What are the effects of barbecue grease on pine outdoor seating surfaces?
Barbecue grease can have several negative effects on pine outdoor seating surfaces. Pine, being a softwood, is particularly vulnerable to grease stains, which can penetrate the wood and cause discoloration. Over time, accumulated grease can attract dirt and grime, making the surface look dirty and aged. Additionally, grease can break down the natural protective oils in pine, leading to drying, cracking, or warping of the wood. To prevent long-term damage, it’s important to clean grease spills immediately using mild soap and water or specialized wood cleaners. Regular maintenance, such as sealing or staining the wood, can also help protect pine seating from grease-related damage.
