CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Aintwood is a plastic material that resembles wood and requires less maintenance in comparison
with wooden furniture. Aintwood is dyed polystyrene that can withstand temperatures from
-25°C to +50°C. The material is recycled as rigid plastic and forms carbon dioxide when burnt.
GENERAL CARE
You need to clean furniture made from Aintwood regularly after use. Visible dirt and spillages
should be wiped away immediately. Never place hot objects (e.g. saucepans, cigarettes,
barbecue equipment) directly onto the table, as it may melt and leave ugly marks. Remember
that if you leave objects like drinking glasses/vases in strong sunlight, they can focus the sun’s
rays and cause burn marks in the table top. Aintwood furniture should not be left in glass
conservatories that are unventilated, as extreme temperatures of more than +50°C can be
reached. This will soften the material and disfigure it. The aluminium frame does not require
much maintenance. It should be cleaned when needed and perhaps painted if it starts to peel.
CLEANING
Aintwood table with matt finish
Aintwood with a matt finish absorbs stains more readily. Spills and raindrops are more
noticeable than with a gloss finish. Matt Aintwood therefore requires more cleaning than gloss
Aintwood. We recommend using glass placemats and a table cover to reduce the need for
cleaning. For light dirt stains, soapy water and a cloth or sponge will be sufficient. For tougher
stains, e.g. red wine, coffee and grease, a more concentrated detergent solution will be
required to remove the stains. Soak with the detergent solution for around 5–10 min. Then rub
the area with a soft sponge in the direction of the grain. Do not wash in direct sunlight to avoid
the surface drying too quickly. Rinse thoroughly with water. If necessary, repeat the process. If
you want to have a surface that is more resistant to dirt, you can treat Aintwood with a special
polish for Aintwood. It may make the surface shinier, with a slightly darker tone, but it will be
less sensitive to stains and easier to keep clean. Follow the instructions on the package.
STORAGE
Use a furniture cover to prevent the table surface from developing stains from the rain, from
becoming dirty (for example, from pollen) and from being bleached when you are not using
your furniture in the summer season. In the winter store your furniture indoors, in a place that
is cool and not too dry, for example a garage or store room. If you are using a furniture cover,
make sure that air can escape from the lower corner of the cover for good ventilation. Always
clean your furniture before storing it for the winter.
NOTICE! Do not apply dark coloured furniture protector to pale Aintwood furniture or cover
with tarpaulin. There is a risk that the colour from the anti-mould protection/tarpaulin can
be transferred to the pale plastic surface and cause discolouring.
PLEASE NOTE! This outdoor furniture is for private use only, in places where there is no
access to the general public; for example, private gardens, terraces, balconies, etc.
The Consumer Sales Act will only apply if this is observed.
