CARE & MAINTENANCE
Varieties of materials are used in construction of “Outdoor” furniture ranges.
All will require some form of maintenance to extend the life of finishes and general appearance.
Please see below instruction unique to your chosen product.
Lido Range Construction;
Table Tops: Tempered Glass
Frame: Aluminium
External Covering: Synthetic Wicker
Textile: Polyester “Spun Poly”
Glass panel:
Glass used is tempered for your safety; best results are to use table cloths, placemats &
coasters to avoid scratching surface. Keep dust free, clean underside of glass with a soft clean
cloth. Use of normal glass cleaning product is permissible but please rinse surrounding areas
with clean water to avoid damage to other materials used in construction of item.
Aluminium Frame:
The majority of frames are mainly produced from aluminium, with the main benefit being a
light weight product for easier use. Some designs require steel to be used in certain sections for
added strength. While aluminium is rust resistant, bare metal can show signs of oxidation (red
film) this does not constitute rust. Simply you are able to wipe or sand surface to remove
oxidation mark.
Note you will need to touch up affected area with paint to stop from reoccurring. Steel itself has
a lower resistance to elements than aluminium and will show signs of rust as it ages. Limited
exposure & maintenance are best solutions for adding life to any furniture used in outside
areas.
Aluminium Frame Maintenance
Use a bucket filled with warm water & a soft soap, sponge over frame till clean, once clean rinse
off with a hose, pat dry with a soft clean cloth before use. Every 4-6 weeks.
Note when cleaning if you find scratches in paint please cover with a paint to prevent oxidation.
