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 – during the Spring (once a year)
- Kettler Hardwood Colour Protector (Smoke White for Cora, Brown for Hampton, Fiji, Beach, Kubu, Lando & Meadow) – during the Spring (once a year)
- Kettler Hardwood Shield – Spring and Autumn (2-3 times a year)

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.
Non-Weatherproof cushions (see list above) should be removed and stored away somewhere that is dry and has an ambient heat when not in use. The cushions must not get wet. They are not suitable for dry cleaning, not machine washable and are sponge clean only. We recommend the Kettler Fabric care kit to clean and protect cushions. Cushions for any set come with a 12 month warranty for manufacturing faults only. If white marks appear on the cushions this means that they have been allowed to get wet and this is the FR coating. There is no reversing this process and new cushions will need to be bought by the consumer. The cushion warranty will be void.
Weatherproof Cushions
We recommend our weatherproof cushions are covered when not in use in order to use immediately. If the cushions get wet from a shower, they will take approx. 20 minutes – 2 hours to fully dry. We recommend storing in a dry ambient temperature during winter months. Kettler cushions are not suitable for dry cleaning and are not machine washable. Sponge clean only. We recommend the use of the Kettler fabric care kit to clean and protect your cushions. This is available to purchase from the Kettler website.
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.
Failure to comply with the above will void the warranty. This product may only be used for its intended purpose for residential premises.
