6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your daybed, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the polyethylene wicker and aluminum frame with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Cushion Care: The cushions are made from water-resistant fabric. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For general cleaning, spot clean with a mild soap and water solution. Allow cushions to air dry completely before storing or reusing. Store cushions indoors during prolonged periods of rain or cold weather to prevent mold and mildew.
- Winter Storage: During off-season or harsh weather, it is recommended to cover the daybed or store it in a dry, protected area to extend its lifespan.

- Cushion Discoloration/Mold: Ensure cushions are dried thoroughly after exposure to moisture. Store cushions indoors during wet weather. Clean with a mild bleach solution (diluted) if mold appears, then rinse and dry completely.
- Wicker Damage: Minor fraying can sometimes be trimmed carefully. For significant damage, contact customer support for advice on repairs or replacement parts.
