Read original guidance
Polypropylene weave and aluminium frame
Polypropylene weave
Dust regularly to prevent accumulation. Remove dirt with soft white cotton dampened with water or diluted neutral detergent, using light pressure. Keep abrasives, alcohol and chemical solvents off the braid. Rubbing, scratching and misuse can fray these textile strands. Cosmetics and fruit juices can leave difficult marks, so take particular care to avoid contact.
Original manufacturer guidanceAluminium frame
Use warm water and neutral soap or a delicate-surface cleaner. Avoid abrasives, solvents, ammonia and alcohol; dry completely.
Original manufacturer guidanceCovers and cushion filling
Washing and adjusting covers
Use the care symbols supplied with the product to determine how its cover may be washed at home. Readjust Velcro fasteners periodically to smooth usage creases. Where no fasteners are fitted, smooth the cover by hand from the centre towards the outside.
Original manufacturer guidanceDusting and liquid spills
Dust using soft, dry cotton. Address spills immediately and absorb the liquid with paper towels. Then use white cotton or microfibre lightly dampened with water and neutral soap, and allow the surface to dry in a ventilated place.
Original manufacturer guidanceStains on covers
Blot a stain promptly with clean white cloth. If residue must be lifted, carefully use the flat side of a spoon or knife horizontally against it, without damaging the cover. Blot inward from the edges to limit rings. Use light circular movements rather than heavy pressure.
Original manufacturer guidanceCushions
Pat and fluff the cushions by hand on all sides to aerate the filling and restore its volume. Periodically remove the covers, knead and fluff the filling, air it outdoors where possible, then refit. If feasible, swap frequently used cushions with less-used ones.
Original manufacturer guidanceOutdoor protection and use
When not in use
Remove oil and sunscreen promptly. Cover dry furniture with its dedicated waterproof cover during prolonged outdoor storage. Remove cushions before stacking, maximum six chairs.
Original manufacturer guidanceProtective cover cloth
Follow the washing label underneath the cover. Air dry completely before closed storage to prevent mould.
Original manufacturer guidanceOutdoor-use precautions
Do not immerse or place by pool edges; avoid direct seawater, chlorinated water or snow contact. Cover only when sufficiently dry, never while occupied. Keep covers away from children to prevent entanglement and suffocation.
