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.
Stainless Steel (polished stainless steel only)
Clean as required, but at least every three months, using a stainless steel polish and a lint free cloth. To remove
ground in dirt, a stainless steel finishing pad may be required.
Galvanised
For general cleaning using a damp cloth and warm soapy water only. Scourers and abrasive cleaners are NOT
suitable for these types of finish and may damage them. 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.
Stainless Steel
Light damage (surface scratches etc.) can be removed using an emery pad (240 grit) and freeing oil such as
‘WD40’. Care should be taken to follow the direction of the brushing grain. It is recommended that a trial repair
be carried out on an unimportant surface first. No corrosive cleaners or other abrasives should be used. Any
contamination, particularly carbon steel scuffs from vehicles, should be quickly removed to avoid corrosion.
Galvanised
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.
In this event (or if the product needs to be disassembled for any reason), please contact Factory Furniture for
detailed technical advice.
