CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Varieties of materials are used in construction of “Outdoor” furniture ranges.
All will require some form of maintenance to extend the life of finishes and general appearance.
Please see below instruction unique to your chosen product.
Munich Dining Range Construction;
Tops: Concrete
Base: Acacia Timber
Tops;
Cement & sand mixed and poured into a matrix or moulding frame, this produces a panel of
required size of 5mm thickness. Then a layer of fiberglass is applied to back of panel to add
strength and rigidity and during the assembly process a further support system is added a steel
frame to avoid flex. Once this is added another panel is added to seal all panels into a box.
Finishing is apply to surface sanding and a final coat of clear paint is sprayed on.
Care Instruction;
Please keep dust free, avoid leaving vegetation on surface as leaves and sap can leave stains
that can not be removed. Avoid leaving spills on surface as orange juice & alcohol are acidic and
will damage surface coating if left unattended for any length of time.
Regular cleaning please use a soft bristle dust pan brush or a soft clean cloth, using a hose is
permissible but not at high pressure, please pat dry as the trace minerals in water may leave a
mark once water has evaporated (Do Not Use Bore Water).
Included in packaging is a small can of wax, note this is for cleaning of grime build up.
Using a soft clean cloth you apply the wax in a circular motion to affected area, with this action
the wax then picks up the grime and retains the grime within its self, then with a soft clean coth
remove the wax taking the grime with it. Repeat if necessary. Note may not clean up all
especially any dye based grime and or chemicals.
Base: Acacia Timber
Natural finish on timber will require treatment to reduce swelling of timber from moisture
intake. Please apply a clear coating of decking oil (solvent based) once you have assembled and
follow advice from hardware specialist or from the can for future maintence.
Wood is a living material and over time minor cracks and colour changes will occur. This is a
natural reaction for timber exposed to the elements. Oiling is the key to reduce effects.
Definition of Regular Cleaning;
Numerus factors can influence the time frame for cleaning, depending area you live in, the
weather, positioning of the product (fully protected, partial protection, fully exposed to the
elements). You will need to monitor yourself to establish the cleaning requirement for your
unique situation.
Areas with high salt content and or pollution will require the most frequent cleaning.
To reduce some maintenance you should buy and use an outdoor cover to protect your
furniture from the elements when not in use.
