Use and Care Manual

Product Care Information
Thank you for your purchase! Your new outdoor living sets and accessories are designed for many years
of enjoyment with proper care. Please adopt the following practices to ensure the longevity of your
purchase.
General Cleaning
Regular cleaning should be done with a damp, non-colored, non-abrasive cloth soaked in clear water.
Use mild soap as necessary. Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners and power washers. Clean spills
immediately with a damp, non-colored, non-abrasive cloth and mild soap solution to avoid staining.
General Care and Maintenance
To protect the finish of painted metal products from scratches, dulling, and wear and tear, apply a clear
coat, such as an epoxy clear coat, at least once per year. If the finish becomes scratched or chipped,
move quickly to apply touch up paint to avoid exposure of the underlying metal to the elements. Lightly
sand the area to be painted with 600 grit or finer sandpaper. Wipe the area clean. Then, hold the paint
can 8-10 inches away from the surface and sweep the area applying a thin coat of paint each pass. Allow
the paint to dry between each coat. Alternatively, you may apply paint to a separate surface then use a
small brush to touch-up the scratched area. If you are repairing a finish that consists of more than one
color, first apply the base coat, then apply the highlight color using a small brush, per the methods
described above. You may want to test on a piece of cardboard or other surface before working on the
product. Touch up paint is available for purchase from the number below.
Tubular/cast iron products will eventually rust. More frequent maintenance and application of clear
coats, covering the sets when not in use to protect from exposure, and especially prompt attention to
scratches or chips will prolong the life of iron sets. However, because of the nature of iron, it will
eventually rust when exposed to humidity and/or the elements. Rusting or oxidation is not covered
under the Limited Warranty.
Using the product in a coastal environment places higher demand on the surface finish due to the
effects of salty/corrosive air. More frequent cleaning (weekly or biweekly) is necessary to remove any
buildup of salt residue. Quarterly application of a clear coat is necessary to maintain a strong surface
finish in this type of environment.
For all items, avoid exposure, especially prolonged exposure to harsh environments including rain, snow,
or other wet conditions, direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, and salty or corrosive air.
Products should be covered or brought indoors when not in use, especially when not in use for
prolonged periods of time, or when otherwise exposed to harsh weather such as winter. Do not put hot
items directly on furniture surface. Always use coasters, placemats, trivets, or hot pads. Do not clean
with harsh cleaners or polish. Do not place near heating or cooling vents. Do not write on furniture
without a padded barrier to protect the surface. To prolong the product lifetime, avoid extended and
lengthy exposure to direct rain or sunshine. All products are for residential use only. Not for commercial
use.
