Fabrics Care & Cleaning Instructions

   
Maintenance free Outdoor Patio Furniture with Sunbrella outdoor cushions

MOST STAINS ON SOLUTION-DYED ACRYLIC FABRICS CAN BE CLEANED UP WITH A MILD SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. Solution-Dyed Acrylic fabric should be cleaned regularly before substances such as dirt, etc., are allowed to accumulate on and become embedded in the fabric. The fabrics can be cleaned without being removed from the piece. Simply brush off any loose dirt, etc., clean with warm water (no more than 100 O F) and mild natural soap. Rinse thoroughly to remove soap. When using liquid detergent, it may be necessary to re-apply a water repellent treatment, such 303 Hi Tech Fabric Guard or a similar product. Solution-Dyed Acrylic is made from 100% acrylic fiber and is heat sensitive. When washing or cleaning, DO NOT SUBJECT TO EXCESSIVE HEAT as the fabric will shrink. DO NOT STEAM PRESS OR DRY IN ELECTRIC OR GAS DRYERS. Allow fabric to air dry.

In case Solution-Dyed Acrylic fabric is used during the winter season, it should be cleaned, allowed to air dry and stored in a dry, well ventilated area. For stubborn stains, please see the Acrylic stain cleaning Chart for more specific cleaning instructions.

ALUMINUM FRAMES
We recommend that you wash your furniture periodically with a mild liquid soap such as car wash soap. Scuff marks on the frame can be removed with a very light abrasive -- grade 0000 steel wool is recommended. If the frame is scratched down to the bare metal, we recommend sanding THE AFFECTED AREA ONLY with 400 grit sandpaper. Then apply matching colour top coat. Factory-matched touch-up paint may be available from your dealer.

WINTER MAINTENANCE
Furniture that will be stored outside or in other cold areas should be drained of any water to avoid ice damage in the tubing. We recommend covering our furniture if being left out through the winter, covers for all of our furniture are available for purchase.
