Use and Care Guide

Metal
Metal furniture is hardy, durable and long-lasting. However, with
improper care it can become susceptible to oxidization and
consequently degradation.
• Always clean metal furniture with a damp cloth or sponge. For
tougher stains and marks, use non-detergent soap but always be
sure to wipe down surfaces after you have finished.
• Never use abrasive scrubbers as they can scratch the surface and
increase the chance of rust and oxidation. Cover scratches and
nicks with touch up paint or another appropriate substance.
• Regularly check furniture joints for signs of oxidation and treat
damage immediately. Oxidation on aluminum furniture should
be treated with a mixture of white vinegar and water.
Outdoor
Outdoor furniture is designed to be resilient and to cope with practically any environmental extremity.
However, there are still some steps that you can take to ensure your furniture lasts as long as you need
it to.
• When not in use, consider storing your furniture indoors or covering it with a tarpaulin. This will
extend its lifespan and make it easier to clean.
• Avoid covering metal furniture with a plastic tablecloth as this can trap water and humidity and
increase the chances of oxidization.
• If you wish to preserve the patina of your wooden outdoor furniture, consider applying 2 coats of
an appropriate oil. Eucalyptus furniture, for example, works best with clear hardwood oil.
