STEP THREE: REMOVE DUST AND DEBRIS

START BY USING A DRY, SOFT CLOTH TOWEL TO GENTLY DUST OFF THE SURFACE OF THE GARDEN SEAT
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO CREVICES AND DECORATIVE DETAILS WHERE DUST MAY HAVE SETTLED
YOU CAN USE A SMALL, TOOTHBRUSH TO REACH INTO INTRICATE PATTERNS WITHOUT DAMAGING THE DESIGN

STEP FOUR: PREPARE CLEANING SOLUTION

MIX A SMALL AMOUNT OF MILD DISH SOAP WITH WARM WATER IN A BUCKET
MAKE SURE THE SOAP GENTLE TO AVOID DAMAGING THE PORCELAIN FINISH
FOR STUBBORN DIRT, YOU CAN CREATE A PASTE WITH BAKING SODA AND WATER TO GENTLY SCRUB OFF ANY GRIME AND STAINS

STEP FIVE: GENTLY CLEAN THE SURFACE

DIP YOUR SOFT TOWEL INTO THE SOAPY WATER, THEN WRITING IT OUT TO AVOID EXCESS MOISTURE
WIPE DOWN THE ENTIRE SURFACE OF THE GARDEN SEAT, INCLUDING THE BASE, SIDES, THE DECORATIVE AREAS
USE CIRCULAR MOTIONS TO LIFT WAY DIRT AND GRIME

FOR HEAVILY SOILED GARDEN SEAT

PLACE GARDEN SEAT ON ITS SIDE
WET DOWN THE ENTIRE SURFACE OF THE GARDEN SEAT, INCLUDING THE BASE, SIDES, TOP, AND INTERIOR WITH WATER FROM HOSE OR BUCKET

WITH BRUSH, IN A CIRCULAR MOTION, REMOVE THE DIRT AND STAINS
DO THIS IN SMALL SECTIONS
RINSE AND CONTINUE UNTIL THE SEAT IS COMPLETE
PLACE IN TEH SUN TO DRY

STEP SIX: FOCUS ON SUBBORN SPOTS

IF YOU ENCOUNTER STAINS OR SUBBORN DIRT, APPLY A PASTE OF BAKING SODA AND WATER DIRECTLY TO THE AFFECTED AREA
LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN GENTLY SCRUB WITH YOUR TOOTHBRUSH
BE CAREFUL NOT TO USE TOO MUCH PRESSURE, AS THIS COULD SCRATCH A PORCELAIN

STEP SEVEN: RINSE AND DRY

RINSE THE GARDEN SEAT WITH A GARDEN HOSE OR A CLEAN, DAMP CLOTH TO REMOVE ANY SOAP RESIDUE
MAKE SURE TO WIPE OFF EXCESS WATER WITH A DRY TOWEL IMMEDIATELY AFTER RINSING TO PREVENT WATER SPOTS FROM FOAMING
AVOID LEAVING IT WET FOR TOO LONG

STEP EIGHT: APPLY PROTECTIVE POLISH (OPTIONAL)

TO RESTORE SHINE AND PROTECT THE DESIGN, YOU CAN APPLY A LIGHT OF WAX MADE FOR CERAMIC OR PORCELAIN
BUFF IT GENTLY WITH A SOFT CLOTH TO GIVE IT A SMOOTH FINISH AND PROTECT THE SURFACE FROM DIRT BUILD UP
