CARE INSTRUCTIONS
1/ Your product
Properties
Acacia is a hardwearing exotic wood covered with a protective oil.
To begin with it presents a golden brown sheen but it turns to a grey/green tone when exposed to bad weather and UV rays. It nonetheless retains its properties.
Polyester is a synthetic fabric that offers good resistance to tearing and rubbing.
Manufacturing and assembly
The manufacturing then assembly of this product requires leaving clearance between the different parts.
It is therefore normal to observe gaps/slack that may reach several millimetres between the different assembled elements (between two slats, between boards...).
This tolerance necessary for the correct realisation of your product can be behind little geometric differences.
This does not lead to any loss of function of your product.
Irregular appearance
Each product is manufactured and assembled industrially from parts whose surface treatment is carried out individually, before assembly. These metallic elements cannot be
free from appearance irregularities coming both from the surface treatment process and assembly operations. The final appearance of the product is therefore directly linked to
these possible irregularities.
Regularity of seams
Although we pay special attention to the quality and regularity of seams, it is possible to notice that some threads are not cut after the break point of the seam. There is no risk of
the seam becoming undone. Cut this thread with a simple pair of scissors.
2/ Precautions for use
Before using this chair for the first time, we recommend that you thoroughly clean the various elements with a cloth dampened in soapy water, then apply a thin layer of
protective oil, allow to dry in the shade before wiping with a clean cloth excess oil that would not have penetrated the wood. Start again after 48 hours. There is no need to switch
your furniture to sandpaper.
We do not recommend the use of a stain or varnish which forms a surface layer and prevents the wood from breathing. It is preferable to apply an oil which will deeply
impregnate the wood.
Be careful, wood is a living material: it may release tannins during the first days of use. We therefore recommend installing the product first directly on the lawn, until the wood no
longer releases tannins. If you were to put it on a hard terrace, be sure to leave wedges under your feet for a few days. If in spite of everything, tannins come to soil your terrace,
get to a specialize store to choose the cleaning product most suited to your type of terrace. But be aware that it is possible to clean the traces of tannins even on the most porous
materials, with a high pressure jet.
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.
