We do not recommend leaving any furniture outdoors without appropriate covering. We strongly advise covering all outdoor furniture when not in use to ensure its longevity.

Exposure to the elements, such as rain, sun, wind, and dust, can cause premature wear and tear on outdoor furniture and textiles, reducing lifespan.

By covering your outdoor furniture when not in use, you can protect it from the elements, preserving its appearance and maintaining its structural integrity.

Please note that outdoor furniture covers are not guaranteed against damage. Following proper care and maintenance instructions is essential to keep your outdoor furniture in good condition.

Regular maintenance is necessary to maintain the quality of outdoor furniture. To maintain timber's beautiful natural appearance and character, we suggest regularly coating it with natural beeswax to repel water. 

Additionally, it is essential to periodically inspect your outdoor furniture and covers for signs of wear and tear and to replace covers as needed.

Following these recommendations, you can enjoy your outdoor furniture for years.

Characteristics

Polyhyacinth is a synthetic woven material engineered for strength and visual similarity to natural water hyacinth. It is lightweight, flexible, and suitable for both indoor and sheltered outdoor use. Its textured finish offers a natural look with increased durability.

Common Issues or Risks

Prolonged exposure to sunlight may cause fading or brittleness. Excess moisture, if not dried thoroughly, can lead to mildew or weakening of the weave. Physical stress or heavy objects may distort or damage the woven structure over time.

Preventative Care

Keep polyhyacinth pieces out of direct sunlight for extended periods. Use furniture covers or store indoors when not in use, especially during harsh weather. Rotate accessories or cushions regularly to ensure even wear. Avoid placing heavy or sharp objects on the weave, and lift rather than drag the furniture to preserve its structure. Inspect woven areas periodically and trim loose strands with scissors.

Cleaning Instructions

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth or vacuum gently using a brush attachment. For light cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap solution, then dry thoroughly to prevent moisture retention. Do not soak or over-wet the material.

Cautions / What to Avoid

Avoid abrasive cleaning tools or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the weave or alter the finish. Do not expose the furniture to constant moisture or direct sunlight. Do not pull loose fibres-trim them cleanly. Refrain from placing items outdoors in unsheltered environments for extended periods.
