Maintenance and Care Instructions
• This product may only be used for its intended purpose for residential premises. Any other uses
may affect the warranty.
• Kettler furniture is designed to be left outdoors all year round (excluding cushions). Cushions
should be stored in a dry ambient temperature when not in use. Failure to comply with the
outlined care instructions for the cushions will result in the warranty being invalidated.
• Kettler cushions are not suitable for dry cleaning and are not machine washable. Sponge clean
only. We recommend the use of the Kettler fabric care kit to clean and protect your cushions.
This is available to purchase form the Kettler website.
• We recommend to maintain and lengthen the life of this product you follow the below regime:
On wood areas:
1. Use our Hardwood cleaner.
First moisten the wood with water.
Apply the HARDWOOD CLEANER with a soft cloth or sponge. Allow to soak for 3 minutes.
Brush the furniture clean with a scrubbing pad in the direction of the grain.
Rinse furniture well with water.
We recommended that you treat your teak furniture with Hardwood cleaner once a year
at the beginning of April.
2. Use Instant Grey Protector for Elba
Apply a thin layer of Instant Grey Protector with a soft cloth.
Allow to dry for 1 hour and then the wood has turned driftwood-grey. (If you wish to have a
more intense grey colour, apply a second thin layer).
We recommended that you treat your teak furniture with Instant Grey Protector once a
year at the beginning of April.
3. Hardwood Shield
On grey teak: apply carefully by dabbing (rubbing damages the grey patina).
Make sure the Hardwood is 100% dry and free of dust.
Apply a thin layer of HARDWOOD SHIELD with a soft cloth. Allow to dry for one hour and then
apply a second thin coat of HARDWOOD SHIELD.
Let the wood dry for 48 hours before exposure to moisture and rain.
We recommended that you treat your teak furniture with HARDWOOD SHIELD twice a
year April & October.
On aluminium parts:
We recommend the Kettler Multi-surface cleaner when necessary.

Tree sap and bird droppings should be cleaned off immediately.
