CARE & MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
Source Furniture collections are easy to care for and by following these care and maintenance tips you will ensure
longevity of our products:
Seaside Usage
Source Furniture recommends regular cleaning to avoid buildup of oxidation and waxing the frames quarterly to
help with their longevity. Some car waxes can be used for this purpose. Failure to clean and maintain your furniture
may result in blistering and may void any warranty. A log of your cleaning, done at regular intervals, must be kept in
order to maintain your warranty coverage.
Aluminum Frame Finishes
You should clean your powder coated aluminum furniture at least once every season. To maintain the frame finish,
Source Furniture recommends using a mild soap and warm water solution. Use¼ cup of soap to one gallon of water
using a soft rag or sponge to clean frames. After applying the soap and water simply rinse off with clean water. For
tougher cleaning, add a natural acid like lemon juice or white vinegar to the warm water and soap solution. Apply
the mixture with a clean sponge and scrub aluminum furniture thoroughly. This should eliminate any discoloration
and get rid of dirt and debris build-up from being outside. Do not use bleach on any frames, as this will void all
warranties. Never use ammonia, ammonia-based products, TSP or baking soda to clean powder coated aluminum
furniture. To protect your Aluminum Furniture, it is recommended to move it indoors or using furniture covers.

elements can take a toll on stainless steel, speeding up corrosion process. Regular cleaning can help slow down the
corrosion process. Commercial stainless steel cleaners can be used following the product's instructions to prevent

Galvanized Steel Frame Furniture
Galvanized steel is easy to keep clean as it is virtually maintenance free. A mild soap and water solution is
recommended to keep the surface clean. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Duraweave / Wicker
Woven furnishings are made of durable and weather-resistant extruded polyethylene wicker. Light stains and soils
may 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. Woven
furnishings may not be suitable for intensely hot climates. If placed outdoors, the furniture will last longer by
storing in a cool place with furniture covers.
Table Tops
Source Furniture table tops are designed for normal indoor and outdoor use in commercial settings. If tabletop is
stained with products such as wine, soda, coffee, or other colorants of organic origin, clean spills immediately with a
mild detergent then rinse with water. In extreme cold climates, it is recommended that table tops be stored in a dry
indoor area or be covered with suitable furniture covers. Be sure to allow space between the tabletop and the cover
so that moisture does not collect on the table; this will promote airflow and allow moisture to escape.
Durawood
Durawood is virtually maintenance free as with most treated lumber or wood fiber composite products. It has
extraordinary resistance to fading, moisture, insects, splintering, and other elements resulting from environmental
stress. To maintain Durawood material, wipe the surface with a damp cloth or spray with a garden hose. For
stubborn dirt, the surface may be washed with a mild solution of detergent or dishwashing soap in water, then
rinsed thoroughly and allowed to dry completely. To repair minor scratches on the surface of the material, use a
600-grit sandpaper and sand in the direction of the grain.
