Cleaning and Care
Regular periodic care of your Tropitone® furniture will maintain its
appearance and functionality better than occasional, heavy duty
maintenance. Consider the specific conditions and usage to which
your product is exposed so appropriate maintenance is provided.
Product failure caused by a lack of reasonable and necessary
care and maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.
Frames
Regularly tighten
all
hardware to avoid loosening which can lead
to bolt failure and product breakage. Replace missing hardware
(remove product from service until repaired).
Painted Finishes
Painted finishes are used on aluminum seating, tables and
umbrellas. Periodically clean the finish with a sponge or soft bristle
brush using a cleaning solution with 1/4 cup (2 oz.) mild liquid
soap in a gallon of lukewarm water (100º F / 38º C). Rinse
thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. For gloss finishes, we
recommend periodic waxing of the frame with a high grade
automotive paste wax or the use of a commercially available
protectant to help maintain and/or restore the luster of the finish.
Protectants can be purchased at most casual furniture retailers.
Caution:
In seaside use, salt can accumulate on the finish,
leading to finish failure. In indoor pool areas, chlorides can
accumulate on the finish, leading to finish failure. In both of
these environments, repeated cycles of condensation followed
by evaporation cause build-up of these aggressive corrosives.
Regular cleaning with mild soap and water will remove the
concentrated deposits and protect the furniture finish per the
above instructions.
Acrylic Table Tops
Avoid build-up of grease and stains by washing regularly with a
cleaning solution with 1/4 cup (2 oz.) mild liquid soap in a gallon of
lukewarm water (100º F / 38º C). Rinse thoroughly with clean
water.
Hint:
Occasional use of a high grade automotive paste wax
will help keep the acrylic table top looking new.
