Cleaning and Care
Teak Parts
Remove debris with a soft nylon bristled brush
Clean the surface using a sponge or damp cloth with water and mild soap.
Soak up any excess water with a microfiber or lint-free cloth
Allow the wood to dry naturally
To help prevent staining on teak components, NewAge recommends applying Golden Care’s Teak Shield on our products.
Follow the application instructions provided with Teak Shield
The teak shield/coating/oil is only to help resist staining, it will not provide total protection. Any spills should
be cleaned immediately to avoid staining and no liquid should be left standing on the teak surface for more than 15
minutes..
Oiling teak parts regularly can help preserve its original golden brown appearance. Follow the
below steps for oiling:
1. Place a cloth or newspaper beneath the teak parts to catch spills. Put on gloves to avoid getting oil on your hand, which
may cause skin irritation.
2. Clean the wooden parts with water and mild soap.
3. Dry the wooden parts after cleaning and leave them for 24–36 hours to remove all moisture before applying the oil.
4. Apply teak oil by using a paint brush or a piece of cloth.
5. Wait fifteen minutes, then wipe down with a cloth.
6. Reapply every 6 months.
Powder Coated Aluminum Parts
Clean with water and a mild liquid detergent to remove any dirt or splashes.
A microfibre cloth or sponge should be used to wipe over the surfaces of the furniture.
Removing surface water with a drying cloth will help avoid water spots.
Avoid using any abrasive cleaning agents or materials, as these could mark the surface of the powder coat.
This material is scratchable, do not use steel wool or Scotchbrite on powder coated surfaces.
Stainless Steel Parts
Wash regularly with clean fresh water, mild detergent and a micro fiber cloth.
After washing rinse with clean water and wipe the surface dry with your cloth remembering to go with the grain on brushed
stainless steel.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or a scouring pad of any type as they will cause excessive wear and dull the finish.
We recommend using a multi-surface cleaner or stainless steel cleaner to remove spots.
If you have oxidation there are a few steps to take to bring your stainless steel parts back to “as new”
condition:
Apply clean water with a cleaning sponge and rub gently in the direction of the grain.
If the mark won’t shift, it may be necessary to use a stainless steel cleaner, in which case apply the cleaner and rub gently.
After cleaning it is important to rinse the stainless steel with clean fresh water and buff with a soft cloth
Remember to always rub with the grain, NEVER across as you will ruin the finish, and the stainless can
lose its shine. If you
must use a scourer, use a plastic scrub pad with no metal content
