What are the effects of prolonged exposure to grill grease on PVC tables?
Prolonged exposure to grill grease can significantly damage PVC tables, leading to discoloration, surface weakening, and stubborn stains. Over time, the oils and fats in grease penetrate the porous PVC material, causing it to yellow or darken. The chemical composition of grease may also break down the plasticizers in PVC, making the table brittle and prone to cracking. Additionally, accumulated grease attracts dirt and bacteria, creating unsightly and unhygienic surfaces. To mitigate these effects, regular cleaning with mild soap and water is essential, while protective covers or mats can prevent direct contact with grease. For severe stains, specialized PVC cleaners may be required to restore the table's appearance.
