What are the effects of tree sap or bird droppings on WPC bench surfaces?

WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite) benches are popular for their durability and low maintenance, but they can still be affected by natural elements like tree sap and bird droppings. Tree sap, when left untreated, can harden and create a sticky residue that may attract dirt and make the surface look dull. Over time, it can also penetrate the material, potentially causing discoloration.

Bird droppings, on the other hand, contain acidic compounds that can etch the surface of WPC benches if not cleaned promptly. This may lead to minor surface damage or staining, especially in lighter-colored benches.

To maintain your WPC bench, regularly wipe off tree sap and bird droppings with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn residues, a soft brush or specialized outdoor cleaner can help. Proper care ensures your bench remains attractive and functional for years.
