Aluminum Care
Aluminum furniture generally requires a minimum of maintenance. Metal furniture, however, can attract dirt and stains and therefore needs periodic cleaning. To clean, wipe the frame with a soft cloth or sponge containing a mix of warm fresh water and mild detergent. If the furniture is stored near the coast, it will need to be cleaned more frequently using fresh water and soap. Do not be too rough on your furniture to avoid causing dents, as this can damage the surface.
Cushion Care
While resistant to fading and moisture damage, for best results, keep cushions away from extended exposure to moisture and direct sunlight. Should they get wet, always allow cushions to air-dry thoroughly before storage. Light stains/spots can be treated with mild, non-abrasive household cleaner. Consult a professional for heavy soiling. Mold and mildew will grow on dirt and spills. Spot cleaning as needed and regular maintenance will help prevent this from occurring.
Rope Care
Sunset West crafts their rope furniture out of olefin rope, which is all-weather, colorfast, and stain resistant. Blot spills gently, and clean stains with mild soap and water and a soft cloth or very soft bristle brush. Do not use a coarse bush, or any abrasives when cleaning, as this may damage the rope and cause fraying. Cover your outdoor furniture with outdoor covers (sold separately) when left outside during inclement weather, and/or store when not in use.
