Do not use a plastic tablecloth on the table. Exposed to UV and heat, it would melt and act as a decal,
especially on steel, aluminum and glass. This would result in irreparable deterioration of the tray in the
form of white streaks. Instead, use a fabric tablecloth.
Watch out for blows from knives and other sharp objects handled nearby. Watch out too for burns from
cigarettes and from other heat sources.
If you don't use your cushions for a long period, it is advised to put them away to avoid possible
discolouration during too long an exposure to UV rays.
3/ Maintenance and ageing, siding
It is normal to note natural wear and tear of the product over time and with use, in the form of an
alteration of the colours and the state of the surface, the mechanical functions and tightening of the
screwed elements.
Tightening
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.
