1. How do I care for my wrought iron
furniture?
A. The frames should be washed with an automotive type soap and
thoroughly rinsed. It is recommended that at least twice a year,
you wax your frames with an automotive type wash/wax, or more
specifically, where both the wash and wax are contained within
the same bottle. Please follow the directions on the back of the
bottle provided by the manufacturer. The frames should be rinsed
again thoroughly to remove any residue. It is strongly
recommended that before waxing the frames, the frames should be
inspected for chips in the finish, which may occur under normal
usage. Any chips or scratches can be easily repaired by
following the instructions on the back of a can of touch-up
paint. Simple maintenance will insure a lifetime of problem-free
usage.
2. How do I care for my cushions and
umbrellas?
A. CUSHIONS: Most fabrics may be cleaned with warm soapy water.
All fabrics must be cleaned with Ivory Liquid or Joy (two caps
per gallon of water). All woven, non-printed fabrics, can be
cleaned with a mild solution of onehalf cup of Bleach and one
cup of laundry detergent per gallon of water. You cannot use
bleach on any printed fabric. It is imperative that the fabrics
be rinsed thoroughly after use of bleach. Hose frequently to
avoid dirt buildup. Allow to air dry. You should clip, not pull,
any loose threads from the cushion.
UMBRELLAS: Occasional waxing of
middle and top pole of umbrella (with car wax) will prolong the
life of the umbrella pole, and will make it easier to crank.
Allow umbrellas to air dry before closing. Do not leave umbrella
open at any time you are not physically enjoying the benefits of
the umbrella.
3. Where do I purchase replacement
cushions?
A. Meadowcraft manufactures a variety of cushions to fit wrought
iron, resin and teak furniture. See your Meadowcraft dealer for
cushion styles and pricing. Dealers in your area are listed on
this site.
4. Who do I contact if I did not
receive instructions on how to assemble my wrought iron
furniture?
A. While most of our furniture, such as chairs and chaises, are
ready for use right out of the box, there are some products
which do require minimal assembly. Your furniture should come
with an instruction sheet with information concerning the
assembly of your particular product. If, for some reason, you do
not receive the proper instruction sheet, please contact our
customer service line at 972-239-3716
