Ceramic
Ceramic stands out for its exceptional hardness and resistance to a variety of elements, making it an ideal choice for enduring outdoor furniture. Its non-porous nature makes it highly resistant to staining and simplifies proactive cleaning.
Highly Resistant: Strong resistance to scratches.
Stain-Resistant: Prevents most common outdoor stains from penetrating.
UV Resistant: Withstands prolonged sun exposure without fading.
Non-Porous: Prevents water absorption.
Maintenance:
Effortless Cleaning: Can be easily cleaned using a simple sponge and an all-purpose household cleaner. Regular wiping prevents buildup.
Thorough Rinsing/Wiping: Ensure all cleaner residue is removed by thoroughly rinsing with water or wiping with a clean, damp cloth to avoid streaks or buildup.
Gentle Cleaning Tools: Avoid abrasive or polishing cleaners that could damage the surface finish.
Soft Brushes Recommended: Refrain from using hard brushes that could potentially scratch the ceramic. Opt instead for soft sponges, cloths, or soft nylon brushes.
Algae and Moss Removal: In damp or shaded outdoor areas, algae or moss may occasionally appear; these can typically be wiped away using a mild detergent solution applied with a soft brush or sponge.
Important Notes for Ceramic:
Avoid Abrasive Cleaners: Using abrasive cleaners can dull or scratch the ceramic surface.
Avoid Hard Brushes: Hard-bristled brushes can leave scratches.
