Use and Care Manual
INTERNAL USE
Wood products require more attention than some other materials.
When properly cared for, wood will last a long time and keep looking beautiful. To maintain the quality of your products, please follow the care procedures outlined below.
Storage and Use:
Store wood patio furniture indoors or cover well when not in use. Over time sunlight can fade and damage wood, so surfaces should not be left in direct sunlight
for prolonged periods. The Home Depot sells a large range of patio furniture covers designed to protect your investment.
In addition to light, extremely high or low humidity is a damaging environmental factor for wood. We suggest maintaining a relative humidity of 35-65 percent. Outside this range
cracking or splitting may occur and is not covered by our warranty.
Normal Cleaning:
Dust regularly with a slightly damp, soft, lint-free cloth. Wipe dry with a soft cloth in the direction of the wood grain. Spills should be wiped up
immediately with a damp cloth.
Monthly Cleaning:
Clean the surface with a soft cloth and a gentle cleaner such as ΒΌ cup mild dishwashing liquid with 1 gallon of warm water. Rinse with water, and then pat
dry with a lint free cloth.
Twice a Year:
After cleaning, apply a good quality oil to the wood twice a year. Examples include teak oil, linseed, or tung oil. Follow the oil manufacturers instructions for your
wood species.
Repair of minor stains and scratches:
Our products meet strict testing standards for resistance to wear, light, stains, and water. Rub the surface lightly with No. 0000 steel wool in
the direction of the wood grain. Apply a good quality oil with a color and value that simulates the existing wood color. If the damage is deep, consult a professional furniture refinisher.
