TOP CARE TIPS FOR YOUR OUTDOOR SETTING

Aluminium

Best Suited for:
Sun-soaked decks and patios. Can be used at holiday homes or baches where low maintenance is important.

After Each Use:
To keep your aluminium setting looking fresh, it is recommended to bring cushions inside or store in a cushion box, and cover the aluminium frame. Cushions left outside for sustained periods will potentially fade.

To Clean Aluminium Furniture:
  1. Remove all cushions.
  2. Use a garden hose (do not use a pressure washer) to completely wash down furniture.
  3. Mix together a cleaning solution such as mild soap and lukewarm water.
  4. Use a soft bristle brush to gently clean the furniture.
  5. Wash it down

Wicker

Best Suited for:
Outdoor areas protected from long exposure to sun. Using umbrellas or sun-shades is an easy way to provide shade for yourself and the furniture.

After Each Use:
To prolong the life of the wicker setting, it is recommended to bring cushions inside or store in a cushion box, and use a furniture cover to protect the wicker from the harsh sun.

To Clean Wicker Furniture:
  1. Remove all cushions.

Wood

Best Suited for:
Outdoor areas protected from long exposure to sun. Using umbrellas or sun-shades is an easy way to provide shade for yourself and the furniture.

Before First Use:
To prolong the life of wooden outdoor furniture, it is recommended to rub in an outdoor furniture oil. Available from Target or any hardware store. Periodically re oil to ensure the timber does not dry out.

After Each Use:

Regular oiling will protect the timber from the harsh outdoor environment. Every 6 months, it is recommended to re-tighten the screws, especially on dining chairs and benches.

Teak

Best Suited for:
Sun soaked decks and patios.

Before First Use:
To protect the Teak top, we suggest to use Golden Care Teak Cleaner to provide a level of dirt & moisture repelling. The existing patina finish needs no initial treatment, over time it will continue to grey, this is not a fault. If you wish to maintain the original colour of the teak for longer and slow down greying process, then use the Golden Care Teak Protector.

After Each Use:
To keep your outdoor settings looking fresh, it is recommended to bring cushions inside or store in a cushion box, and use an outdoor cover.

To Clean Teak Furniture:
