Tips for Different Materials:
- Wood Furniture: This cleaner works wonderfully on wood surfaces, but be gentle when scrubbing to avoid damaging the wood. You may also want to apply a wood sealant afterward to protect the finish.
- Metal Furniture: The vinegar will help remove any rust, and the baking soda will scrub away stuck dirt without harming the metal. However, after cleaning, you may want to apply a protective spray to prevent rust from forming.
- Plastic Furniture: Plastic tends to collect grime and stains more easily, but this DIY cleaner will do wonders without damaging the surface. A light scrub with the baking soda solution will leave your furniture sparkling clean.
- Cushions and Fabrics: While this cleaner is great for hard surfaces, for cushions or fabric pieces, you may want to test a small area first to ensure the solution doesn’t cause any fading or damage. For stains, consider using a mild fabric cleaner.
