6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your deck chair.
- Cleaning: Wipe the acacia wood with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and bolts and tighten them if necessary to ensure the chair remains stable.
