Why it is important

We are a family run business, and we know the importance of transparency and what to expect from your outdoor furniture.

Regular cleaning reduces the chances of mould, mildew, oxidation and daily wear. A quick clean 4 times a year is the best chance to keeping your investments at tip top shape.

Powder coated furniture cleaning instructions

Dust off first using a soft dry or damp sponge or cloth. Mix a small amount of dish soap with warm water and use a soft sponge or cloth to gently scrub the surface, paying attention to corners or joints.

Tougher stains like bird dropping or tree sap, use a stronger solution of mild soap with warm water or 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and warm water. Avoid using abrasive sponge or cloth.

Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose on a gentle setting to wash away all soap residue.

Dry thoroughly in the sun or to avoid water spots and leave the surface looking clean use a towel or clothe to thoroughly dry.
