Proper cleaning and maintenance are key to preserving CHOUVANT’s furniture—whether it’s used in gardens, outdoor patios, or restaurants—and can extend its lifespan to 5–8 years (or longer). The process varies slightly by material but follows simple, consistent steps.

For cast-aluminum furniture (e.g., Cast Aluminum Series, French Bistro chairs):

Regular cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft cloth dipped in mild soapy water (avoid harsh detergents like bleach or ammonia) to remove dust, pollen, or food residue. For stuck-on stains (e.g., dried sauce on restaurant tables), use a soft-bristle brush to gently scrub the area, then rinse with clean water and dry with a towel to prevent water spots.

Seasonal maintenance: Every 6–12 months, inspect the powder coating for chips or scratches. If small defects are found, touch them up with CHOUVANT’s matching powder coating touch-up paint (available via customer service) to prevent rust from forming. For garden furniture stored outdoors year-round, cover it with a waterproof, breathable furniture cover (recommended by CHOUVANT) during heavy rain or snow.

For rope or Teslin fabric furniture (Rope Series, Teslin Series):

Regular cleaning: Vacuum the rope or fabric surfaces to remove loose dirt or crumbs (critical for restaurant furniture). For deeper cleaning, use a spray bottle to apply mild soapy water, then blot with a clean cloth—avoid soaking the material, as excess moisture can lead to mildew. For outdoor garden furniture, let the material air-dry completely in the sun after cleaning.

Maintenance tips: Avoid placing rope or teslin furniture in areas with constant standing water (e.g., low-lying garden spots) to prevent mildew. For restaurant use, wipe up spills immediately to avoid staining—polyester rope and Teslin fabric are stain-resistant, but prompt cleaning ensures no permanent marks.

For plastic & wood furniture (Plastic & Wood Series):

Regular cleaning: Clean the plastic-wood surface with a mixture of warm water and dish soap, using a sponge or soft cloth. For tough stains (e.g., grease from restaurant grills), add a small amount of baking soda to the soapy water—this is gentle enough not to damage the wood grain texture.

Maintenance tips: Unlike natural wood, CHOUVANT’s plastic-wood material doesn’t require staining or sealing. However, avoid placing it in direct sunlight for 24 hours a day (e.g., uncovered restaurant patios) for extended periods—while the material resists fading, prolonged UV exposure can slightly lighten the color over time. If this occurs, use a plastic-wood cleaner (available at home improvement stores) to restore the original hue.

For all CHOUVANT furniture, avoid using sharp objects (e.g., knives, scissors) that can scratch surfaces, and check hardware (e.g., screws on table legs) quarterly—tighten any loose parts to maintain structural stability, especially for restaurant furniture used daily.
