What are the effects of tree sap on the surface of marble outdoor planters?
Tree sap can have several negative effects on the surface of marble outdoor planters. Over time, the sticky substance can seep into the porous marble, leading to stubborn stains that are difficult to remove. The acidic nature of some tree saps may also cause etching or dull spots on the marble, compromising its natural shine and smooth texture. Additionally, if left untreated, sap can attract dirt and debris, further degrading the appearance of the planter. To prevent damage, it’s advisable to clean sap spills promptly using a mild, pH-neutral cleaner and to consider sealing marble planters to reduce porosity. Regular maintenance will help preserve the beauty and longevity of marble planters in outdoor settings.
