Maintenance and Cleaning
Storing
If possible, it is best to store your furniture indoors in a cool and
dry place during the winter months to protect it. If you can’t, we
recommend covering your furniture with a Röshults Luxury Cover
in autumn and winter for protection. Please note, however, that
condensation can form under the cover which can cause mold and
mildew. Therefore, it is important to make sure that air can circulate
between the cover and the furniture, to minimize condensation.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is not completely maintenance free. It requires
maintenance to preserve its nish. It needs to be cleaned for
aesthetic considerations, and to preserve corrosion resistance. Any
contamination of the surface by dirt or other material reduces the
resistance.
Care instructions
Stainless steel is easily cleaned by several different methods. It
actually thrives with frequent cleaning, and, unlike some other
materials, it is impossible to “wear out” stainless steel by excessive
cleaning.
Always wipe your product after use. We recommend cleaning the
furniture regularly with a microbre cloth and soapy water. To avoid
gray coating on the surface, do not let water or other liquids dry into
the stainless steel.When water contains mineral solids, which leave
water spots, it is advisable to wipe the surface completely with dry
towels.
• Sprinkle dry powdered detergent, such as washing powder on
the surface.
• Rub the powder gently on the surface with a damp sponge.
• Wash thoroughly with cold water.
• Wipethe surface dry with a dry soft cloth.
Removal of lime coatings
Lime deposits caused by water evaporation on the surface can be
removed with any of the following solutions: Vinegar, vinegar 10%,
Diluted nitric acid (1/5 HNO3, 4/% water). During treatment with nitric
acid you should have a good ventilation in the area. Otherwise, it’s the
same handling regulations as for strong acids. After treatment with
any of the above solutions, rinse the surface thoroughly with cold
water and wipe it dry with a soft polishing cloth.
Removal of rust coatings
Rust coatings which have not been a longer time on the surface can
normally be removed by using a mild scouring powder. Rub the dry
scouring powder gently against the steel surface with a damp cloth,
wash with cold water and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
If rust coatings have been dry out for a long time on the stainless
steel it usually occurs a certain discoloration from the corrosion-
products in the surface. This results in discoloration after the
rust has been removed as above. In such cases we recommend
alternative brushing with dry nylon ber brushes or rust removal with
dilute nitric acid HNO3, diluted with 4 parts water. Rinsing and drying
as above.
Teak
If you take good care of your teak, which is a hard and durable
material, it can last you a lifetime.
Over time, untreated teak furniture which is exposed to the sun, UV
light, humidity and rain will develop a patina along with a silvery,
grey color and wood grain may rise. This process does not harm
the strength or quality of the wood, however we recommend to use
a sealer for keeping the furniture as close as possible to its original
shape. You can consult your local paint store if the original color is
preferred.
Please note that teakwood is a natural product and therefore
continues to change. This means hat small cracks can develop due
to drying and that slats can warp slightly.
All the teak you buy from Röshults is FSC certied.
Care instructions
Our teak furniture is delivered untreated. If yhe furniture remains
untreated, the teakwood will patina over time and turn a palr grey
colour. If you wish to retain the original golden colour, we recomment
treating teak furniture with a recommended teak sealant.
It is recommended to wipe off any stain with water and detergent,
including normal dirt, stain and spores with mold/fungal or other
moldy/fungal residue. For stubborn stains, use a soft-bristled
scrubber (such as kitchen/pot scrubber).
Please do not cover your furniture with plastic or any similar material.
This will prevent natural airow, which will cause the timber to sweat
and increase humidity. Mold may appear as a result.
In some cases mold or mildew can occur despite following the care
insturctions. This can occur if the furniture has been stored under
trees or from air pollution. This is not covered by the warrany.
Teak sealer is recommended to preserve the natural honey color.
Teak sealer contains UV protection to keep the sun from graying
the furniture as well as a fungicide to prevent the growth of mold
and mildew on the surface of your furniture. Sealer is not the same
as varnish. It is meant to preserve the color of the wood and is
breathable, letting the natural oils escape without bubbling or peeling
like varnish. Sealers and preservatives serve both as protectants
and stains. Generally, the darker the stain, the more sun protection it
provides, and the less often it needs to be reapplied.
If the furniture has been exposed to the elements over an extended
period of time and developed patina, it may be necessary to sand it
down before cleaning and treating it. Clean daily with a moist cloth,
water and washing-up liquid. Alternativley use a soap ake solution
to saturate the wood so that the furniture does not get stained
as easily. You can also use a lukewarm cloth or a soft sponge for
cleaning your teak furniture .
