After a long winter, there’s just something about summer that feels like freedom. Backyard BBQs. Popsicles on the patio. Kiddie pools in the yard. Beach gear piled by the door. Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day weekends packed with friends, family, and all the beautiful chaos that comes with it.
But summer fun can also get… grimy.
From outdoor furniture covered in pollen and dirt to sticky coolers, stained cushions, grill grease, pool toys, and backyard gear that’s been sitting in storage since last year, summer entertaining season can definitely put your cleaning routine to work.
And if you’re trying to keep your home and outdoor spaces fresh without relying on harsh chemicals, bleach, or products that leave behind harmful fumes or residues, Force of Nature can help make summer cleanup feel a whole lot easier.
Force of Nature turns salt, water, and vinegar into a powerful cleaner, deodorizer, and EPA-registered disinfectant that kills 99.9% of germs when used as directed—all without harmful fumes or residues.
Here are some of our favorite ways Force of Nature can help you get ready for summer—and keep the fun going all season long.
1. Getting Grimy Stuff CLEAN
Whether you’ve got grimy outdoor furniture and accessories or long-stored lobster pots and other summertime party gear that hasn’t seen the light of day in a while, the first step is to clean. Cleaning the surface gets rid of any residue and provides a blank slate for a disinfectant to go to work. If there’s soil on a surface, it’s harder for the disinfectant to come into contact with the full surface and it won’t be as effective.
If you’ve ever wondered about the difference, this guide on cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting breaks it down even further.
Ready to clean? Here are just some of the summer essentials Force of Nature can help you tackle:
• Beverage Tubs
• Outdoor Furniture
• Outdoor Cushions, Pillows, and Hammocks
• Outdoor rugs and carpets
• Coolers
• Pool Rafts and Toys
• Goggles, Masks, Flippers, and Snorkels
• Kiddie Pools
• Grill Grates, Covers, and Knobs
• Tongs and Spatulas
• Cutting Boards
Basically: if it’s part of your summer setup, Force of Nature can help you get it fresh again.
2. Treating Stubborn Summer Stains
Once you hand out the popsicles, you’re really throwing caution to the wind!
If you want to keep your outdoor pillows and fabrics free of sugary accent colors, we’re here to help: Force of Nature is a powerful stain treatment and deodorizer! From food and drink spills to pet stains, mold, or mildew, start by saturating the fabric with Force of Nature and then rubbing with a soft cloth or brush to remove the stain. Let it dry, then wash the item according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Always test items for colorfastness before using any stain remover to ensure the dyes used were truly colorfast.
This can be especially helpful for:
• Popsicle drips
• Juice spills
• BBQ sauce splatter
• Grass stains
• Pet messes
• Outdoor mildew spots

Force of Nature can help you clean and disinfect:

4. Keep Summer Gear Fresher Between Adventures
Summer fun often means wet swimsuits, sandy gear, sticky pool toys, stinky camping gear, and outdoor accessories getting used hard and put away fast.
A quick clean-up routine can help keep your gear fresher between uses, whether that means:
• Pool toys after swim days
• Camping gear like tents and sleeping bags after trips
• Snorkels and goggles after beach trips
• Kiddie pools between uses
• Outdoor cushions after rainstorms
• Beverage tubs after parties
• Coolers after road trips
Because when you keep grime, mold and mildew at bay, you stay ready for the next summer adventure.
