Care Tips
Regular Maintenance
Inspect your furniture regularly for any damage or wear. Tighten any loose bolts or screws as needed.
Keep cushions off the ground when not in use to prevent dampness and mildew.
During the winter months, cover your furniture with a waterproof cover or store it indoors to protect it from the elements.
Stain Removal
Fresh stains: Blot up spills immediately with a clean cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.
Dried stains: For dried stains, apply a small amount of patio furniture cleaner to the affected area and let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing gently. Rinse with a water hose.
Test in an inconspicuous area: Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area of the furniture first to ensure they do not cause discoloration or damage.

Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the furniture’s finish.
Protect your furniture from direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure can cause fading and discoloration.
Store cushions indoors or use covers when not in use to extend their lifespan.
