How does natural rattan’s moisture absorption affect outdoor sofa cushion mold risk?
Natural rattan is a popular material for outdoor furniture due to its durability and aesthetic appeal. However, its moisture absorption properties can impact the risk of mold growth in outdoor sofa cushions. Rattan naturally absorbs moisture from the air, which can transfer to cushions, creating a damp environment conducive to mold.
To mitigate this risk, ensure proper ventilation and use moisture-resistant cushion materials. Regularly drying cushions and treating rattan with protective sealants can also help. Understanding these factors allows for better maintenance and prolongs the lifespan of your outdoor furniture.
