PRODUCT CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for your purchase! Your new Barton patio set and accessories are designed for many years
of enjoyment with proper care. Please adopt the following practices to ensure the longevity of your
purchase.
General Cleaning
Regular cleaning should be done with a damp, non-colored, non-abrasive cloth soaked in clear water.
Use mild soap as necessary. Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners and power washers. Clean spills
immediately with a damp, non-colored, non-abrasive cloth and mild soap solution to avoid staining.
To protect the nish of painted metal products from scratches, dulling, and wear and tear, apply
a clear coat, such as an epoxy clear coat, at least once per year. If the nish becomes scratched
or chipped, move quickly to apply touch up paint to avoid exposure of the underlying metal to the
elements. Lightly sand the area to be painted with 600 grit or ner sandpaper. Wipe the area clean.
Then, hold the paint can 8-10 inches away from the surface and sweep the area applying a thin coat
of paint each pass. Allow the paint to dry between each coat. Alternatively, you may apply paint to
a separate surface then use a
small brush to touch-up the scratched area. If you are repairing a nish that consists of more than
one color, rst apply the base coat, then apply the highlight color using a small brush, per the
methods described above. You may want to test on a piece of cardboard or other surface before
working on the product.
Tubular/cast iron products will eventually rust. More frequent maintenance and application of clear
coats, covering the sets when not in use to protect from exposure, and especially prompt attention
to scratches or chips will prolong the life of iron sets. However, because of the nature of iron, it will
eventually rust when exposed to humidity and/or the elements. Rusting or oxidation is not covered
under the Limited Warranty.
Using the product in a coastal environment places higher demand on the surface nish due to the
eects of salty/corrosive air. More frequent cleaning (weekly or biweekly) is necessary to remove
any buildup of salt residue. Quarterly application of a clear coat is necessary to maintain a strong
surface nish in this type of environment.
For all items, avoid exposure, especially prolonged exposure to harsh environments including rain,
snow, or other wet conditions, direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, and salty or
corrosive air. Products should be covered or brought indoors when not in use, especially when not in
use for prolonged periods of time, or when otherwise exposed to harsh weather such as winter. Do
not put hot items directly on furniture surface. Always use coasters, placemats, trivets, or hot pads.
Do not clean
with harsh cleaners or polish. Do not place near heating or cooling vents.
MESH CLEANING
Remove light stains with a solution of mild detergent and water, then rinse with clear water and dry
thoroughly. Mildew and heavy stains can be removed with a quality commercial outdoor furniture
cleaner and protectant.
