Maintenance
Steel
To keep the product in good condition for a long time, we recommend storing it during the winter in closed and dry places in order to avoid condensation. Before the winter season and on a quarterly basis, if the products are stored near the sea, it is recommended to clean the metal surfaces with a soft cloth using water or detergents and protect them with vaseline oil or car wax.
Teak
Since it is a natural material, color variations may be observed between one product and another or between the components of the same product. In the event of sudden changes in temperature and depending on the humidity level, in addition, cracks may also occur. If not subjected to any maintenance treatment through the periodic application of common and specific oil-based protective products, the surface will take on a silver-gray patina that can also be removed with a light surface sanding and subsequent polishing with a jute cloth. Small surface stains due to oil or other food products must be removed promptly, before the wood can absorb them deeply, by sanding the affected surface and polishing with a jute cloth. Stains from coffee, juices, natural drinks, without added preservatives, can be removed promptly with water and a soft cloth. When the wood gets wet for the first time it is normal for the surface to become a little rough and, once dry, the initial sanding can be restored with a light surface sanding and subsequent polishing with a jute cloth. Teak is a natural material that absorbs water and is rich in oils. Over time, these oils, by a natural process, rise to the surface and can stain any cushions that have been used. Stains on the pillows can be removed using soap and water.
