TEAK WOOD 

Here’s a simple guide for cleaning teak furniture:

• Begin by rinsing your teak furniture with a hose set to a low or medium pressure. It's important to avoid high pressure, as it can damage the wood.
• Next, prepare a bucket of water and use a sponge or soft brush to gently scrub the furniture. Be sure to scrub along the grain, not against it, and pay attention to corners and crevices. If you're using a brush, apply light pressure to prevent harming the wood.
• After scrubbing, rinse the teak item with the hose again at a low or medium pressure.
• Finally, wipe the teak with a dry cloth and let it air dry naturally in sunlight whenever possible.

NATURAl RATTAN 

Cleaning your natural rattan furniture is simple!

• For routine cleaning, use your vacuum's brush attachment to clear dust from woven surfaces and crevices. If additional cleaning is needed, wipe the frame with a damp microfiber cloth to remove dirt buildup. For dried residues, a toothbrush or soft brush can help loosen them; allow the area to air-dry once clean.
• Ensure rattan furniture is thoroughly dried and avoid soaking it in water. If it becomes too wet, drying it in the sun is ideal. Rattan typically retains its shape, so be careful not to bend it while wet.
• Rattan, like other materials, can develop mold. Regardless of climate, humidity can expose your rattan to moisture. Treat mildew promptly using a strong bleach solution on affected areas and dry furniture outdoors immediately.
• Lift rather than drag rattan furniture to prevent fiber splitting.
• Our products include nylon glides to protect rattan legs from floor moisture. These may wear over time; contact us for replacements if needed.
• Avoid placing furniture near extreme heat or direct sun light to prevent warping, drying and discolor.

Fabric care:

• Regularly vacuum or lightly brush your upholstery to eliminate dust.
• Address stains promptly by blotting up any excess with absorbent paper, then clean the affected area using water or a mild soap solution, allowing it to air dry. If stains persist, repeat this process.
• For removable covers, machine wash in cold water (maximum 30ºC) with a gentle detergent. Avoid using bleach and do not tumble dry. Instead, air dry flat and keep out of direct sunlight for extended periods.
• Professional dry cleaning is also an option.

Final Thoughts:

Weekly light cleaning combined with regular deep cleaning prevents damage and keeps your furniture pristine for years. By adhering to these simple maintenance tips, you'll ensure your furniture remains a valuable investment, preserving its design and integrity for years to come.
