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.
Woven Resin Care
Resin weaves are virtually maintenance free, however; it is recommended to clean the frames on an occasional basis to prevent the build-up of dirt. In extreme climates where temperatures can reach above 100°, place furniture in 50% shaded areas. Cover your outdoor furniture with outdoor covers (sold separately) when left outside during inclement weather, and/or store when not in use. Finally, to maintain or restore the luster of your resin wicker, after-market products are available to refresh UV repellency and water repellency – apply as needed.
