Stainless Steel Cleaning and Care
Stainless steel is a material of great purity and thanks to its high chromium content, it does not oxidize. Metal furniture, however, can attract dirt and stains and therefore needs periodic cleaning. To clean stainless steel furniture, wipe the frame with a soft cloth or sponge containing a mix of warm fresh water and mild detergent. Always wipe with the direction of the grain of steel, not across. For more stubborn stains or brown surface spots, replace the above-mentioned cloth/sponge with a fine grit non-abrasive Scotchbrite pad. Never use abrasive cleaners or cloths.
Cleaning Slings
Regular maintenance will help extend the life of the fabric. We recommend cleaning the fabric twice yearly for moderate use, or more often for heavy-use applications. To clean fabric slings, prepare a solution using 1 tbsp. liquid dish detergent and 2 tbsp. bleach mixed in 1 gallon of fresh warm water. Clean the fabric using a sponge or soft cloth dipped in the solution. Be careful to avoid getting this solution on the teak or stainless steel furniture frame. After cleaning, rinse the fabric thoroughly with fresh water and allow it to air dry.
You should avoid putting your sling fabric in direct contact with oil-based products such as suntan lotion, which may cause the fabric to discolor or age more rapidly. If direct contact occurs, clean the fabric promptly to remove any lotion or oil residue.
