Outdoor Furniture Care

• To clean, wipe down the frame occasionally with water mixed with mild liquid detergent and rinse thoroughly afterward. Many stains can be removed with mild soap and water. Use a soft sponge to remove stubborn stains.
• Winter Maintenance: Frames can be left outside all winter with a protective cover. Store cushions inside.

Teak Outdoor Furniture

• Regularly cleaning your teak will help lengthen the life of your teak furniture. Using fresh water, hose down your teak and then wipe down with a clean cloth. Let completely dry before next use.
• Sometimes it may be necessary for a more thorough cleaning. For this we recommend using our Royal Teak Collection Teak Cleaner. This will help rid of more difficult stains. First, hose down teak with fresh water. Then using our Teak Cleaner spray or wipe it directly onto the furniture. Then use a clean cloth or soft bristle brush to scrub the furniture thoroughly. Once finished you should rinse the entire piece of furniture again with fresh water and let dry before next use. Keep in mind using the Teak Cleaner will restore the colour from the silver-grey back to a more natural look.
• Over time if left untreated teak will turn in a silvery-grey colour. This is a completely natural process caused by the sunlight drying out the outer layer of teak. As it dries out it will oxidize and begin to fade and change colours within a few weeks. This is purely cosmetic and does not change the integrity of the teak.
• To prevent teak from greying, simply use a Teak Sealer. Our Teak Sealer will seal the teak preventing the natural weathering process of teak to occur, allowing it to stay its natural golden-honey colour. Depending on the climate our Teak Sealer should be applied every 1-2 years.
• Winter Maintenance: Frames can be left outside all winter with a protective cover. Store cushions inside.

Cushion Cleaning
Outdoor fabrics are extremely durable and resistant, but they should still be cleaned regularly before substances such as dirt and food particles are allowed to accumulate on and become embedded in the fabric. This practice will eliminate the need for more vigorous cleanings.

General or Light Cleaning of Outdoor Cushions

• Brush off any loose dirt.
• Prepare a cleaning solution of mild soap and lukewarm water.
• Use a soft sponge to clean.
• Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
• Allow fabric to air dry.

Spot Cleaning Outdoor Cushions and Umbrellas

• Apply a light mist of cleaning solution using a spray bottle.
• Work the solution into the stain by lightly scrubbing the area with a soft sponge.
• Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
• Blot excess moisture with a clean, soft towel or sponge.
• Repeat these steps until stain is removed.

Heavy Cleaning for Stubborn Stains on Sunbrella Cushions
Sunbrella fabric does not promote mildew growth, however, mildew may grow on dirt and other foreign substances that are not removed from the fabric.

To clean mildew, or other stubborn stains on Sunbrella Fabric

• Prepare a solution of 8 ounces (1 cup) of bleach and 2 ounces (1/4 cup) of mild soap per gallon of clean water.
• Spray on entire area and allow to soak into the fabric.
• Scrub vigorously with a soft sponge, or clean towel.
• Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
• Allow fabric to air dry.
• If stain and/or mildew are severe, bleach quantities may be increased.

Umbrellas

• When not in use, close umbrella fully to post.
• Intermittently clean the fabric with lukewarm water, mild detergent, and a sponge.
• Allow a wet canopy to dry slightly opened, but do not leave unattended.
• Wipe sliding marks on the aluminum poles with a damp cloth.
• Ensure fabric is not pinched by the ribs when closed, as this can cause friction and rubbing of the material
• Winter Storage: Cover umbrella with protective cover.

General BBQ Cleaning

• Wipe the outside of the grill lid with a paper towel and cleaner (glass cleaner for porcelain-coated lids and stainless steel cleaner for stainless steel lids.) If your grill is stainless steel, you’ll get the best results by buffing with the grain, not against, using a microfiber towel.
• Clean the side tables with a microfiber towel and stainless steel cleaner. Again, make sure to buff with the grain. If your tables are made of thermoset plastic, use a mild dish detergent and warm water instead.
• Cleaning the cook box may seem tricky, but it’s actually extremely simple and can have a big impact on the way your grill performs. When your grill is completely cool, carefully remove your cooking grates and sear plates. Then, using a stainless steel grill brush, brush all excess grease and debris from inside the cook box into the bottom tray. From here, it will be easy to discard.
• Burning off residue left on your grill is always a good practice, just turn on all your burners to high for 15 minutes before grilling. When your grill reaches these high temperatures, food debris will turn to ash, and will then be easy to brush off using a stainless steel bristle brush.

That’s it! Pretty simple, really. Just follow these steps and your grill will be cooking strong for many years to come.
