The assembly parts of your product become loose over time. Think of tightening them
regularly.
Exposure to UV rays
Over time, you can see a discoloration of the materials exposed to UV rays (textiles,
paint, plastics), a phenomenon also due to the rays of the sun as well as those of the
moon. This evolution of colours exposed to external elements is normal and concerns
in particular bright colours.
Everyday maintenance
Your product is subject to external elements, it must therefore be regularly cleaned.
Remove stains immediately.
Clean with a damp cloth soaked in warm soapy water (or hot water for more marked
dirt) or a specific, adapted product.
Rinse thoroughly.
Finish with a clean, dry cloth.
If in doubt, consult a reseller or the material sheet on the Hesperide.com website.
In the absence of regular cleaning your product will imperatively deteriorate.
Cushions care instructions
Wash by hand in warm water. Do not dry-clean, do not use the tumble dryer, do not
use the iron. Leave to dry in the sun before putting the cushions back in place.
Weather conditions (wind, rain, snow, hail, salty winds)
The outdoor furniture is designed to be used in normal outdoor weather conditions.
Strong climatic hazards or exceptional weather conditions can have repercussions on
the look, correct use and lifespan of the product. It is strongly advised to use tarpaulin
with a ventilation system during the season when the furniture remains outside.
Rain and humidity
If it is left out in water, the furniture will take several days to dry. Nothing abnormal in
that, but ensure that you wipe it to prevent the water from stagnating on it. The
presence of prolonged humidity speeds up the product ageing and favours the
appearance of rust indeed mould.
Temperature conditions
Outdoor furniture is not made to bear low temperature conditions, even less winter
temperatures, which are likely to alter its correct operating and its surface condition. it
is also sensitive to ambient humidity. It is therefore advised to store it in a dry,
ventilated and closed place. Putting a tarpaulin on it is therefore not necessary. Before
any siding, clean and dry the products well, to prevent the appearance of unpleasant
odours or
mould.
If you do not have a dry, ventilated and closed place, the use of tarpaulin with a
ventilation system is essential to cover the furniture that remains outside. A protective
tarpaulin in fact reduces the impact of external aggressions (damage due to trees,
animals, pollution,...) over its lifespan. If the floor is damp, it is advised to insert a
wedge between the floor and the feet to avoid a transfer of humidity. In the event of a
table that spends winter outside, giving a slight angle also prevents water and dead
leaves collecting on the tarpaulin.
In the event of prolonged non-use, if the storage and tidying away recommendations
are not followed, the result will be an accelerated deterioration to its surface condition
and its correct operating.
Protection of the screws and bolts
Steel is a material that exposed to external elements (humidity, salty winds) will
naturally oxidise. To prevent the appearance of rust, our steel furniture is delivered
original with an Epoxy treatment. However this layer gradually disappears under the
effect of external elements and must be renewed regularly. For this, apply an anti-rust
aerosol at least once at the beginning and end of the season (available in hardware
shops or DIY shops). Increase the treatment frequency every 3 months for furniture
exposed to salty sea winds.
The screws and bolts must also be the subject of such a treatment.
If the rust appears despite all that, it can easily be treated and removed with the usual
products such as white vinegar or citric acid. A cloth soaked with car polish can also
