Instructions for Proper Care & Maintenance: OutDesign Group recommends following the care and maintenance instructions below in order to ensure the longevity and appearance of your outdoor furniture. Aluminum Frames: All rust-free aluminum frame finishes are electrostatic powder coat and require minimal maintenance. We recommend rinsing the furniture frames with a mixture of gentle soap and water. Spray wash the frames with the soap and water mixture followed with a freshwater rinse. For salt environments, please engage in this process on a weekly to bi-weekly basis to avoid salt build-up which will lead to corrosion. During the winter months, please store furniture indoors if possible or store frames in an upright position for water drainage purposes. Aluminum frame structure may crack and /or separate if water accumulates and freezes inside the frames. Slings: Use a gentle soap and water mixture to clean slings on a regular basis to avoid dirt, mildew and suntan lotion build-up. Mildew only grows on surfaces that have collected dirt over time because it is organic. In most cases the mildew can be removed. Teak: Vacuum to remove loose dirt. Prepare a cleaning solution of: 2 ounces (1/4 cup) dishwashing liquid or a teak cleaner per gallon & 8 cups of lukewarm water. Use a sponge or soft cloth to clean. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Allow to air dry. Maintenance Tips: We recommend that you apply high-quality oil once or twice a year in order to keep your teak in its natural oiled state. Make sure that the teak is perfectly clean and dry before you treat it to prevent any fungus growth. Never use steel wool, bleach, household-type furniture oils or a pressure hose when cleaning and maintaining teak. Do not use plastic vinyl or tarps if you choose to cover teak as this will hold in moisture. When you scrub the teak harshly, you are removing softer wood, that will results in an uneven surface. Rockstone/Fiberglass Tops: Use mild dish soap and warm water mixture to remove dirt and stains. Umbrellas: Clean fabric canopy with soap and water mixture to remove stains. For stubborn stains, apply bleach and water solution and brush lightly. Rinse thoroughly. Warranty cancellation may occur if furniture is not tended to properly.
Properly maintained furniture will give you years of enjoyment! OutDesign Group 100 East Linton Blvd., Suite 403 A Delray Beach, FL 33483 Ph: 561.922.6160 Fax: 561.894.3665
