Maintenance
It is important to clean garden furniture regularly to ensure it remains attractive for a long time. Light soiling can best be removed using a cloth and clear water. For heavier soiling, a mild detergent may also be used, though this is not often necessary. If possible, however, you should not allow dirt to dry in place, otherwise the furniture becomes more of an effort to clean.
Aluminium and stainless steel furniture should be stored in dry, protected conditions over the winter. Low temperatures are not a problem, so a dry garage or dry cellar is perfectly adequate.
Environmental friendliness
Being environmentally friendly is often a major criterion when buying garden furniture, as are potential health risks due to metals. The latter concern is unfounded, however, since the aluminium of the chairs cannot be absorbed through the skin. Despite many discussions about the effects of aluminium on the human body, you have nothing to worry about in this respect with your garden furniture.
The eco-friendliness of wood, aluminium and stainless steel themselves is more complicated. Wood is not essentially critical, because it is a renewable resource and one that is fully degradable. However, it is important to make sure that the wood comes from certified forestry management. That way you can be sure that your wooden furniture comes from an ecologically responsible source.
In the case of aluminium and stainless steel, on the other hand, environmental compatibility is closely linked to the way it is disposed of at the end of its life. When disposing of your furniture, you should therefore be sure to take it to a recycling centre. If the furniture is disposed of properly, the fabrics can be re-used, leading to much greater eco-friendliness than in the case of improper disposal. For this reason, you yourself can contribute to the eco-friendliness of such furniture by disposing of it correctly. In any case, high-quality furniture from our range is an excellent choice and allows you to upgrade your garden.
