What are the effects of grill smoke on eucalyptus outdoor seating surfaces?

Grill smoke can have several negative effects on eucalyptus outdoor seating surfaces. Over time, the smoke can cause discoloration, leaving a dull or yellowish tint on the wood. The oily residues in smoke may also penetrate the wood, making it harder to clean and potentially weakening its natural resistance to moisture and pests. Additionally, prolonged exposure to smoke can accelerate the aging process of eucalyptus, leading to faster wear and tear. To minimize damage, regularly clean the surfaces with mild soap and water, and consider using protective sealants or covers when grilling nearby. Proper maintenance will help preserve the beauty and durability of your eucalyptus furniture.
