PROPER CARE AND MAINTENANCE FOR (HPDE) POLY FURNITURE

Poly furniture is made from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), a recycled plastic that will never need to be painted or stained. It will not rot or splinter, and it contains an added UV protective agent to resist fading. Poly Furniture is not affected by most corrosive substances and will not promote bacterial growth.

To maintain the beauty of your furniture, clean it regularly with Berlin Gardens Cleaning Products or a non-abrasive soap and water. While most colors need to be cleaned only several times per year using soap and water, certain colors such as white, (but not limited to this color) need to be cleaned frequently to maintain its original beauty. In extreme situations and with colors such as white, spray the furniture thoroughly with a non-abrasive cleaner, then scrub the furniture using a soft bristled brush and rinse off with warm clean water. If needed, spray the furniture with non-abrasive cleaner and wash it using a pressure washer ( not exceeding 1,500 PSI). Do not place the tip of your pressure washer closer than 8″ to 12″ from the furniture, or it will tear into the material.

Do not place flower pots or any items on the furniture that will leave stains. Do not place hot items directly onto the furniture to avoid melting.

All fasteners on furniture manufactured by Berlin Gardens are stainless steel with most fasteners being Chrome Plated. Chrome Plated Stainless Steel is a coated stainless steel and one of the most corrosive resistant fasteners on the market. However, in extreme conditions such as coastal areas, while Chrome Plated Stainless Steel will be less likely to rust, it is still recommended to regularly rinse it with fresh water to ensure the longevity of your furniture and fasteners.

If properly cared for, you will be able to relax in your fine piece of poly furniture for many years!
