We recommend

It is important to store wooden garden furniture in during winter. Store it in a place protected from moisture, cool and ventilated. If you protect it with a cover, use a polyester one better than a PVC one.
Do not let the furniture be in direct contact with a heat source.

Maintenance of the cushions.

Our cushion covers are made of polyester, providing resistance to moisture and chemicals. In case of stains on the cushions, the best way to remove them is to immediately remove the cover and wash them right away. Washing should be done according to the instructions on the label.

We recommend: 

• Avoid direct contact of the cushion covers with a heat source (candle, electrical appliance, heating, etc.).
• The cushion covers are water-resistant, but they are not waterproof. We advise you to cover them in case of not using them or in case of bad weather.
• Be careful not to overload the zipper when inserting the original cushion.
