General Maintenance (Recommended Schedule & Guidelines)
Daily/Weekly/Monthly (or as adopted)
Visual checks of seat top, back and bases - check all items for superficial or physical damage.

Clean all items as detailed below check all fixings are seated correctly; inspect timber for serious damage and
splinters.
Six Monthly
Secure all fixings; full clean as detailed below; check that seat/bench is firmly secured to the ground
Specific Maintenance Details
FSC Timber
Clean with a stiff brush once per year, especially in more exposed locations, in order to prevent a verdigris type
build up on the timber surface. Ideally this should be completed in early spring. During the cleaning stage, all
exposed timber surfaces should be inspected for splits and splinters. Any splinters and graffiti should be
removed and the surface sanded with 100 grit sandpaper in order to remove any uneven / sharp edges or
surfaces.
During the first few months after installation the tannin naturally occurring in the timber may leach out and
cause a brown staining on the bases. This may be removed with a light solution of household bleach and
water.
Polyester Powder Coated Aluminium
For general cleaning using a damp cloth and warm soapy water only. Scourers and abrasive cleaners are NOT
suitable for this type of finish and may damage it. Before using any cleaning agents to remove graffiti etc. try
on a small, inconspicuous area first to avoid causing more unsightly damage.
