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

Polyrattan is a durable synthetic fibre that replicates the look of natural rattan while offering enhanced resistance to moisture, UV exposure, and general wear. It's designed for outdoor use and requires minimal maintenance compared to natural rattan.

Common Issues or Risks

Polyrattan can become brittle or faded if exposed to prolonged direct sunlight and harsh weather. Accumulated dirt and debris between the weaves can also affect appearance and longevity if not cleaned regularly.

Preventative Care

Place furniture in shaded or semi-covered outdoor areas where possible. Use breathable outdoor covers when not in use for extended periods. Always ensure furniture is clean and completely dry before covering or storing to prevent trapped moisture.

Cleaning Instructions

Dust regularly with a soft cloth, soft-bristle brush, or vacuum with a brush attachment. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild, non-acidic soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry in a shaded area. Avoid over-saturating or allowing water to collect inside hollow frames.

Cautions / What to Avoid

Avoid using bleach, harsh chemicals, or abrasive tools, which can damage the surface. Refrain from placing heavy or sharp objects on the weave to prevent distortion. Do not store furniture in plastic or non-breathable covers, as this can trap moisture and lead to mould or discolouration.
