Giati’s First European Quality
(FEQ) teak naturally contains high amounts of oils
and resins. Please refer to the section entitled
Natural
Teak Finish (For Outdoor Use) for expectations
as your furniture weathers.
It is normal for some of the natural resins in the
teak to leach out when it is exposed to a damp climate
or rain. In order to protect the underside of your
cushions, we highly recommend removing them when
the furniture is damp or wet. Eventually, after
exposure to the elements, these resins will stop
leaching out, and cushion removal should no longer
be so necessary. Should you happen to leave the
cushions on the furniture while wet, a rust colored
stain may appear on the underside. Clean the cushions
immediately using a soft brush and a mild soap and
water solution. If not treated quickly, the stain
on the underside or backside of your cushions may
prove to be irreversible.
Giati’s cushions are made of Dri-Fast®
Foam, which releases moisture and dries quickly.
However, in a heavy or continuous rain your cushions
may become saturated. To dry them out faster, remove
them from the furniture and place upright on their
sides in a sunny area. This will allow the water
to drain out of the cushion core faster. For any
water or environmental staining, clean the cushions
using a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution.
For stubborn stains, contact Giati for more specific
cleaning suggestions. |
