6. Maintenance

6.1. Teak Wood Care

Teak wood is naturally durable and weather-resistant. To maintain its appearance and longevity:

• Regular Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly with water.
• Teak Patina: Over time, teak wood will naturally weather to a soft, silvery-grey patina. This is a natural process and does not affect the wood's durability.
• Oiling (Optional): To maintain the original golden-brown color, apply a teak oil annually. Follow the instructions on the teak oil product.
• Winter Storage: During prolonged periods of harsh weather, it is recommended to store the chairs indoors or cover them with protective outdoor furniture covers.

6.2. Cushion Care

The cushion covers are removable for easy cleaning.

• Removal: Unzip the cushion covers and remove them from the foam inserts.
• Washing: Hand wash or machine wash the covers on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Do not bleach.
• Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry. Ensure covers are completely dry before reattaching to prevent mildew.
• Storage: Store cushions indoors during inclement weather or when not in use to prolong their lifespan and prevent fading.

7. Troubleshooting

• Chair feels unstable: Ensure the chair is fully unfolded and placed on a flat, even surface. Check for any loose connections or damaged parts.
• Backrest adjustment is stiff: Apply a small amount of silicone spray to the pivot points of the backrest mechanism. Ensure no debris is obstructing the movement.
• Cushions appear flattened: Fluff the cushions regularly to restore their shape. If heavily soiled, follow the cleaning instructions in Section 6.2.
