Tanso 2 Seat Sofa – designed by David Irwin
Cushion Care
The cushions for the Tanso sofa use an outdoor rated and UV resistant fabric that utilises industry-leading
textile technologies.
We advise that the cushions are stored in a dry location whilst not in use to prolong the life of this product.
it is not advised to machine wash the cushions – please follow the recommended instructions on the opposite
page.
Cleaning (Light soiling):
For regular, general cleaning and light soiling use a solution of warm water and mild detergent and follow the
steps below:
1. Gently brush the fabric clean with a sponge, soft scrubbing pad or a soft bristle scrubbing brush and the
warm water and mild detergent mixture.
2. Rinse well with clean water to remove all traces of the detergent solution.
3. Leave to dry ideally in sunny breezy conditions and ensure they are fully dried before covering or storing.
4. DO NOT use a pressure washer to clean/rinse the cushions as this will cause de-lamination of the
membrane on the inside of the cushion cover.
Watermarks:
Due to the large surface area of base cushions in particular, it is possible, under certain conditions, for
watermarks to appear on the fabric. Watermarks are not ‘stains’ as such and can occur on almost any fabric
under certain conditions - i.e. uneven wetting and/or uneven drying.
Cleaning (Heavy soiling):
For more ingrained dirt and/or to remove specic stains we recommend buying a specic outdoor fabric spot
cleaner/cleaning solution or consulting with a professional cleaning company.
Mildew:
All the fabrics used on Outdoor Lounge furniture are generally resistant to mildew, however, in extremely
humid and moist environments, it is possible that some level of mildew may develop on the surface of the
fabric. To prevent and remove mildew, we recommend that items are cleaned at least once a year using a mild
detergent and warm water.
Frame Care
The sofa is manufactured using solid Teak that has been sourced from controlled forest plantations in
Thailand.
Skilled craftsmen manufacture this product and there will be a variety of grain and colour between
each table. Wood is a natural product and colour and grain variations are always present.
Teak is a durable timber with a high oil and resin content, this means it is ideal for outdoor furniture, requiring
little amounts of care to keep looking its best. Over time, the Teak will start to change colour going from a rich
golden colour to Silver-Grey. This is natural and does not reect the quality of the wood or its durability but is
down to a purely aesthetic change.
It is recommended that no abrasive cleaners or solvents are used to clean the furniture. We
recommend only using warm water with a diluted mild detergent to clean off the dirt that has formed
over time and using a soft bristle brush. Regular cleanings will help to keep the original golden
appearance of the teak if desired. Over long periods the teak might stay silver/grey after
cleaning as this is how the timber ages. If you are looking to get the timber back to its original
appearance you could lightly sand the whole product to remove the top (silver/grey) layer of timber.
If you do use this method, please take extra care not to over sand or damage details of the product
by attening off when sanding.
Proprietary Teak oil can also be applied to help maintain the original nish – however please test on a small
part of the product that is not seen (i.e. underside of the table slats) before using as some teak oils can darken
the appearance.
It is not recommended to use a pressure washer when cleaning teak furniture as it can damage the
surface of the teak furniture. There are also specic teak cleaning products available, we would recommend
the Osmo Wood Reviver Gel as a good way to restore the product to its original nish.
We recommend that the product is covered when not in use and during extreme weather conditions to
prolong the nish of the product and reduce the amount of cleaning required.
We thank you for purchasing this product and wish you many years of enjoyable and
functional use.
