ENVIRONMENT ABOUT YOUR PRODUCT CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Congratulations, your pur-
chase of Arboria furniture
helps to support sustainable
forest management. Arboria
is dedicated to seeking out
high quality wood sources
which are grown and har-
vested using sustainable,
environmentally responsible
forestry techniques world-
wide. You can trust the Ar-
boria name for environmen-
tally conscious, exceptional
outdoor products.
Your furniture is made from
strong and durable hard-
wood that will provide many
years of handsome service.
Your furniture has been fin-
ished with a deep penetrat-
ing linseed oil based coating
that will preserve and en-
hance the wood’s natural
beauty. This factory applied
oil has UV-inhibitors and is
mildew resistant to protect
from the damaging effects of
sunlight and moisture, how-
ever, like all wood products
subjected to weather, small
hairline cracks may develop.
These should in no way im-
pair the strength and useful-
ness of the furniture.
To condition or recondition the wood in your furniture we recom-
mend usage of a number of widely available furniture oils. Condi-
tioning before first use is optional, but if choosing to do so, it is
easiest to apply prior to assembly. This conditioning will revitalize
the wood after what may have been a long duration since it re-
ceived its factory applied oil finish. Howard’s Orange Oil comes
in a handy spray bottle (www.howardproducts.com
,
1.800.266.9545), and Watco makes a series of quality products
including Teak Oil (www.westernwooddoctor.com
,
1.800.323.3584). Regular reconditioning will keep the furniture
looking its best. Before storing or covering for the winter is a good
time to recondition and to retighten bolts and screws that have
loosened with use.
After 12-48 months your furniture may have silvered under the
sun’s rays. This is a natural occurrence and is often viewed as a
favorable state. Alternatively, if you wish to recapture a darker
look, we recommend applying an oil stain. Two good options are
Cabot’s Stain (www.cabotstain.com
, 1.800.USStain) and Penofin’s
Hardwood Penetrating Oil Finish (www.penofin.com
,
1.800.PENOFIN). Both are widely available and contain solids
that will restore a darker color to the wood. Please be sure to fol-
low the manufacturer’s directions for preparation and application.
Clean fabric with a mild solution of warm water and dish soap (no
dishwashing detergent). Gently scrub soiled area with a rag or
sponge, then rinse with warm water.
