OPEN AIR COMPANY

PRODUCT CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Thoughtful care and routine maintenance help preserve the beauty, performance, and longevity of your Open Air Company furniture, allowing each piece to be enjoyed for years of outdoor living.

Powder coated aluminum care

Powder-coated aluminum furniture should be cleaned regularly using a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and clean water to remove dirt, dust, pollen, salt, and other environmental contaminants. After cleaning, thoroughly rinse all surfaces with clean water and dry completely. In coastal or salt-air environments, more frequent cleaning is recommended to help preserve the appearance and longevity of the finish.

Avoid prolonged exposure to standing water, sprinkler overspray, pool chemicals, fertilizers, salt deposits, and other corrosive substances. During extended periods of non-use or severe weather, furniture should be covered or stored whenever practical.

Do not allow metal furniture components to repeatedly strike or rub against one another, and never drag furniture across hard surfaces. Lift furniture when relocating it to help prevent damage to the powder-coated finish. Sharp, coarse, or abrasive objects should not come into contact with painted surfaces. To minimize incidental wear, use protective pads, coasters, trivets, or other non-abrasive protective accessories where appropriate.

Clean spills promptly to help prevent staining or surface discoloration.

Avoid the Following

Do not use cleaning methods or products that may damage the powder-coated finish, including but not limited to:

  • Abrasive pads, brushes, or scouring materials
  • Steel wool or other metallic abrasive products
  • Abrasive powders or polishing compounds
  • Pressure washing equipment
  • Hard-bristle brushes
  • Solvent-based cleaners
  • Acidic or alkaline cleaners
  • Chlorinated cleaners
  • Oxidizing or bleaching agents
  • Strong degreasers
  • Paint removers or paint thinners
  • Petroleum-based solvents
  • Aggressive chemical cleaners
  • Highly concentrated household or industrial cleaning products

Avoid prolonged contact with substances that may stain or degrade finishes, including concentrated pool chemicals, fertilizers, insect repellents, sunscreen products, tree sap, bird droppings, and other harsh environmental contaminants. If contact occurs, clean the affected area promptly.

Damage resulting from improper cleaning methods, abrasive materials, harsh chemicals, environmental neglect, misuse, or normal wear is not covered under warranty.

Structural Performance

To help ensure long-term structural performance and safe operation, furniture should always be used in accordance with the recommended weight capacities and intended use specified for each product.

poly lumber care

Poly lumber furniture should be cleaned regularly using mild soap, clean water, and a soft cloth or sponge to remove dirt, dust, pollen, mineral deposits, and other environmental contaminants. After cleaning, thoroughly rinse all surfaces with clean water and dry completely. In areas with hard water, salt air, heavy pollen, or increased environmental exposure, more frequent cleaning is recommended to help maintain the appearance of the furniture.

Avoid prolonged exposure to standing water, excessive heat sources, open flames, and reflective heat from nearby surfaces. Although poly lumber is highly durable, excessive or concentrated heat may cause surface distortion or warping.

Clean spills promptly, particularly those involving sunscreen, insect repellents, tanning oils, food, beverages, grease, tree sap, bird droppings, fertilizers, or other substances that may stain or discolor the surface if left for extended periods.

Avoid the Following

Do not use cleaning methods or products that may damage the appearance or performance of poly lumber, including but not limited to:

  • Abrasive pads, scouring materials, or steel wool
  • Abrasive powders or polishing compounds
  • Pressure washing equipment
  • Hard-bristle brushes
  • Solvent-based cleaners
  • Paint removers or paint thinners
  • Acidic or alkaline cleaners
  • Chlorinated or oxidizing cleaners
  • Petroleum-based solvents
  • Strong degreasers
  • Harsh industrial or commercial chemical cleaners
  • Aftermarket coatings, paints, sealers, waxes, or surface protectants not specifically approved for poly lumber furniture

Furniture should not be dragged across abrasive surfaces. Lift furniture when relocating it to help prevent unnecessary wear. Sharp or abrasive objects should not be dragged across the material. To help minimize incidental wear, use protective pads, trivets, coasters, or other non-abrasive protective accessories where appropriate.

Damage resulting from improper cleaning methods, harsh chemicals, excessive heat, misuse, environmental neglect, abrasive wear, unauthorized surface treatments, or normal wear is not covered under warranty.

Structural Performance

To help ensure long-term structural performance and safe operation, furniture should always be used in accordance with the recommended weight capacities and intended use specified for each product.

Outdoor fabrics, cushions & upholstery care

Outdoor fabrics and cushions should be cleaned regularly using mild soap, water, and a soft cloth to help prevent dirt, pollen, moisture, and environmental buildup. All cushions and fabrics should be allowed to fully dry before being covered or stored. During extended periods of non-use or severe weather, cushions should be stored in a clean, dry environment whenever possible.

Avoid prolonged exposure to standing water and moisture buildup. Promptly clean sunscreen, insect repellents, tanning oils, food spills, and harsh chemical products to help prevent staining or fabric discoloration.

Some examples that may be harmful to your outdoor fabrics, cushions, & upholstery:

  • Bleach
  • Ammonia
  • Solvent-based cleaners
