CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Aintwood is a plastic material that resembles wood and requires less maintenance in compa-
rison 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 and 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 may soften the material and disfigure it. The aluminium frame should not
require any maintenance. However, you should clean it, of course, and also paint it if starts to peel.
CLEANING
• Aintwood easily absorbs stains and so we recommend using coasters and placemats in order to
reduce the need for cleaning.
• For light stains, you can simply clean with soapy water and a cloth or sponge. For more stubborn
stains, for example, red wine, coffee and grease, you need to use a higher concentration of soap
in the solution and treat the stains. Apply plenty of soap solution and allow 5–10 minutes for it to
work. Then work the surface with a soft sponge in the direction of the boards. Do not work in the
sun as the surface may dry too quickly. Rinse well 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 protect the table surface from developing rain marks, from becoming dirty (for
example, from pollen) or 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 edge of
the cover for good ventilation. Always clean your furniture before storing it for the winter.
PLEASE NOTE!
Never use dark, coloured furniture protection or tarpaulins on light Aintwood furni-
ture. There is a risk of ‘migration’, i.e. colour from the furniture protection/tarpaulin being transfer-
red to the light plastic surface, which then becomes discoloured.
