Use and Care Manual

Outdoor Furniture Care & Cleaning Instructions
For daily care, wipe with a soft dry cloth. Wipe spills with a clean dry cloth. Avoid the use of
harsh cleaners and abrasives. Store indoors during long periods of inclement weather. Make
sure furniture is completely dry before storage. Cover furniture with outdoor covers when left
outside during inclement weather or when not in use. Use a proper outdoor cover that allows for
adequate ventilation without trapping moisture.
• For Outdoor Polypropylene Weave: All our poly-weave products need to be cleaned
and washed regularly when left outside. Simply start by wiping down with a damp cloth
or warm water. For tougher dirt use warm water and a non-abrasive household soap.
• For Teak & Acacia Outdoor Furniture: Teak and Acacia woods are naturally resistant
to the elements and the original color may weather and soften to a silver-grey patina if
left outside and untreated. To remove the silver-grey appearance and natural day–to–
day dirt, wash with warm soapy water using a soft scrub brush, stroking lightly in the
direction of the grain. Allow to dry completely. Commercial teak cleaners and oil may be
used to restore the natural color and luster of the wood.
• For Metal & Mesh Weave Outdoor Furniture: Wash frame with a mild solution of soap
and water; rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Cover furniture with outdoor
furniture cover when not in use. Before storing, drain all water that may have
accumulated around frame. Store indoors when not in use or during periods of inclement
weather.
• For Outdoor Furniture Cushions: Extend the life of your cushions by keeping them
free of dirt and foliage. Periodically shaking or rinsing the cushions is recommended.
Thoroughly flush using a hose with cold water to remove all soil and residue. For deeper
cleaning, spot clean with mild soap. Do not machine wash or use chlorine bleach. Stand
cushions on end and dry completely in the sun before using or storing. Do not place in
dryer. To prevent mildew, never wrap in plastic for storage and ensure the cushion is
completely dry before storing. Store indoors when not in use for long periods of time or
during inclement weather.
• For Outdoor Faux Concrete: Our faux concrete collections come with cleaning and
care instructions. We recommend mild soap and water to easily remove surface dirt or
food from non-porous surface.
• For Outdoor Poly-wood Furniture: Wash frame with a mild solution of soap and water;
rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. For oils or food rings/ stains use a mild
degreaser, such as citrus degreaser then wipe with a dry cloth.
