What are the best methods for preventing lichen growth on stone bar stools?

Lichen growth on stone bar stools can be unsightly and damaging over time. To prevent lichen, start by regularly cleaning the stone surface with a mixture of water and mild detergent. For tougher cases, use a solution of white vinegar or hydrogen peroxide to kill lichen spores. Applying a stone sealant can create a protective barrier, making it harder for lichen to take hold. Additionally, placing stools in sunny, well-ventilated areas reduces moisture, which lichen thrives on. For long-term prevention, consider using copper-based treatments, as copper naturally inhibits lichen growth. Regular maintenance and these proactive steps will keep your stone bar stools looking pristine.
