5.1. Umbrella Hole Usage

6. Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Merax patio dining set.
6.1. Acacia Wood Care
- Clean the wood surfaces regularly with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the wood finish.
- To maintain the wood's natural beauty and protect it from weathering, apply a suitable outdoor wood sealant or oil annually.
- Store the furniture in a dry, covered area during off-seasons or extreme weather to prevent damage.
6.2. Cushion Care
- The cushion covers feature zippers, making them easy to remove for cleaning.
- Machine wash covers in cold water with a mild detergent. Air dry only; do not tumble dry.
- Spot clean minor spills with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Store cushions indoors when not in use or during inclement weather to prevent mildew and fading.
6.3. Frame Care
- Wipe down the iron frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
- Inspect the frame periodically for any signs of rust or damage. Touch up any chipped paint with rust-inhibiting paint if necessary.
7. Troubleshooting
