Use and Care Manual
Additional Care for Stainless Steel Products
If stains or rust are to occur on stainless steel, promptly clean the deposit. Stains left unaddressed can
become permanent.
Clean by using a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner / polish. Make sure to follow the cleaner
manufacturer’s instructions. Test in a small inconspicuous spot to ensure original finish isn’t affected.
When applying, remember to rub in the same direction as the metal grain. Rinse furniture thoroughly
with clean water. Lastly, dry thoroughly by wiping along with the grain.
Additional Care for Paint Finishes
This care is directed specifically to aluminum products such as: bird baths, stepping stones, statues,
urns, seating, tables and umbrellas. Periodically clean the finish with a soft sponge or washcloth using a
cleaning solution with ¼ cup mild liquid soap mixed in a gallon of lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly and
avoid abrasive cleaners. As for glossy finishes, we recommend waxing the finish with a high grade
automotive paste wax or any commercially available protectant to help maintain and/or restore luster
of the finish.
Additional Care for Fabric
Clean all spills promptly. Fabric life can easily be extended by just simply wiping down your cushions,
pillows, etc, with a damp washcloth regularly. Some suntan and sun block products can permanently
discolor any fabric. If cleaned immediately, this can greatly reduce the possibility of damage. In addition,
storing the cushions when not in use can extend the life of the fabric.
Prepare a cleaning solution by mixing ¼ cup of mild liquid soap into a gallon of lukewarm water. Clean
fabric with solution by using a soft sponge or washcloth. Do not forget to rinse the fabric with clean
water once done applying the solution. Finally, allow the fabric to air dry. Standing a cushion on its edge
will allow it to dry faster.
Additional Care for Wicker
For small stains on outdoor wicker furniture, use a mixture of ¼ cup of mild liquid soap in a gallon of
lukewarm water and a soft cloth or sponge to wipe the stain. Then rinse away the soapy suds with clear
water. For mold and mildew removal, add one cup of white vinegar to the solution.
For tough stains, use the same solution above in combination with a soft brush. This will help you get
into the nooks and crannies. Once all dirt and debris are scrubbed away, rinse thoroughly with plain
water and dry thoroughly.
How to Avoid Damage to Wicker
Be careful when handling it, do not press too hard on its slats.
If slats get broken or damaged, repair them by using the appropriate glue based on the material.
Allow ample time for the glue to dry before continuing to clean.
Do not use a stiff brush, a steel wool pad, or any hard abrasives on wicker.
Don’t let water pool on wicker, the moisture can result in spotting, deformity, or both.
