Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your WestinTrends Ashore Patio Rocking Chair, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Clean with soap, water, and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the poly lumber finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and screws for tightness. Retighten as necessary to maintain structural integrity.
• Storage: While designed for all-weather use, storing the chair in a covered area during extreme weather conditions (e.g., heavy snow, prolonged direct sunlight) can further extend its lifespan.
• Stains: For stubborn stains, a mild household cleaner and a soft cloth can be used. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your rocking chair, refer to the following common solutions:

• Wobbling: If the chair wobbles, check that all assembly bolts are tightened evenly. Ensure the chair is on a flat, level surface.
• Squeaking: A slight squeak may occur over time. Check for loose connections and tighten them. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to moving parts if necessary, avoiding contact with the poly lumber surface.
• Discoloration: While the poly lumber is designed to resist fading, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can affect color over many years. Regular cleaning and occasional covered storage can help maintain its appearance.
