of warm water.
-
Wash the surfaces with this solution using a sponge or cloth. Pay attention to stained areas.
-
Rinse with a clean, damp cloth or a garden hose.
-
For embedded marks (blackening, stubborn stains), gently rub with the moistened eraser sponge. It acts like an eraser without damaging the PVC.
-
Dry with a soft cloth to avoid water marks.
Additional tips:
-
Always test the eraser sponge on a small, inconspicuous area, especially if the PVC is colored.
-
Never use ammonia-based products or bleach: they can yellow PVC.
-
Store your furniture indoors or under a cover in winter to limit wear and tear.
Simple, effective, and natural cleaning ✨
