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.
Galvanised
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.
Repairs
FSC Timber
For light damage, please see section on specific maintenance details above. For instances of heavy damage,
the timber item should be replaced. Please order against the part number reference in the reordering section
towards the end of this manual.
Galvanised Surfaces
For light damage to hot dipped galvanised finishes repair using a high performance cold galvanising zinc spray
(70% zinc or above). Spray application should be carried out in accordance with approved methods detailed by
the product manufacturer. Please note that it is advisable to use professional painters to achieve best results
when touching up larger areas.
Heavy Damage
In the event of serious damage to any component, replacements should be ordered from Factory Furniture Ltd.
Should further assistance be required (or if the product needs to be disassembled for any reason), please
contact Factory Furniture for detailed technical advice.
