POVL Outdoor only manufactures outdoor furniture using the finest materials and techniques available, ensuring long lasting and trouble-free enjoyment with only the most basic of routine maintenance. We recommend a brief cleaning of outdoor furniture twice a year.

Aluminum Cleaning
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.

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.
