PRODUCT CARE
It goes without saying that outdoor furniture has to endure far harsher conditions than indoor furniture. From sub-zero temperatures in Winter to sweltering heat and high humidity in Summer, outdoor furniture needs to be able to endure everything Mother Nature throws at it.Gloster, use only the finest materials in the manufacture of our products and you can ensure your furniture enjoys a long and trouble-free life with just a little basic maintenance every year.Gloster's woven, metal and sling products require only the most simple of cleaning regimes to keep them looking as good as new. Metal furniture can attract dirt and stains and therefore needs periodic cleaning with Gloster's ‘Metal Cleaner' or ‘Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polisher'.Likewise, both the sling and man-made wicker woven furniture needs only an occasional clean with Gloster's special non-foaming ‘Sling & Woven Cleaner'. Contrary to popular belief, teak furniture does not require any special maintenance routine or any additional protection apart from occasional cleaning. If left to age naturally outside by being exposed to light, air and rain, then the surface of the teak will gradually change to a soft, silver-grey as the pigments in the surface layer of the wood slowly start to fade away. We recommend that you allow your teak furniture to weather naturally this way and simply clean thoroughly this way and simply clean thoroughly once or twice a year with our ‘Teak Cleaner'. To protect teak surfaces from standing and to help maintain the silver-grey patina on weathered teak, we recommend using Gloster's ‘Teak Stain Protector' which repels moisture and minimizes the likelihood of stains caused by food and drinks. If you want to retain the golden-brown colour of new teak Gloster also offers a ‘Teak Sealer'. Application of ‘Teak Sealer' will not affect the strength or longevity of the furniture in any way, just its appearance. If you elect to use ‘Teak Sealer' you will be embarking on a regular maintenance program as ‘Teak Sealer' needs to be regularly reapplied to provide continuous protection.
All of Gloster's product care items are water-based, making them both non-toxic and environmentally friendly.
