RATTAN CARE
Our all weather rattan is made with PE (polyethylene) resin fibres. This highly
durable, high-quality rattan is strong, flexible, eco-friendly, recyclable,
lightweight and mould resistant.
The rattan is dyed to the sets colour during the manufacturing process
hindering any flaking or peeling over time and then wrapped around a
non-rusting, strong aluminium frame - making this set stand the test of time.
To keep your rattan furniture in tip top condition:
- Vacuum with a soft bristle brush tool to stop dust particles
building up in the weave
- Use a soft bristle brush to get rid of any trapped debris and
dirt e.g. pet hairs
- Hose the rattan down to remove any grime
- Use a soft cloth with a damp cloth/sponge with a mild
detergent, rinsing away any soap after
GLASS CARE
All of the glass tops on our furniture are made with a minimum 5mm
thick tempered safety glass. During the tempering process, the glass is
made stronger meaning that if the glass does break, it will break into
small, circular pieces rather than sharp jagged shards.
Although the glass has been tempered it is still important to take care
whenever the glass is being moved.
To clean your tempered glass, we advise you to use a clean static free
cloth with a cleaner specifically for windows/glass or to use a little
vinegar with newspaper.
CUSHION CARE
Direct Outdoor Living’s cushion covers are made with high quality
machine washable luxury materials and filled with superior quick-dry
foam allowing the cushions to dry quickly if left in the rain. Soft to the
touch, our cushion covers are treated to withstand everyday wear and
tear.
Although our cushions can be left outside we do advise you to store
them away in a dry place when they are not in use (especially in the
winter months) to help maintain their appearance for longer. Dark
coloured cushions should be stored out of sunlight when not is use to
prevent any fading. if you are storing your cushions away ensure they are
fully dry first.
Cushion covers should be washed on a 30°C wash. Do not tumble dry
the covers. Do not wash the foam insert as you run the risk of causing
mildew or mould growth. If you do wash the insert, ensure the insert is
fully dried before replacing the cover.Any spillages on the cushions
should be cleaned up as soon as possible with an absorbent clean cloth.
Once a year we advise you to give your cushions a basic clean, putting
the cushion covers through a low cycle with a mild detergent.
If your cushion covers are heavily soiled, we advise you to soak them first
to loosen the ingrained dirt that has built up.
To help prevent any stains, we recommend the use of Scotchgard™
Outdoor Fabric Protector before using your cushions. This spray creates
an invisible barrier which repels water-based liquids e.g. rain and tea and
protects against stains, making the cushions easier to keep clean.
