What are the effects of bird droppings on untreated eucalyptus outdoor ottomans?
Bird droppings can have several negative effects on untreated eucalyptus outdoor ottomans. The acidic nature of bird droppings can cause discoloration, stains, and even weaken the wood fibers over time if left untreated. Eucalyptus, while naturally durable, lacks protective coatings when untreated, making it more susceptible to damage. Prolonged exposure may lead to surface erosion and a shortened lifespan of the furniture. To mitigate these effects, regular cleaning with mild soap and water is recommended, along with applying a protective sealant to preserve the wood. Addressing droppings promptly helps maintain the ottoman's appearance and structural integrity.
