Outdoor Care

Our range of outdoor furniture is designed with both comfort and durability in mind. To get the most from your outdoor products, it is important to follow the relevant care and maintenance instructions:

CUSHIONS:

• Cushions / fabric exposed directly to UV rays are likely to deteriorate faster, causing rapid fading and weakening of product. It is recommended outdoor products are not permanently left out and exposed to the elements, to ensure maximum longevity
   

• Cushions / fabric exposed to rain/water without the opportunity to dry out will likely deteriorate and develop mould and mildew. Ensure damp cushions are air-dried out regularly, and removed from heavy rain where necessary
  

TIMBER:

• Our outdoor timber is very durable, but there is no escaping deterioration when consistently exposed to the extreme Australian sun. To ensure maximum longevity, remove outdoor furniture from direct sunlight when not in use
   

• Timber needs regular oiling to ensure it does not dry out and crack. To polish the timber, apply a fine, light, silicone-free furniture oil and polish in the direction of the grain. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the label. Never use a furniture polish containing silicone. Check the label! (A well-known general-purpose pressure-pack spray advertises its suitability for furniture use, but the silicone content will quickly destroy the lacquer)
   

• Timber in humid areas is more likely to develop mould and mildew. Regular cleaning/wiping of timber is recommended. Waxing your timber can also help protect against mould and mildew

• Teak timbers left untreated outdoors will silver (discolour) over time as part of the natural weathering process.
