How does the porosity of natural stone impact maintenance for outdoor loungers?

The porosity of natural stone plays a crucial role in the maintenance of outdoor loungers. Highly porous stones, like limestone or sandstone, absorb moisture, dirt, and stains more easily, requiring frequent sealing and cleaning to prevent damage. Less porous stones, such as granite or slate, are more resistant but still need periodic care.

To maintain porous stone loungers, apply a high-quality sealant every 1-2 years to repel water and stains. Clean spills immediately with a pH-neutral cleaner to avoid etching. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can degrade the stone’s surface. Regular brushing with a soft bristle brush removes debris without scratching.

For long-term durability, place loungers in shaded areas to minimize weathering. Understanding your stone’s porosity ensures proper care, keeping outdoor loungers beautiful and functional for years.
