Product Care

Outdoor furniture is built to last when cared for the right way. Here you’ll find straightforward guidance for teak, aluminum, fabrics, and more, making it easy to keep every piece in excellent condition season after season.

Teak Care

Teak is prized for its strength, durability, and natural beauty, making it an ideal choice for outdoor furniture. With minimal care, your teak furniture will remain attractive and functional for many years.

Natural Weathering

Many prefer teak’s natural transformation to a distinguished silver-gray patina, a process occurring over six months to two years of outdoor exposure. To maintain naturally weathered teak:

  • Clean gently 1-2 times per year using mild detergent, water, and a soft brush or sponge.

  • Use a specialized teak cleaner for deeper cleaning.

  • Occasionally sand lightly with fine-grit paper along the grain to smooth the surface.

Avoid pressure washers, harsh chemicals, bleach, steel wool, or stiff wire brushes, as these may damage or discolor the wood.

Preserving the Golden-Brown Color

To maintain teak’s original golden-brown color or for added stain protection:

  • Apply a high-quality teak sealer annually.

  • Consider using a teak protector to create an additional barrier against moisture and stains. Protectors with mold and mildew inhibitors are recommended.

  • Always apply sealers and protectors to clean, dry, and dust-free wood, following product instructions carefully.

Important Care Tips

  • Do use mild detergents, gentle brushes or cloths, and annual teak cleaners.

  • Do sand gently and always along the grain.

  • Don't apply general wood oils, varnishes, or paints—teak's natural oils make these unnecessary.

  • Don't use power washers or abrasive cleaning tools.

Understanding Teak’s Natural Characteristics

Teak naturally "bleeds" oils during the first few months. Avoid placing new teak on porous or light-colored surfaces initially. As with all natural wood, teak may expand or contract slightly with humidity and temperature changes, which is why our furniture often features slatted designs.

If storing teak furniture indoors during colder months, avoid rapid temperature changes to prevent splitting. Regular maintenance and proper care will ensure your teak furniture remains beautiful and functional for decades.

Aluminum Care

Our powder-coated aluminum furniture is stylish, lightweight, and highly resistant to corrosion, perfect for outdoor environments. The advanced powder-coating process ensures a durable, weather-resistant finish, significantly more robust than traditional paint.

To maintain your aluminum furniture:

  • Gently clean surfaces regularly using mild liquid detergent mixed with water.

  • Use a soft microfiber cloth or sponge for wiping.

  • Thoroughly dry after cleaning to prevent water spots.

Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh materials that can damage the protective finish. Proper care will keep your furniture looking pristine for years to come.

Rope Furniture Care

Our woven rope furniture combines comfort, durability, and style, crafted with a strong polyester core wrapped in weather-resistant acrylic yarn.

Regular Care

  • Brush off dirt regularly; promptly clean up spills.

  • Spot-clean stains immediately using mild detergent and lukewarm water (below 100°F).

  • Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely.

Tough Stains and Mildew

  • Mix a solution of four teaspoons household bleach, one teaspoon mild detergent, and one to one and a half cups lukewarm water.

  • Apply gently, soak for 15 minutes, then scrub lightly with a soft sponge or brush.

  • Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely.

Bleach Precautions

  • Remove cushions before cleaning and protect surrounding areas.

  • Avoid prolonged rope exposure to bleach; never use full-strength bleach.

  • Follow all safety instructions provided on bleach labels.

Regular, gentle cleaning keeps your rope furniture beautiful and extends its lifespan.

Performance Fabric and Cushion Care

Our cushions feature premium solution-dyed acrylic fabrics, offering exceptional comfort, durability, and resistance to fading and stains.

Routine Care

  • Brush off loose dirt regularly.

  • Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth.

  • For routine cleaning, use a mild detergent mixed with lukewarm water (below 100°F), gently apply, rinse thoroughly, and air dry.

Deep Cleaning

  • Apply a specialized fabric cleaner or mild detergent solution, gently scrub, rinse thoroughly, and air dry completely.

  • Consider reapplying fabric protector annually to maintain water and stain resistance.

Removing Mold or Mildew

  • Use a diluted solution of four teaspoons bleach and one teaspoon mild detergent per one to one and a half cups lukewarm water.

  • Apply gently, let soak for 15 minutes, lightly scrub, rinse thoroughly (at least three times), and air dry completely.

Important Notes

  • Test all cleaning solutions on a hidden area first.

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to bleach; do not use full-strength bleach.

  • Follow all safety guidelines on cleaning product labels.

Fabric Pilling

  • Pilling (small fiber balls) is natural, harmless, and typically diminishes over time.

  • Use a fabric shaver or pill remover to maintain appearance.

Simple, regular maintenance keeps your fabrics beautiful and enhances their lifespan.
