Care and Maintenance Suggestions
From PATIO PLACE and WOODARD
To keep your Woodard furniture looking its best for years to come, we recommend some minimal care...
ALUMINUM FRAME CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Clean with a solution of warm water and mild soap. Use a fine automotive wax to maintain gloss on non-textured finishes. On textured finishes, periodically apply mineral or baby oil. The multi-step finishing process results in a stain resistant finish. Severe stains may require light sanding and touch-up painting. The finish is formulated and baked on to make it highly resistant to insect repellents and suntan lotions. To avoid discoloration, clean the frame as soon as possible after exposure to these chemicals.
WROUGHT IRON FRAME CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Clean with warm, soapy water. Damage to the paint finish may cause corrosion, touch up with paint immediately. To maintain the gloss on non-textured finishes, protect with a fine automotive wax. On textured finishes, periodically apply mineral or baby oil. Severe stains may require light sanding and touch-up painting. The finish is formulated and baked on to make it highly resistant to repellents and lotions. To avoid discoloration, clean the frame as soon as possible after exposure to these chemicals.
FRAME FINISH TOUCH-UP
When covering small spots of rust, clean area by sanding lightly and wipe immediately to prevent rust. If covering scratches, rub lightly with a fine steel wool to smooth the surface and improve paint adhesion. Apply thin coats of touch-up paint and allow ample drying time between coats.
FABRIC CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Polyester Prints, Acrylic: Spot wash by sponging briskly with a soapy solution of Ivory Liquid® or Joy® in lukewarm water (do not exceed 100 degrees F). Thoroughly rinse with clear water to remove soap. Allow to air dry completely before storing. Wipe clean of insect repellents and suntan lotions with mild laundry detergent and warm water. Do not use bleach or harsh detergents under any circumstances. Do not use steam. Acrylic fabrics are made of 100% acrylic fiber and are thermoplastic, or heat sensitive. Allow to air dry. Do not use solvents, scouring agents, bleach, janitorial cleansers, gasoline, or brushes.
Ele-Tex Solids, Stripes, Jacquards, Shade Plus, and El-Ber-Tex Solids or Patterns: For best results, rinse weekly with mild detergent and warm water. Regular cleaning will help prevent mildew by washing out dirt particles that may become trapped in polyester filling material. Shake out excess moisture after rinsing and allow to dry thoroughly before storing. To remove stains or mildew, clean with a solution of warm water, mild laundry detergent, and chlorine bleach (no more than 1/4 cup to three gallons of water). Never use a solvent type solution. Use X-14 Instant Mildew Stain Remover or Feron Clean for more severe growth. Wipe clean of insect repellents and suntan lotions with mild laundry detergent and warm water. Do not use bleach or harsh detergents under any circumstances.
Vinyl Straps: Protect with Armor-All. Clean with mild laundry detergent and warm water. Strap contains an effective fungicide and UV stabilizers. To remove scuff marks, apply toothpaste or gentle abrasive to a clean, dry cloth and rub gently. Restore shine with Armor-All. To remove mildew, use a solution of warm water, mild laundry detergent, and chlorine bleach (no more than 1/4 cup to three gallons of water). Never use a solvent type solution. Use X-14 Instant Mildew Stain Remover or Feron Clean for more severe growth. Do not use solvents, scouring agents, carbon tetrachloride, undiluted bleach, janitorial cleansers or gasoline.
NOT RECOMMENDED: Insect repellents and suntan lotions can reduce the life of vinyl plastic, accelerate fading, and stain fabrics. To avoid damage, wipe clean as soon as possible and clean with mild laundry detergent and warm water.
