> CARE AND MAINTENANCE <
The Neu Table is galvanized and has an outdoor powder
coating which provides a barrier to corrosive elements
making it suitable for outdoor use. It is designed to last,
meeting the highest quality standards making it ideal for
both private and public environments.
When you move the table, make sure to lift it rather
than pulling or pushing it, as that would damage the
legs and mountings. We recommend that you tighten
up the screw on the table after one to two months’ use.
Minor spots of rust under the furniture and bases are
considered as a natural result of general use and can
be treated using the care instructions below. Placement
in direct seafront can lead to corrosion. Avoid improper
use such as putting your feet on the table. To avoid per-
manent stains and scratches, use coasters under damp,
hot or coloured objects. Avoid covering the furniture
with a plastic tablecloth or tarpaulin and avoid contact
with damp or wet objects such as flowerpots over a
longer time. Always remove stains quickly before they
can do any permanent damage to the tabletop. We also
recommend that bird droppings are quickly cleaned off
as they may lead to a permanent corrosion or staining.
It is important that the furniture is wiped off if it is wet
after rain or snowfall as this will damage the surface
over time.
CLEANING
Powder coated steel / Clean with a soft cloth wrung in
either clean water or a solution of water and a mild
neutral detergent. Remove soap residue immediately
using a clean, dry cloth. Do not use solvents as they
may have an adverse effect on the coating. Avoid using
scouring cream or scouring pads, as they may scratch
the surface. In the event of lime deposits on the surface
use a clean, damp cloth wrung in lukewarm water with
one part vinegar to nine parts water and avoid
scrubbing as this may scratch the surface. Never use
acetic acid or citric acid. Small scratches or damage to
the powder coated surfaces can lead to corrosion. They
can be retouched and protected from corrosion with a
special repair lacquer available at HAY stores and
authorized dealers. If the metal is uncovered it is
necessary to sand the area before repairing it (grain
220). Wipe it over with a clean dry cloth and clean the
area with methylatedspirits before repainting it.
STORAGE
The lifespan of your table will vary depending on the
weather and type of use. We recommend that it is stored
in a dry, ventilated place during winter and protected
against scratches and bumps.
