Everyday maintenance
Your product is subject to external elements, it must therefore be regularly cleaned.
Remove stains immediately.
Clean with a damp cloth soaked in warm soapy water (or hot water for more marked dirt) or a specific,
adapted product.
Rinse thoroughly.
Finish with a clean, dry cloth.
If in doubt, consult a reseller or the material sheet on the Hesperide.com website.
In the absence of regular cleaning your product will imperatively deteriorate.
Cushions care instructions
Wash by hand in warm water. Do not dry-clean, do not use the tumble dryer, do not use the iron. Leave to
dry in the sun before putting the cushions back in place.
Weather conditions (wind, rain, snow, hail, salty winds)
The outdoor furniture is designed to be used in normal outdoor weather conditions. Strong climatic hazards
or exceptional weather conditions can have repercussions on the look, correct use and lifespan of the
product. It is strongly advised to use tarpaulin with a ventilation system during the season when the furniture
remains outside.
Rain and humidity
If it is left out in water, the furniture will take several days to dry. Nothing abnormal in that, but ensure that
you wipe it to prevent the water from stagnating on it. The presence of prolonged humidity speeds up the
product ageing and favours the appearance of rust indeed mould.
Temperature conditions
Outdoor furniture is not made to bear low temperature conditions, even less winter temperatures, which are
likely to alter its correct operating and its surface condition. it is also sensitive to ambient humidity. It is
therefore advised to store it in a dry, ventilated and closed place. Putting a tarpaulin on it is therefore not
necessary. Before any siding, clean and dry the products well, to prevent the appearance of unpleasant
odours or mould. If you do
not have a dry, ventilated and closed place, the use of tarpaulin with a ventilation system is essential to cover
the furniture that remains outside. A protective tarpaulin in fact reduces the impact of external aggressions
(damage due to trees, animals, pollution,...) over its lifespan. If the floor is damp, it is advised to insert a
wedge between the floor and the feet to avoid a transfer of humidity. In the event of a table that spends
winter outside, giving a slight angle also prevents water and dead leaves collecting on the tarpaulin.
In the event of prolonged non-use, if the storage and tidying away recommendations are not followed, the
result will be an accelerated deterioration to its surface condition and its correct operating.
Protection of the screws and bolts
Steel is a material that exposed to external elements (humidity, salty winds) will naturally oxidise. To prevent
the appearance of rust, our steel furniture is delivered original with an Epoxy treatment. However this layer
gradually disappears under the effect of external elements and must be renewed regularly. For this, apply an
anti-rust aerosol at least once at the beginning and end of the season (available in hardware shops or DIY
shops). Increase the treatment frequency every 3 months for furniture exposed to salty sea winds.
The screws and bolts must also be the subject of such a treatment.
If the rust appears despite all that, it can easily be treated and removed with the usual products such as
white vinegar or citric acid. A cloth soaked with car polish can also allow you to remove the rust spots. Finish
with an anti-rust spray to protect the furniture, to apply regularly.
