To assess if your urban outdoor wood furniture requires annual treatment, start by conducting a simple water test. Sprinkle water on the wood surface - if it beads up, the protective coating remains effective; if it soaks in immediately, treatment is needed. Examine the wood for visible signs of deterioration including fading color, surface cracks, or a rough texture that indicates weathering. Check for moisture damage by pressing on the wood - soft spots suggest rot has begun. Consider your local urban environment: high pollution levels, intense sun exposure, and seasonal changes all accelerate wood deterioration. Most urban settings require annual treatment due to these harsh conditions. Look for mold or mildew growth, particularly in shaded areas, which compromises both appearance and structural integrity. If your furniture shows any of these signs, clean thoroughly with a wood-specific cleaner and apply a quality sealant or wood preservative. Regular maintenance not only preserves your furniture's beauty but extends its lifespan significantly, saving you replacement costs in the long run.
