It's a common worry for any outdoor space: what happens when chewing gum, candy, or another sticky substance meets your beautiful bench? You'll be pleased to know that our outdoor benches are specifically designed to handle these messy challenges with ease.
The secret lies in the materials and finishes. Our benches feature non-porous, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) lumber or powder-coated metal surfaces. These materials create a smooth barrier that prevents sticky substances from seeping into pores or cracks. Gum and adhesives simply sit on the surface.
For routine cleaning, a simple scrape with a plastic putty knife or credit card easily lifts most hardened substances. Follow up with a mild soap and water solution, and the bench looks as good as new. For tougher, gooier residues, a common household product like rubbing alcohol or a citrus-based cleaner applied with a cloth breaks down the stickiness without damaging the finish.
Beyond sticky surprises, this resilient construction also defends against sun exposure, moisture, and temperature swings, ensuring your bench remains a durable and low-maintenance fixture in your garden, patio, or commercial space for years. Choose an outdoor bench that offers not just comfort and style, but true peace of mind.
