Caring for Aluminum Furniture

Deep Cleaning

Use a mild soap solution, and scrub, rinse, and dry as described. To remove rust stains or mold,

sand the area lightly using fine-grit sandpaper. Wipe it clean, and apply touch-up paint if needed

(available through the manufacturer) in several thin layers. Let dry between coats. Humidity may

affect the paint, so it's best to work on a dry day.

Maintenance

After cleaning, apply a coat of quality liquid or paste auto wax with a lint-free cloth if

recommended by the furniture's manufacturer. Use a silicone spray to lubricate swivels and

glides on chairs, as well as ribs and poles on umbrellas. Inspect for rust or chips regularly,

especially in hidden areas where the surface may be unfinished (even stainless steel can corrode

in salty environments).

Caring for Wicker Furniture

Deep Cleaning

To remove dirt and debris, vacuum with a dust-brush attachment or use a dry paintbrush. Clean

with a mild soap solution. Scrub, and rinse. Avoid using too much water, which can weaken the

fibers. Dry as described.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning is recommended for wicker, as it generally cannot endure harsh or abrasive

treatments. This also minimizes mildew buildup. Sand lightly with fine-grit sandpaper to remove

any peeling paint, and touch up with paint as necessary.Sunlight is the primary enemy of wicker.

Always cover wicker furniture if you intend to leave it
