It does not need much

Outdoor furniture is meant to be easy. A few small things at the right time of year and it will outlast the deck it sits on.

Fabric

Rinse with fresh water now and then. Salt is what dulls a cushion, not sunlight. For a mark, mild soap and cold water, then rinse properly and let it dry in place.

The foam underneath drains rather than holding water, so a cushion caught in a shower is usable within the hour. Store them dry, off the ground and under cover over winter.

Teak

Left outside, teak moves from amber through warm gold and on to an even silver grey over roughly four to twelve months. Only the surface changes. The strength and the joinery are unaffected.

If you prefer the warmer tone, oil it once a year, ideally before summer. Clean the surface first, let it dry, then apply thinly with a cloth. Never use a water blaster.

Aluminium

Powder-coated aluminium will not rust, but salt sitting on the surface can dull the finish over time. Fresh water and a soft cloth a few times a year is plenty.

Fixings

Check them once a year. Hand tight is enough.

Your piece

Every product has its own care guide. You will find it on the product page under the specification, with a care sheet to download where there is one.

Where the guide for your piece says something different from the general advice here, follow the guide. It is written for the exact frame, fabric and finish you bought.
