How to prevent composite material outdoor ottoman color stratification?

Composite material outdoor ottomans are popular for their durability and style, but color stratification—uneven fading or discoloration—can occur over time due to environmental factors. Here’s how to prevent it:

1. Choose UV-Resistant Materials: Opt for ottomans made with UV-stabilized composite materials to minimize sun-induced fading.

2. Apply Protective Coatings: Use a clear UV-resistant sealant or spray to shield the surface from harsh sunlight and moisture.

3. Regular Cleaning: Clean the ottoman with mild soap and water to remove dirt and pollutants that can accelerate color degradation.

4. Use Covers or Shades: When not in use, cover the ottoman or place it under a shaded area to reduce direct sun exposure.

5. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Refrain from using abrasive cleaners that can strip the protective layers and cause uneven fading.

By following these steps, you can maintain the vibrant color of your composite ottoman and extend its lifespan outdoors.
