Cushion Care

Storage

• Store the cushions in a cool, dark and dry place.
• The cushions can tolerate the influences of the sunlight quite well. If, however, the cushions are exposed to bright sunlight for a long time, a difference in colour may occur.

Cleaning

For Olefin Fabrics:

• To remove stains, sponge lightly with a mild solution of natural soap and lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
• Stubborn stains can be removed using a solution of 50ml of household bleach in 1 litre of warm water. Sponge the stain lightly or use a soft bristle brush to remove the stain. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water. Allow fabric to air dry.

DO NOT DRY CLEAN.

For Polyester Fabrics:

• To remove stains, sponge lightly with a mild solution of natural soap in lukewarm water then rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
• Allow fabric to air dry, out of direct sunlight.

DO NOT USE BLEACH BASED CLEANERS.

Maintenance

• Brush off dirt regularly, only do this when the fabric is dry.
• Always adhere to the washing instructions mentioned on the label.
• Washing by hand is preferable.
• Never leave the cushions in water with a detergent for too long. Rinse the cushions thoroughly.

Wood Care

Maintenance

Please note: All wooden products needs to be kept under a covered patio

The maintenance of wooden products can be done in 2 different ways. You can either choose to oil your set regularly or to put a sealant/varnish on your set once a year. For detailed description of each, please refer below.

Cleaning

Use a dry, clean cloth to dust your furniture weekly and help maintain its lustre and prevent staining.

For Maintenance and Care using oil:

Please remember that when you oil your set for the first time the natural colour of the wood will come out (Some sets will have natural flames/grains that will come out). The colour may darken or have a wet appearance all depending of the type of wood.

For the first 6 months your set needs to be oiled every month with Woodoc Patio Oil or any other treatment oil with a wax base. Important note: Use oil that is colourless.
Thereafter the set needs to be oiled every 2nd month.

Since wood is living and breathing, it expand and contract due to weather conditions and we strongly recommend tightening bolts and screws during the winter months.

For Maintenance and Care using a sealant/varnish:

We recommend using Rystix Sealants which come in 2 options: Namely water based and solvent based.

Water based: We recommend 2 initial coatings on untreated wood or clean wood. Thereafter application will range from 6 months to 9 months depending on the exposure to weather conditions. This product has a matt appearance.
Note: Before re-application the set needs to be cleaned thoroughly, we recommend washing your set with sugar soap.

Recommendations

Solvent based: We recommend 2 initial coatings on untreated wood or clean wood. Thereafter application will range from 9 months to 12 months depending on the exposure to weather conditions. This product has a glossy appearance.
Note: Before re-application the set needs to be cleaned thoroughly, we recommend washing your set with sugar soap.
