Maintenance

Teakwood

Teakwood comes from various tectona plants that are common in tropical countries. As a result of its strong resistance to humidity and of its internal content of oily substances, it is considered a very precious wood type especially for outdoor environments. It must be said that wood is a living material that reacts to external agents; hence, it is normal and natural to note a variation in the shade of colour as time goes by. The change in colour over time is not a defect. On the contrary, it is a natural characteristic of this wood that lives and reacts to the outside environment with an aging/oxidation process which does not alter the structural integrity of the product.

For ordinary maintenance, we advise using a slightly abrasive sponge with neutral soap.
Avoid using products that contain solvents and/or alcohol.
To help maintain the original colour over time, waxes are available in stores. Always be sure to follow the directions that come with the product that you purchase.
However, it is always advisable to protect the product from extreme temperatures that can cause cracks to form in the wood.
Direct contact with rain can cause the release of the oily resin contained naturally in the wood, which generates pigmented halos on any surface that they come in contact with. In this case, it is advisable to remove the substance with a normal degreasing detergent.
Moreover, please note that, being in direct contact with the frame, particularly light-coloured cushions are more subject to rings forming.
Our Stores and dealers sell the specific 'Kit for teakwood maintenance and cleaning” by B&B Italia (code K_TKN), which contains products suitable for the protection and cleaning of your teakwood product.

Glass

Dust the entire surface carefully to remove any dust (use a soft white cloth).
We advise using normal commercial products for cleaning delicate surfaces.
Rub the surface to be cleaned gently without concentrating just on the area requiring attention: start instead with a larger section and gradually work your way towards the area in the middle.
That way, you will avoid rings or scratches forming, which may be produced if you apply too much pressure to the surface.
Never use solvents or abrasive detergents.

Aluminium

We advise using normal commercial products for cleaning delicate surfaces and/or warm water and neutral soap.
Never use abrasives or products containing solvents, ammonia and/or alcohol.
Make sure to dry the surfaces completely after washing.

Cover cloth

Elasticised technical textile, waterproof, developed to protect furniture from weather when not in use.
If condensation forms under the cloth, it will not damage product quality.
Wash the cloth according to the instructions printed on the underside of the cloth and let dry completely in the open air before storing in a closed place in order to prevent mould from forming.
When the product is no longer used, do not abandon it, but take it to a suitable public waste collection facility.
Always remember to be careful not to use the product improperly, considering its designated functions.
