Finch Outdoor Furniture never needs to be painted or stained because it is built with recycled plastic that will not rot or splinter. The color will never wear off because it is embedded throughout the product. A UV protective agent keeps fading to a minimum. Poly furniture is not affected by most corrosive substances, and will not promote bacterial growth.
Cleaning is easy. Most dirt wipes away with nonabrasive soap and water using a soft sponge. Tight corners can be cleaned with a plastic bristled brush. Surface dust can simply be hosed off. Stubborn marks can be removed with a magic eraser. For rust spots, scrub the furniture with Iron Out. For a deep clean, use a pressure washer on the lightest setting and at no more than 1,500 psi. Do not
place the tip of the pressure washer closer than 10”–12” from the furniture or it may damage the finish.
Surface protection - Flower pot residue should be removed regularly to prevent staining. Do not use sharp objects such as knives on your furniture. Avoid setting items with sharp edges on the furniture, including tools, metal, gravel, or dirty items. To avoid melting, do not place hot items directly onto the furniture.
All fasteners on Finch furniture are 316 grade stainless steel. This high grade stainless steel will not rust in a normal outdoor environment. If your furniture is heavily exposed to saltwater, occasionally rinse it with fresh water to maintain a rust-free surface. All fasteners should be checked periodically for tightness.
Simple cleaning is all you need to do to enjoy beautiful
Finch furniture for many years
Outdoor Upholstery Cleaning Removable Fabric Hand Washing Soak fabric in a solution of ¼ cup mild soap per gallon of lukewarm water. Use a sponge or very soft bristle brush to lightly agitate the stain. Then rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue, and allow fabric to air dry.
Machine washing Some removable casings can be washed in the washing machine, however consult the furniture manufacturer before removing the casing as cushion construction may vary. To wash, first close all zippers. Machine wash in cold water on the delicate cycle with normal amounts of mild laundry detergent. For severe mold or mildew, add 1 cup of bleach. Allow fabric to air dry.
Cleaning Non-Removable Fabric Prepare a solution of ¼ cup mild soap per gallon of lukewarm water. Use a soft bristle brush to clean, allowing the cleaning solution to soak into the fabric. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue and allow fabric to air dry.
Mold and mildew stains Sunbrella fabrics do not promote mildew growth, however, mildew may grow on dirt and other foreign substances if not removed from the fabric. To remove mold or mildew:
• Prepare a solution of 1 cup of bleach and ¼ cup mild soap per gallon of water. • Spray on entire area and allow to soak into the fabric for 15 minutes.
• Clean entire surface area with a sponge, clean towel or very soft bristle brush.
• Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
• Air dry. For severe mold/mildew growth, bleach quantities may be increased. It is best to clean the entire surface area of the fabric to avoid water rings and stains.
