Hello there! Spider webs are not very appealing let alone in places you are trying to relax. There are a couple of things you can try..
#1, Use a garden hose with spray nozzle and give things a good hose down.
#2, Use a duster. The only issue in using a duster is the webs are going to stick so I would try using a disposable brand that you can throw away after.
#3 Use a vacuum. I do recommend keeping an extension cord nearby. I also recommend using the tools and extensions that at entirely plastic. If you the tools with bristles the webs will get stuck and be very hard to remove where with the all plastic tools you can just rinse off. Better not to resolve one problem while giving yourself a new one in the process. :)
#4, You can use soap and water. The slickness of the soap will make removing those pesky webs effortless!
#5, This is a technique best used after you've removed the webs to prevent spiders from coming back and nesting.
Mix two tablespoons of dish soap into warm water. Add 5 drops of Tea Tree oil and 1 oz. of Neem oil. Put in a spray bottle and spray in all the areas you find webs and notice spiders. Spiders do not like the taste of these essential oils so this should help them from returning.
**FYI: Make sure to keep the spray solution away from small children and pets as Tea Tree oil can be harmful if ingested.
Of course you can use a bleach solution or insecticides and being this furniture is outside you wouldn't have to worry about the chemicals being in your home. However, the essential oils proves to work very efficiently and does not carry toxins so is much safer as it deters, doesn't kill and will be much safer for the environment and any critters that might pass through.
I hope all of this helps and you're able to use some of these suggestions to your benefit. Good luck with your spider webs!
Thank you I'll try all great suggestions
