Maintenance

Teak

The amount of care required for Teak Timber is directly related to the amount of exposure the timber has to all weather conditions. If left untreated the natural oil in the timber will often retreat, causing the timber to take on a light grey/silver appearance. To restore the natural colourings of the timber it is suggested that a periodic sanding (using a fine grain sand paper e.g. 340 grit) and application of oil be used. It is recommended that all fittings are tightened every six months. This will prevent the frames from working loose. We recommend that teak furniture is covered with a breathable furniture cover or stored inside/undercover to extend its life.

Stainless Steel

To clean stainless steel frames wash down regularly with mild soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Hose regularly with fresh water to remove airborne contaminants. Warranty specifically excludes scratching, marking, corrosion and/or tea staining effect normally due to inappropriate or insufficient cleaning and upkeep of the surfaces. The grade of stainless sttel generally used unless otherwise specified is 304. This grade is commonly used throughout the furniture industry for its durability and resistance to corrosion.

Textilene Sling

Textilene can withstand an excessive amount of exposure to the elements however it is suggested that the material be washed down regularly either with warm fresh or soapy water and a soft bristle brush or a soft cloth to keep its „as new‟ appearance. To avoid stains, remove spills promptly. Heavy stains can be removed using ¼ cup bleach and ¼ cup mild detergent mixed with 5 litres of water, rinse thoroughly after cleaning. Do not use solvent type cleaners.
