Outdoor Furniture Care & Maintenance

We source high quality, sustainably harvested solid teak that can withstand the harsh effects of severe Australian weather and pests without diminishing its durability or appearance. Teak is virtually maintenance-free and can be left outside all year round. New teak will experience a natural maturing process, and over time if left untreated in the rain or direct sunlight, it will turn a silver-grey. This process is simply cosmetic and does not damage the wood.

 

Maintenance & Care Tips

Sunbrella fabrics are globally renowned for their high-quality characteristics including mould and mildew resistance, UV and fade resistance, and bleach-cleanable fabrication.

We do not recommend using steam on Sunbrella fabric. Instead, if the fabric has some wrinkling, simply use an iron on its synthetic setting.

 

Maintenance & Care Tips

For Easy Day-to-Day Maintenance:

1. Brush off loose dirt.
2. Spray on a cleaning solution of water and mild soap.
3. Use a soft bristle brush to clean.
4. Allow the cleaning solution to soak into the fabric.
5. Rinse thoroughly until all soap residue is removed.
6. Air dry.

For More Thorough Cleaning:

All Adriatic chairs with slings are created with Ferrari Batyline mesh, a high-quality French fabrication distinguished by its durability. Batyline mesh is 100% synthetic, allowing a maximum stretch of 5% and a strong resistance to rot and mildew, with an ability to withstand harsh Australian weather.

 

Maintenance & Care Tips

A selection of Adriatic’s outdoor and lifestyle range is made using German Akzo Nobel Charcoal Powder Coated Stainless Frames. The stainless steel is sandblasted and then coated with German Akzo Powder Coatings, resulting in a seamless appearance that is highly impervious to corrosion, water-resistant and easy to clean.

 

Some products in our range feature powder-coated aluminium, designed specifically for outdoor furniture. The powder coating is electrostatically charged and then baked and cured onto the aluminium. The result is a stylish, corrosion-resistant new addition to your backyard.

 

Maintenance & Care Tips

1. Gently clean with water, a mild liquid detergent and a microfibre cloth to remove any grime.
2. Remove surface water with a drying cloth, to avoid water spots.
3. Avoid any abrasive cleaning agents, steel wool or Scotchbrite on powder-coated surfaces.
4. Avoid contact with heat, bird droppings, liquid and direct sunlight.

Many items in our range feature the globally-renowned, premium synthetic weaving material, Raucord. This completely weather-proof material is manufactured with precise German engineering technology to offer strength and flexibility – preventing sagging, cracking and breaking.

Raucord is easy to maintain. The highly durable wicker is resistant to chlorine, salt water, and tanning lotions and oils, allowing for plenty of poolside action.

 

Maintenance & Care Tips

Adriatic uses UQD-Urecel Quick Dry internal foam cushions. This advanced, high-performing foam is perfect for outdoor furniture, promoting quick drainage and air circulation.

Urecel Quick dry foam has been specifically designed for outdoor use in residential locations. Unlike conventional foam, quick dry foam drains quickly allowing the cushions to dry fast even after being saturated while protecting it against mould growth. This is thanks to the open-cell structural makeup which allows water and air to easily pass through the material. Another advantage of using quick dry foam cushions is that they can remain considerably cleaner than conventional foam cushions. Dirt, dust and irritants can get trapped in the structure of traditional foam which is almost impossible to get out. When dirt is noticeable on quick dry cushions, it can be easily cleaned with a light hose down. The cushions can then be placed in a well-ventilated area to dry out.

Quick dry foam is a highly resilient and durable material and is recommended if you want to leave your outdoor furniture outside exposed to the elements all year round. In the event your cushions are exposed to the wet, it is advised you tip them on their side and all the water to run directly out of the cushions.
