FRANKIE Café Bar Chair

Rattan

• Place your rattan furniture in places where humidity and heat levels are consistent, as changes can result in warps or cracks due to expansion and contraction.

• Moisture and heat can cause damage to any finish. Always wipe up moisture promptly and dry with a soft cloth. Do not place hot items directly on the rattan surface.

• Over time, air and sunlight may cause changes in the colour of the rattan. To reduce the change in colour, do not place your furniture in areas directly exposed to sunlight such as in front of windows. If you are placing items on your rattan furniture, occasionally rotate the items to allow a more uniform color to develop.

• Dust regularly using a soft cloth or feather duster to remove dust and debris from the surface of the rattan. For intricate weaving, a soft-bristled brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment can help reach the nooks and crannies.

• For further cleaning, a soft, lint-free cloth with water and a drop of mild soap is recommended. Do not use strong cleaning products such as bleach as this may dissolve the finish. If in doubt, test the cleaning product on a small patch in an inconspicuous location before applying to the rest of the furniture. Avoid soaking the rattan, as excess water can damage the fibres. Remove soap residue with a clean damp cloth and dry with a towel, then let dry completely in a ventilated area.

• Every six months, use lemon oil or polish available from hardware stores, to protect the finish and retain a shine.

Powder-Coated Aluminium Frame

• Use a soft cloth or feather duster to remove dust and dirt from the furniture surfaces regularly. This helps prevent the buildup of grime that can scratch or dull the finish over time.

• Powder-coated aluminium frames are rust-free and are suitable for outdoors or areas near the sea. These furniture can be washed with water and mild soap if necessary, using a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue. After washing, dry the furniture with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots and streaks. This also helps protect against water-related damage.

• Do not use any abrasive cleaners or cleaning materials such as scrub pads and brushes to prevent scratches or damage to the powder-coated finishes.

• Aluminium must not be polished using metal polishes or harsh chemicals as these can damage the powder-coating and compromise its protective properties.

• Clean up spills as soon as possible to prevent staining. Use a mild soap and water solution for cleaning, and avoid letting substances like wine, oil, or acidic liquids sit on the surface.

• When not in use, cover your outdoor furniture to protect it from direct sunlight, rain, and dust. This helps maintain the finish and reduces the need for frequent cleaning.

Woven Synthetic Fibres

• Our woven synthetic fibres are UV and weather resistant and may be placed indoors or outdoors.

• For regular dusting, use a soft cloth or feather duster to remove dust and debris from the surface. For intricate weaving, a soft-bristled brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment can help reach the nooks and crannies.

• To clean, wash with water and mild soap.
