6. Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your rocking chair.
- Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the powder-coated steel frame with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

- Weather Protection: Although the materials are fade-proof and weather-ready, storing the cushions indoors during prolonged periods of rain or harsh weather, or covering the chair, is recommended to maintain its condition.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all bolts and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
