UV Protection: These outdoor chairs are UV stabilised to prolong the colour of your chairs and to prevent it going brittle. To prolong the life of this item, avoid prolonged exposure to the elements and store inside or under cover when not in use.
Avoid Sharp Objects: Be cautious to avoid sharp objects or rough surfaces that could potentially scratch or damage your polypropylene furniture.
Mould Prevention: Ensure proper ventilation and avoid placing your furniture in damp, shaded areas to prevent the growth of mould and mildew. If mould or mildew does appear, clean it promptly using a mixture of water and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and allow the chairs to dry completely.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: While polypropylene is generally resistant to temperature extremes, avoid direct contact with extremely hot surfaces or prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures.
Stacking & Table Top Care: Do not place chairs on tables to avoid scratching your tables. Opt for space-saving stackable chairs that you can easily store. Stack chairs only to the recommended quantity.
POLYPROPYLENE FURNITURE
Polypropylene chairs have a surface, and inherent properties that don’t hold onto dirt and grime. Simply wipe with a damp microfibre cloth (or use a mild soapy solution and water) on a regular basis. You can also simply hose off any surface dirt and debris with a garden hose set to a gentle setting.

Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents or abrasive cleaners such as hard brushes or scouring pads, as they can scratch the surface of the polypropylene. Never apply undiluted bleach on plastic furniture.
FABRIC CUSHION
To maintain your furniture in good condition, clean regularly using mild soap or mild detergent mixed with water. Gently wipe the surface with a soft cloth rather than scrubbing, and avoid using rough or abrasive materials that may damage the finish.
Do not use harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can affect the material and appearance over time. After cleaning, allow the furniture to air dry completely before use. Regular gentle cleaning will help preserve the look and extend the life of your furniture.

For stubborn stains (such as bird droppings, tree gum), apply a 1:1 mixture of white vinegar and water to the stain, let it sit for 10 minutes, then gently wipe and rinse thoroughly. Avoid using bleach, abrasive chemicals, steel wool, hard brushes, waxes or polishes and as they can damage the product.
