URBAN OUTDOOR FURNITURE

For individuals with allergies, selecting outdoor furniture requires careful consideration of materials that won't trigger allergic reactions. Fortunately, several hypoallergenic options exist that combine durability with allergy-friendly properties. Aluminum furniture stands out as an excellent choice since it's naturally resistant to mold and doesn't trap pollen or dust. Synthetic wicker made from resin or polyethylene provides the aesthetic appeal of natural wicker without the porous surfaces that can harbor allergens. Glass tables offer a completely non-porous surface that's easy to clean and doesn't accumulate outdoor allergens. Powder-coated metal furniture creates a smooth, sealed surface that prevents allergen accumulation. Teak wood, while natural, contains natural oils that resist mold and moisture buildup. For cushions, opt for solution-dyed acrylic fabrics with tight weaves that prevent dust and pollen penetration. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water helps maintain these materials' hypoallergenic properties. Avoid porous materials like untreated wood and natural wicker, which can trap pollen, mold spores, and other common outdoor allergens. By choosing these specifically engineered materials, allergy sufferers can create comfortable outdoor living spaces without compromising their health.
