Specific Maintenance Details

FSC Timber

Clean with a stiff brush once per year, especially in more 
exposed locations, in order to prevent a verdigris type 
build up on the timber surface. Ideally this should be 
completed in early spring. During the cleaning stage, 
all exposed timber surfaces should be inspected for 
splits and splinters. Any splinters and graffiti should 
be removed and the surface sanded with 100 grit 
sandpaper in order to remove any uneven / sharp edges 
or surfaces.

During the first few months after installation the tannin 
naturally occurring in the timber may leach out and 
cause a brown staining on the bases. This may be 
removed with a light solution of household bleach and 
water.

Stainless Steel

 (polished stainless steel only)

Clean as required, but at least every three months, using 
a stainless steel polish and a lint free cloth. To remove 
ground in dirt, a stainless steel finishing pad may be 
required.

Polyester Powder Coated & Galvanised

For general cleaning using a damp cloth and warm 
soapy water only. Scourers and abrasive cleaners are 
NOT suitable for this type of finish and may damage it. 
Before using any cleaning agents to remove graffiti etc. 
try on a small, inconspicuous area first to avoid causing 
more unsightly damage.

Granite / Concrete

Clean with a stiff brush once per year, especially in 
more exposed locations, in order to prevent a verdigris 
type build up on the surface. Ideally, this should be 
completed in early spring.

Repairs

FSC Timber

For light damage, please see section on specific 
maintenance details above. For instances of heavy 
damage, the timber item should be replaced. Please 
order against the part number reference in the 
reordering section towards the end of this manual.

Stainless Steel

Light damage (surface scratches etc.) can be removed 
using an emery pad (240 grit) and freeing oil such as 
‘WD40’. Care should be taken to follow the direction 
of the brushing grain. It is recommended that a trial 
repair be carried out on an unimportant surface first. No 
corrosive cleaners or other abrasives should be used. 
Any contamination, particularly carbon steel scuffs from 
vehicles, should be quickly removed to avoid corrosion.

Polyester Powder Coated & Galvanised Surfaces

For light damage (scratches, chips etc.) repair using 
touch-up paint to match original colour (available 
from Factory Furniture Ltd). Paint application should 
be carried out in accordance with approved methods 
detailed by the paint manufacturer. Please note that 
it is advisable to use professional painters to achieve 
best results when touching up larger areas. Products 
for respraying larger areas are available from Factory 
Furniture Ltd
