How does pine’s resin exudation affect outdoor ottoman maintenance?
Pine resin exudation can significantly affect the maintenance of outdoor ottomans, leaving sticky, stubborn stains that are challenging to remove. When pine trees drip resin onto ottomans, it not only creates an unsightly appearance but can also attract dirt and debris, further damaging the material. To address this, regular cleaning is essential. Use a mixture of rubbing alcohol or vinegar with warm water to dissolve the resin gently. For tougher stains, a commercial resin remover may be necessary. Additionally, placing your ottoman away from pine trees or using protective covers can prevent resin buildup. Proper maintenance ensures your outdoor furniture remains durable and visually appealing for years.
