Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your TecTake Garden Lounge Set.
General Cleaning:
- Frame: Wipe the rattan frame with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Cushions: The cushion covers are removable and washable. Follow the care instructions on the label, typically machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Air dry only; do not tumble dry. The cushions are water-repellent, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.
- Glass Table Top: Clean with a standard glass cleaner and a soft cloth.

Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your garden lounge set.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Furniture wobbles or is unstable. | Screws are loose; uneven ground. | Check and tighten all assembly screws. Move the furniture to a flat, level surface. |
| Cushions appear flattened or misshapen. | Prolonged use or improper storage. | Fluff cushions regularly. Store cushions in a dry, well-ventilated area when not in use. |
