Winston Care & Maintenance

REGULAR MAINTENANCE
Fine outdoor furniture deserves exceptional care. Winston furniture can be enjoyed for many years when well maintained. Wash the furniture with a solution of mild detergent and water, rinse with clear water and dry thoroughly. A clear automobile wax can be applied to smooth frame finishes to provide better protection against harmful ultraviolet exposure and salt air. DO NOT use any kind of wax, abrasive materials or strong detergents on TEXTURED finishes. To vinyl lace, strap and mesh seating surfaces, apply a quality vinyl protectant to guard against the effects of air pollution, salt air build-up, and mildew growth. Wash outdoor cushions with a solution of mild detergent and water and thoroughly rinse with clear water. Allow cushions to air dry completely. For best protection, perform this maintenance two to three times a year, although these durable materials can be safely cleaned as often as desired.

HOW TO CLEAN STAINS ON VINYL SLING OR STRAP SEATING
Light stains can be removed with a solution of mild detergent and water, rinsed with clear water and dried thoroughly. Mildew and heavy stains can be removed with a quality commercial outdoor furniture cleaner and proctectant. Note: Some suntan and sun block products may be harmful to resin, cushions, mesh and vinyl lace and straps. Do not allow such products to come in contact with any seating surfaces to avoid deep penetrating stains, which are not covered under warranty.

HOW TO CLEAN WOVEN FURNISHINGS
Woven furnishings are made of durable and weatherproof extruded polyethylene resinweave. Light stains and soils may be removed with a solution of mild powder laundry detergent and water. Apply to the surface with a soft nylon brush. Brush lightly until clean. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry. Avoid using a cloth to wipe clean or dry as it can be abrasive.

HOW TO CLEAN FABRICS
Fine outdoor fabrics were designed to endure years of sun, soil and moisture. Light stains can be removed with a solution of mild detergent and water, rinsed with clear water and dried thoroughly. Mildew and heavy stains can be removed with a quality commercial outdoor furniture cleaner and protectant. Note: Do not dry clean or use a washing machine or dryer. Do not steam or use water at temperatures above 100ºF when washing. Note: Be careful to keep the cleaner from contact with the cushions of your Winston furniture, as it will cause discoloration. Do not use bleach on printed acrylic fabrics. Do not use solvent-type materials on woven vinyl, woven blend or ultra woven blend fabrics as they will damage the yarns. Do not use chlorine based cleaners.

ADJUSTABLE FURNISHINGS
Care should be taken to stabilize chaises at the desired set point before reclining into the furniture. This is best done standing next to the chaise until the desired position is selected and secured. Do not adjust chaise while in use.
