Short answer: a good lounge set requires little maintenance. Clean the frame a few times a year with water and mild soap, let the cushions dry thoroughly and protect the set out of season with a cover.
Aluminium
Use lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and pressure washers, as these damage the powder coating. Rinse and let dry.
Teak
Untreated teak naturally turns a beautiful silver-grey. If you want to keep the warm honey colour, clean the wood with a teak cleaner and then protect it with a teak protector. You can find these in our garden accessories.
Rope and wicker
Brush away dirt with a soft brush and then clean it with lukewarm soapy water. Let the set dry thoroughly before replacing the cushions.
Cushions
- After a shower, stand cushions upright so they dry faster.
- Many cushions have removable covers: wash them according to the label.
- Store cushions in a dry place if you are not using them for an extended period.
Out of season
A good cover keeps out dirt, leaves and moisture. Make sure the cover is ventilated and that no water collects on it. Also read which garden furniture can stay outside.
