How to Care for Weather Resistant Rattan Garden Furniture
Understanding Your Supremo® Weave FurnitureÂ
Supremo® weave furniture is lightweight, sturdy, and durable furniture manufactured from high-quality HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) and hand-woven onto rust-proof aluminium frames to impart strength and style to the furniture.Â
Highly functional and sturdy weave outdoor furniture can last for many years; if you follow the basic cleaning process. You can leave your rattan garden furniture outdoors for the winter months and throughout spring, however, Supremo recommends covering your furniture with one of Supremo’s breathable, water-resistant outdoor covers for longevity.Â
Supremo® offers a 5-year warranty for additional peace of mind (please visit www.supremouk.com for a copy of the Supremo Ltd Warranty for further information).
How to care for your cushions?
Cushions must be kept dry as they can become watermarked if left in the rain. Any spillages should be removed with a damp cloth. Please refer to the care label for instructions. To keep your cushions looking pristine, we recommend storing them away when not in use. NEVER machine wash or tumble dry the covers. NEVER use a furniture cover to protect your cushions from the weather.
How to Clean Rattan Garden furniture?
Regular cleaning is important as it keeps away the chances of any infestation or damage to the furniture. Not cleaning it properly can harbor mold and bacteria growth, both of which can lessen the life span of the furniture and cause issues with the framework.
Here are some basic cleaning steps for your Supremo® Outdoor Weave Furniture
1. Make use of a soft brush to clean out any dust, or debris (food particles) you might find on the furniture piece. Ensure the bristles of the brush are soft and not abrasive as it would damage the furniture.
2. A pair of tweezers could work well when you want to get rid of dirt from harder-to-reach places like crevices or in between the weaves. Take care when using tweezers, to not damage or catch the weave as this may break or snap the weave.
3. Supremo® furniture can be washed with warm soapy water, and rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any residue. NEVER use a pressure washer to clean your furniture, as this could damage the weave.
4. Once in a month, wipe your Supremo® garden furniture with a soft damp cloth or warm soapy water.Â
5. After you are done washing the furniture, leave them to dry in a well-ventilated area.
6.A suitable glass cleaner and soft cloth can be used to buff the glass.
7. We strongly advise storing your glass in doors during adverse weather conditions, mainly high winds, to prevent it scratching/shattering.
8. Do not place extremely hot or cold items directly on your glass. Always use a coaster/placemats to ensure your glass remains looking pristine.
9. Although it is not essential, to prolong the life of the furniture, store it away during the winter months. We have a range of Supremo® covers that can be used which have been specifically designed to keep the elements away and allow air to circulate through a Supremo® breathable vent system.
10. If using a furniture cover, please remember that water can pool on a cover, to avoid this we suggest using a water shed pole. If you have a set with a dining table, place a pole through the parasol hole to create a tent shape, which will ensure the water runs off. This will help prolong the life span of your cover & furniture. We also advise removing your cover during adverse weather conditions, especially during high winds, to avoid damaging your cover.
