Tables
Use pads, mats and coasters under plates, glasses cups etc to protect them from scratches, spills, stains and heat damage. Wipe spills immediately to prevent staining.
Wood
Remove dust regularly with a clean soft brush and wipe down with a clean damp cloth. Use pads, mats and coasters under plates, glasses cups etc to protect them from scratches, spills, stains and heat damage. Wipe spills immediately to prevent staining. Wood is a natural material which reacts to weather conditions. Depending on weather type, the wood can swell or dry resulting in small cracks. The risk can be minimised by cleaning and/or treating the furniture at regular intervals and keeping it clean and dry with a soft clean cloth. We would advise applying Kettler hardwood shield (available to buy from our website) 2-3 times per year (table tops) and 1-2 times per year for chairs.
We recommend the following cleaning regime using Kettler wood aftercare treatment to keep the furniture maintained and looking its best:
- Kettler Hardwood Cleaner â during the Spring (once a year)
- Kettler Hardwood Colour Protector (Smoke White for Cora, Brown for Hampton, Fiji, Beach, Kubu, Lando & Meadow) â during the Spring (once a year)
- Kettler Hardwood Shield â Spring and Autumn (2-3 times a year)
Care products are available to buy from:

Storage: During Winter/wetter months store in a cool, dry and well ventilated location to prevent excessive shrinkage or expansion of the wood.
Moving parts such as locking mechanisms, catches and joints need to be checked/lubricated where necessary.
Wicker
The synthetic wicker is weatherproof and can be left outdoors all year round (excluding cushions). We recommend cleaning when required with warm soapy water avoiding any harsh chemcials or using the Kettler wicker care kit. Remove dust regularly with a clean soft brush and wipe down with a clean damp cloth. Use pads, mats and coasters under plates, glasses cups etc to protect them from scratches, spills, stains and heat damage. Wipe spills immediately to prevent staining. Tree sap and bird droppings should be cleaned off immediately. Take care if using near a barbecue. Charcoal sparks could cause melting. Do not leave hot BBQ tools or other hot items directly on the table. Some styles of glassware can act as a magnifying glass in strong sunlight and will cause damage.
Protective covers are also available for most items.
