Use and Care Manual

Metal Furniture Care
Because most metals, except aluminum, are subject to rust, metal furniture is usually finished with
layers of clear varnish, paint, or a durable powder coating. To clean, use a mild soap solution, scrub,
rinse and dry. On outdoor furniture, make sure to drain any water that may accumulate inside the
frames after rinsing. After cleaning, apply a coat of quality liquid or paste wax with a lint-free cloth. Use
a silicone spray to lubricate swivels and glides on chairs. If metal outdoor furniture is caught during a
sudden rain storm, please make sure to drain any water that may have accumulated inside the frame
and dry completely. Please always cover the furniture when not in use, and store properly during
inclement weather and the winter/rainy seasons. On indoor furniture, do not use abrasives or products
such as Brasso © as this may lead to the accidental removal of antique finishes and also to staining or
damage to surrounding areas of fabric (IE Bed Buttons).
