Hydrochloric acid or products containing chlorides (they can corrode stainless steel).
2. Salt, limestone or acids (drinks and food) may discolour parts made of stainless steel if nor cleaned promptly.
3. Products or parts made of stainless steel used near the seaside or for the interior decoration of swimming pools require more frequent cleaning in order to remove chlorites deposited on them and to prevent corrosion and chemical deterioration of the external surfaces.
4. Stains or rust noted on stainless steel surfaces must be cleaned promptly.
5. Stains left in place for long periods may become permanent.
6. Rust may cause chemical reactions or corrode stainless steel.

Varnished metals: Iron and Aluminium

To clean surfaces in varnished metals, use cold water and nonabrasive or aggressive liquid detergents.
Apply with a soft cloth. In the case of very dirty and/or aged surfaces, after cleaning, it is advisable to treat them with liquid
paraffin. Apply with a soft cloth to revitalize the surfaces. In the event of stains caused by lime deposits on varnishes of coarse structure (eg. antique iron and indian brown) clean them with a cloth and a solution of white wine vinegar diluted in cold water. Before winter, carry out the cleaning phase and then treat the surfaces, moving parts and screws with liquid paraffin, using a soft cloth. Small scratches or damage to the varnished surfaces due to transportation, improper use or handling can be retouched and protected from corrosion with special varnishes.

Wood: Iroko

Traditional wood employed for outdoor furniture and the marine industry. Iroko is a hardwood with a high oil content, suitable for
external use. Extremely long-lasting. It is practically unalterable to repeated exposure to atmospheric factors. If not treated, the surface takes a silver-grey coating which is the natural protection from inside the wood, considered an essential part of Iroko’s
charm.
The natural tendency of wood to turn gray or lose the brightness of the paint can be prevented in the early stages of the product
life. The parasol can be restored by a new treatment with proper products easy to find in specialized shops.
It’s necessary to apply a solution of water and colourless oil, to exposed surfaces with a cloth. The oil must be highly diluted.
When the surface is dry, polish with a cloth. Superficial stains can be removed by intervening in time, before the wood can fully absorb them. Gently sand the surface in question and then polish with a rough cloth.

Synthetic fabrics: Acryl and Polyester

The fabric is waterproof and anti mould treated to reject water, spots and grant transpiration. Please follow our maintenance instruction to grant the long lasting of the fabric:

  • Remove often dust deposits, spots and any type of dirt in order to avoid trails after cleaning.
  • It’s very important to close the parasol only when it is perfectly dry. During the winter and when the parasol is not employed, it has to be stored in dry environment. During the winter and when the parasol is not employed, it has to be stored in dry environment.

Avoid prolonged contact with oily substances and/or dyes that could be absorbed by the covering material in PVC and cause permanent stains, in addition to damaging the structure of the thread. Do not use solvents or solvent-based detergents (avoid
acetone).
Use water and non-abrasive, colourless liquid detergents with a neutral PH. Let the detergent act for a few minutes. Rinse well with water no warmer than 30°C.

Directions

  • Before use, directions and assembling instructions, which are
    inside the package, have to be kept and read carefully.
