What are the effects of prolonged leaf contact on cedar outdoor loungers’ surfaces?
Prolonged leaf contact on cedar outdoor loungers can lead to several negative effects on the wood's surface. Leaves, especially when wet, release tannins and moisture, which can cause dark stains or discoloration on the cedar. Over time, this moisture retention may promote mold or mildew growth, further damaging the wood's integrity. Additionally, decomposing leaves can attract insects or lead to surface etching. To prevent these issues, regularly clean your loungers and avoid letting leaves accumulate for extended periods. Applying a protective sealant can also help maintain the cedar's natural beauty and durability.
