Care & Maintenance

What Is Care & Manteinace?

Furniture requires regular care and maintenance. We have put together these care tips so you can enjoy and take the best care of your furniture.

How do I Care for Leather

We strongly suggest treating your leather purchases with X Shield leather protection. If leather is soiled, it can be wiped with a soft, damp cloth using a lather of any mild white soap with lukewarm water

How Do I Look After Outdoor Furniture?

Maintenance Basics. Wipe down with a slightly damp or dry cloth to loosen and remove dirt and debris. Give the surface a deeper clean with material-appropriate cleaning products. Allow the furniture to dry completely before lounging in them again or covering them up.

How To Clean Fabric?

Get to the stains quickly. As soon as a spill or stain occurs, get to cleaning it immediately. Waiting too long before treating a stain – even a matter of a few minutes – can cause the stain to set, making it harder to get out.

We suggest Master Guard for fabric protection
