Cleaning the lounge set
Want to keep your lounge set fresh and gleaming? Regular cleaning is key! Use a soft brush and a mild cleaning product to remove dirt and dust.

This way your lounge set will always look its best!
Specific materials
- Wood: Clean the wood with a soft brush and a mild cleaning product. Do not use a high-pressure cleaner, as it can damage the wood. Treat the wood regularly with a special oil to protect it against the elements.
- Aluminium: For aluminium, use a soft brush and a mild cleaning product. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can cause scratches. Protect the aluminium by regularly treating it with a special weather-resistant wax.
- Plastic: Clean the plastic with a soft brush and a mild cleaning product. Abrasive cleaners or scouring pads are not recommended, as they can cause scratches. Use a special wax regularly to protect the plastic against the elements.
- Fabric: For the fabric of your lounge set, use a soft brush and a mild cleaning product. Avoid aggressive cleaning products, as these can damage the fabric. Allow the fabric to dry thoroughly after cleaning before using it again.
- Metal: If your lounge set has metal components, it is important to prevent rust. Treat the metal regularly with a rust-preventative spray and ensure no water is left standing on it.
- Cushions: The cushions of your lounge set also deserve some care. Wash the covers regularly according to the instructions on the label and ensure they are completely dry before putting them back on the set. This prevents mould and unpleasant odours.
