Meadowcraft Care & Maintenance

 

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
