PRODUCT CARE & MAINTENANCE
Fabric Information
Fabrics
used in outdoor product are not made of any special type of material; they do however use blends
of common materials such as polyester, olefin & acrylic which perform best for intended purpose. These
fabrics are not impervious to fading or mould, ensure cushions are always dry and put away when not in
use.
Fabric Maintenance
It is important to keep fabric free of dust and or debris. Please vacuum at least every 2-3 weeks. Spot
cleaning warm water & soft soap solution, sponge onto affected area till clean rinse area with clean
sponge, pat dry with a soft clean cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with fabric cleaner or if available
steam cleaning is ok providing covers are left on filling and on gentle setting. Note do not use solvents,
do not machine wash, do not tumble dry.
Glass Maintenance
Glass
used is tempered for your safety; best results are to use placemats & coasters to avoid scratching
surface. Keep dust free, with floating glass please lift and 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 wicker or paint on aluminium frame.
Textilene Sling Information
The Textilene sling is a synthetic material made from a mixture of fibres of polyester covered with a
sheath of PVC, able to withstand compressive stresses, strains, atmospheric agents and UV rays.
For outside use properties of material have a proven track record, while still subject to fading strength
will remain even after colour starts to fade. Shelf life again depends on location & environment, regular
cleaning & storage for best results for longevity.
Textilene Sling 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. Ensure not left wet for long periods of
time to avoid mould build up.
Aluminium Frame Information
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.
