How do I care for my Legacy Fine Casual Furniture?
Fine outdoor / indoor furniture deserves exceptional care. Legacy Fine Casual Furniture can be enjoyed for many years when well maintained.
Legacy’s aluminum casual furniture is designed to require minimum care. Regular maintenance of the furniture will extend its life and will keep it looking beautiful. The frames are finished using high quality paints. Regular cleaning with a mild soap and water solution is recommended. The preferred soap would be an automotive type wash that is safe for use on clear coat finishes. Inspect the frame bi-annually for any scratches or chips. To prevent further damage, use a touch up paint that is available to match all frame colors through your dealer. Frames should be waxed as needed to insure protection from the elements. Frames should not be used in standing water or left submerged in water for any reason. Frames should be stored in an upright position to allow moisture to drain eliminating cracking from frozen stored water. Furniture can be covered using a quality cover that "breathes" or allows air to circulate over the frame. The frames feature a nylon glide at the bottom of all legs that is designed to protect the frame and the resting surface. The glides, available from your local dealer, should be inspected quarterly and replaced if needed.
Cushion Care
Cushion fabric should be cleaned regularly before substances such as dirt, mold,& mildew, etc., are allowed to accumulate on and become embedded in the fabric. Simply brush off any dirt, etc.; clean with water and a mild natural soap (no more than 100 F). Rinse thoroughly to remove soap.
Our Cushion fabrics are made from 100% acrylic fiber and are heat sensitive. When washing or cleaning, DO NOT SUBJECT TO EXCESSIVE HEAT as the fabric will shrink. DO NOT STEAM PRESS OR DRY IN ELECTRIC OR GAS DRYERS. Allow fabric to air dry.
All fabrics stored during the winter season should be cleaned, allowed to air dry and stored in a dry, well ventilated area.
For Sunbrella fabrics please see CARE & CLEANING at www.sunbrella.com for more specific cleaning instructions.
Sling Seating Care
Sling seating is made using high quality woven vinyl fabrics or acrylic blended fabrics. Fabrics have been factory treated to resist stains and mildew. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water using a sponge or soft brush is recommended. To remove mildew stains, use a solution of one cup bleach and one half cup laundry detergent mixed in a gallon of warm water. Apply solution to the seating surface, allow soaking for ten minutes, thoroughly rinsing, and allowing to air dry before using.
