Are there any specific guidelines for using the Landscape Square table in areas with frequent use of outdoor insect repellents?

When using a Landscape Square table in areas where outdoor insect repellents are frequently applied, specific care guidelines are essential to maintain the table's integrity and appearance. These repellents, often containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus, can have adverse effects on certain materials. For tables with powder-coated metal or treated wood surfaces, prompt cleanup of any repellent overspray or spills is crucial. We recommend wiping the surface with a damp, soft cloth immediately after repellent use in the vicinity. Avoid allowing the repellent to dry on the table's surface, as certain chemicals may degrade protective finishes over time, leading to discoloration or reduced weather resistance. For long-term maintenance, consider applying a compatible protective sealant or wax designed for your table's specific material, creating an additional barrier. Furthermore, positioning the table so it is not directly downwind from common application zones can minimize direct exposure. Regular inspection for signs of chemical wear, such as dulling spots or texture changes, allows for early intervention. By integrating these simple practices into your outdoor routine, you can enjoy both effective insect protection and the lasting beauty of your Landscape Square table, ensuring it remains a durable centerpiece for your garden or patio gatherings.
