6. Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will extend the life and preserve the appearance of your glider bench.
Wood Care (Acacia Wood):
- Oiling: Regularly oil the acacia wood surface to maintain its natural beauty and protect it from weathering. The frequency depends on local climate and exposure, but typically every 3-6 months is recommended. Use a wood-specific outdoor furniture oil.
- Cleaning: Clean the wood with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Protection: To prolong service life, avoid prolonged exposure to rain and direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using a protective cover or storing the bench indoors during off-seasons or severe weather.

Rattan Care (PE Rattan):
- Cleaning: Wipe the PE rattan with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry.

General Maintenance:
- Check Fasteners: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Lubrication: If the gliding mechanism becomes stiff or squeaky, apply a silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts.
