URBAN BENCHES

Recycled plastic park benches are a fantastic, eco-friendly choice for public spaces, known for their durability and resistance to rot and insects. However, to keep them looking their best for years, a simple maintenance routine is key. First, regular cleaning is essential. Use a mild soap or detergent mixed with water and a soft-bristled brush or cloth to remove dirt, pollen, and bird droppings. For tougher stains, a diluted vinegar solution can be effective. Always rinse thoroughly with a hose. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or pressure washers set too high, as these can damage the bench's surface. Secondly, consider applying a UV-protectant spray designed for plastics once a year. This helps prevent fading and brittleness caused by sun exposure, which is the primary cause of color loss. Finally, inspect benches periodically for any cracks or damage, though repairs are rarely needed. By following these easy steps—gentle cleaning, UV protection, and routine checks—you can ensure your sustainable benches remain attractive, functional, and a point of pride in your community for decades.
