Care & Maintenance

How to care for your Woodard furniture to prolong its life.

Fabrics

Spot wash by sponging briskly with a mild soap in lukewarm water (do not exceed 100°F) Thoroughly rinse with clean water to remove soap. Allow to air dry completely before storing.

Insect repellents and suntan lotions can reduce the life of fabrics, accelerate fading and stain fabrics. To avoid damage, wipe clean with mild laundry detergent and warm water. Do not use bleach or harsh detergents under any circumstances.

DO NOT USE STEAM. Acrylic fibers are made of 100% acrylic fiber and are thermoplastic or heat sensitive. When spot washing, use lukewarm water (under 100°F) and allow to air dry. Do not use solvents, carbon tetrachloride, scouring agents, bleach, janitorial cleansers, gasoline or brushes.

Vinyl Straps

Clean with mild laundry detergent and warm water. Strap contains an effective fungicide and UV stabilizers.

To remove scuff marks on vinyl straps, apply toothpaste or gentle abrasive to a clean, dry cloth and rub gently. To remove mildew, use a solution of warm water, mild laundry detergent and chlorine bleach (no more than 1/4 cup to three gallons of water). Never use a solvent-type solution.

Insect repellents and suntan lotions can reduce the life of vinyl plastic, accelerate fading and stain straps. To avoid damage, wipe clean with mild laundry detergent and warm water.

DO NOT USE solvents, scouring agents, carbon tetrachloride, undiluted bleach, janitorial cleansers or gasoline. If in doubt about using a detergent, choose an inconspicuous area and  test the cleaner.

HDPE Wicker Weaves

For best results, clean regularly with mild detergent and warm water. Cleaning will help prevent mildew by washing out dirt particles that may become trapped. Shake out excess moisture after rinsing and allow to dry thoroughly before storing.

Iron Frames

Clean with warm soapy water. Damage to the paint finish may cause corrosion; touch up with paint immediately. To maintain the gloss on non-textured finishes, protect with a fine automotive wax.

Woodard’s multi-step finishing process results in a stain-resistant finish. Severe stains may require light sanding and touch-up painting.

The finish on Woodard furniture is formulated and baked on to make it highly resistant to repellents and lotions. However, to avoid discoloration, clean metal parts of these products frequently.

Frame finish touch-up instructions: When covering small spots of surface rust, clean area by sanding lightly and wipe immediately to prevent rust. When preparing scratched areas for touch-up painting, rub lightly with fine steel wool to smooth the surface and improve paint adhesion. Apply thin coats of touch-up paint and allow ample drying time between coats.

Aluminum Frames

Clean with a solution of warm water and mild soap. Use a fine automotive wax to maintain the gloss on non-textured finishes.

Frame finish touch-up instructions: When using touch-up paints, please follow instructions and cautions on product labels. If covering scratches, rub lightly with fine steel wool to smooth the surface and improve paint adhesion. Apply thin coats of touch-up paint and allow ample drying time between coats.

NexTeak

NexTeak requires no staining, painting or weatherproofing. It is highly resistant to alcohol, juice, and coffee spills under normal conditions and does not stain from normal household liquids.  Cleaning is simple - a mild soapy solution is usually sufficient to remove dirt and debris.

Oil stains can be removed using non-abrasive cleaners.

Scratches and scuffs can be easily repaired using a scouring pad and sanding lightly with the grain.

Tempered Glass Table Tops

Clean regularly with a soft cloth, a mild detergent and warm water. Buff dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.

DO NOT USE solvents, scouring agents, carbon tetrachloride, undiluted bleach, janitorial cleansers, or gasoline.
