USE&CARE INSTRUCTIONS
TIPS TO PROTECT & CARE FOR YOUR FURNITURE
1. Avoid placing your furniture in direct sunlight, as sunlight causes fading.
2. Avoid extreme changes in temperature by arranging furniture away from radiators, heat & air
vents, & air conditioning units.
3. Avoid placing plastic or rubber materials (lamp bases, notebooks, placemats, etc.) on you
furniture, as certain plastics contain ingredients that may damage the finish.
4. Periodically rotate accessories on furniture so they do not sit in the same spot all the time.
5. Use pads, cloth or felt to protect the furniture surface from plastic, rubber, hot dishes
beverages, bookends, flowerpots, & vases.
6. Clean up spills immediately, using a blotting rather than wiping action, as water left over a long
period of time will cause white spots in the finish. Alcohol, perfume, after-shave & medications
can cause severe finish damage.
7. Use a protective pad when writing on the furniture surface.
8. Lift & place objects rather than dragging them across the furniture surface.
9. Avoid placing furniture directly under windows.
10. Use cutting boards and trivets for food preparation in order to avoid damaging the top for
the unit.
OUTDOOR CUSHION CARE
Our cushions are made from a high density polyester foam, and the covers are made from a moisture
resistant polyester blend. This does not mean they are waterproof! We do not recommend leaving
cushions out in inclement weather, and if cushions become wet, please dry them immediately by
removing the cushion from the cover so they can dry separately. Wring out any excess moisture
before drying. Air dry only! Cushion covers are machine washable (gentlest cycle with like colors
and cold water), and we recommend separating the cushion cover from the core for any cleaning
purposes. Cushions should be stored and covered when not in use to protect them from rain,
sunlight, and other staining agents.
OUTDOOR FURNITURE STORAGE
We highly recommend storing any outdoor furniture during the winter/rainy seasons. Before
storing your furniture, please ensure all moisture collected in the frame tubes has been drained
and wipe dry. When outdoor furniture is not in use, we recommend covering all the furniture to
protect it against the elements. If outdoor furniture is caught during a sudden rain storm, please
make sure to drain any water that may have accumulated inside the frame and wipe dry
Our covers are made from heavy gauge and reinforced vinyl making them waterproof. We
recommend hand washing in lukewarm water and allowing to fully air dry before reusing or
storing. We do not recommend using a washing machine or soaps and detergents as it may
destroy the protective coatings. Remove the covers periodically to check for moisture build-up.
Due to the corrosive nature of salt, extra care must be taken due to the higher salinity in the air
as well as the possibility of direct contact from sea spray. Keep outdoor metal/wicker furniture
covered when not in use, and rinse with fresh water on a regular basis to prevent salt accumulation.
Make sure to drain any water that may accumulate inside the frames after rinsing. Additional
protection in the form of protective transparent sealer is recommended as well.
