How to care for your furniture
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
Wash furniture with a solution of mild soap and water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. To metal frames,
apply a fine, clear automobile wax for maximum protection against harmful ultraviolet exposure and
salt air.
HOW TO CLEAN WOVEN FURNITURE
Leisure Made woven furniture is made of durable extruded polyethylene resin. Light stains and soils
may be removed with a solution of mild soap and water, rinsed, and dried thoroughly. Mildew and
heavy stains can be removed with a quality commercial outdoor furniture cleaner and protectant.
HOW TO CLEAN WOOD FURNITURE
Left alone to age, the natural color of wood furnishings will weather to a soft, silver grey.
Imperfections, which are inherent properties of the wood, will show over time, enhancing the beauty
of the furniture. In humid or wet climates, or after rains, the wood may naturally expand and
contract, causing the grain to rise. This is to be expected with exposure to the elements.
Use a soft bristled utility brush and stroke lightly in the direction of the grain to remove surface dust.
For more stubborn dirt, the wood may be washed with a mild solution of dishwashing soap, then
rinsed thoroughly and allowed to dry completely. Oiling the wood may cause mildew or irregular
coloring. Never pressure wash wood furniture.
HOW TO CLEAN FABRIC
Wash outdoor cushions with a solution of mild soap and water and rinse thoroughly. Stand cushions
on end and allow to air dry completely. Light stains can be removed as above. For mildew and heavy
stains, remove cushion covers and treat with a commercial quality outdoor fabric cleaner. Do not dry
clean or use a washing machine or dryer. Do not steam or use water at temperatures above 100°F
when washing. Do not use bleach. Do not use solvents. Do not use chlorine-based cleaners.
