4. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Armen Living Santo chairs.
4.1 Wood Frame Care (Eucalyptus)
- Clean the wood frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Eucalyptus wood has a high oil content, which contributes to its durability. To maintain its natural finish and protect it from weathering, it is recommended to periodically apply a suitable outdoor wood oil or sealant. Follow the product instructions for the chosen wood treatment.
- Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining.
4.2 Rope Seat Care
- For general cleaning, wipe the rope seat with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to air dry completely.
- Avoid using stiff brushes or harsh cleaning agents that could damage the rope fibers.
4.3 Environmental Protection
- While designed for outdoor use, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, heavy rain, or extreme temperatures can affect the chairs' appearance and lifespan.
- Consider using outdoor furniture covers during inclement weather or when the chairs are not in use for extended periods.
- Store chairs in a dry, sheltered area during off-season or harsh winter conditions.

5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common concerns you might encounter with your dining chairs.
5.1 Chair Wobbles
- Cause: Uneven floor surface.
- Solution: Ensure the chair is placed on a flat, level surface. If the floor is uneven, consider using furniture pads or shims under the shorter leg(s) to stabilize the chair.
5.2 Wood Discoloration or Fading
- Cause: Prolonged exposure to sunlight and weather elements.
- Solution: This is a natural process for outdoor wood furniture. To restore or protect the finish, apply an outdoor wood oil or sealant as part of regular maintenance (refer to Section 4.1).
5.3 Rope Seat Appears Loose or Damaged
- Cause: Normal wear and tear or accidental damage.
- Solution: For minor loosening, the rope is designed to be durable. For significant damage or unraveling, contact customer support for advice on repair or replacement options.
