Care and Maintenance
Furniture - A mild liquid soap is highly recommended when you wash your furniture. When applying the touch-up paint, all surfaces must be completely clean and dry. Lightly sanding the area is recommended before apply the touch-up paint if the furniture is scratched down to the bare metal. Allow the paint to dry completely after brushing.
Wood - Periodic application of wood preservative or water sealer is recommended to keep your wood slats looking new and to prevent weathering. Please sand off the clear protective coating before applying the wood preservative or water sealer.
Cast Iron - Apply periodically with furniture wax to protect the powder coat finish. Should the powder coat finish be scratched down to the metal surface, it is necessary to cover the scratched area with touch-up paint as soon as possible to prevent rust. For the finish with accented top coats are applied by hand and may face with age and exposure to sunlight. Re-top coating of accents can be done by the local craftsmen, if you desire.
Aluminum – Aluminum is a soft metal. For those products designated as Aluminum, please take care when tightening nuts and bolts. Excessive pressure can damage or strip the soft metal.
Important Recommendations - Store or cover your product when not in use for certain period of time; check and tighten fasteners periodically as necessary; using automotive caring products on Innova products is not recommended.
