Cleaning & Maintenance
Our recycled plastic furnishings are built for durability, weather resistance, and minimal upkeep. Unlike traditional materials, they require no sealing, staining, or painting—making maintenance simple and cost-effective.
This guide provides clear instructions for routine cleaning, stain removal, and long-term care to keep your furniture looking its best.
Routine Cleaning & General Maintenance
Regular cleaning helps maintain appearance and prevents buildup from dirt, pollen, and environmental exposure.
- Use mild soap and water with a soft cloth, sponge, or brush
- Or use common household cleaners such as:
- 409®
- Windex®, etc.
- Rinse surface with water to remove loose debris
- Apply cleaning solution
- Gently scrub as needed
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water
- Allow to air dry or wipe dry
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads
- Avoid steel wool or harsh scrubbing tools
- No refinishing or sealing is ever required
Removing Everyday Dirt & Stains
Most common stains—such as food, grease, dirt, and spills—can be removed easily with standard cleaning methods.
- Clean spills promptly to prevent buildup
- Use a soft-bristle brush for textured surfaces
- Repeat cleaning if necessary for heavier residue
Pressure washing is a fast and effective option for deep cleaning or large installations.
- Use a fan spray (wide-angle nozzle) only
- Keep nozzle 12–18 inches away from the surface
- Always test a small, inconspicuous area first
- Avoid high-pressure pinpoint settings
Removing Tough or Persistent Stains
For more stubborn stains like mildew, algae, or embedded grime, stronger cleaning solutions may be required.
- Industrial-strength cleaners safe for plastic
- 10% bleach solution (for mold and mildew)
- 10% vinegar solution (for mineral buildup and light staining)
- Apply solution to affected area
- Let sit for several minutes (do not allow to dry completely)
- Gently scrub if needed
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water
- Always test on a small hidden area first
- Use protective gloves when handling stronger cleaners
Preventative Maintenance Tips
Simple habits can extend the life and appearance of your furniture:
- Rinse periodically in high-pollen or coastal environments
- Remove leaves, dirt, and standing debris
- Clean more frequently in high-traffic commercial settings
- Avoid prolonged exposure to paints or harsh chemicals
