Can marble outdoor ottomans withstand pressure washing?
Marble outdoor ottomans add elegance to any patio or garden, but many owners wonder if they can withstand pressure washing. The short answer is yes, but with caution. Marble is a durable natural stone, but its porous nature makes it susceptible to damage if not cleaned properly.
When pressure washing marble ottomans, use a low-pressure setting (under 1,000 PSI) and hold the nozzle at least 12 inches away to avoid etching or surface damage. Avoid harsh chemicals and opt for a mild, pH-neutral cleaner. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first.
For routine maintenance, gentle wiping with a damp cloth is often sufficient. To preserve the marble’s finish, apply a sealant every 6–12 months. By following these tips, your marble ottomans will remain stunning and functional for years.
