MAINTENANCE GUIDE

Teak wood maintenance
Depending on the environmental conditions, a natural greyish colouring or fading due to climate may be noted after only a few weeks. In drier climates, it could take months for the wood to be affected.
Although it may appear rough and worn over time, teak has enough natural oils to protect itself from rot. In simple terms, rough teak is only a cosmetic, and not a maintenance, problem. If you prefer a smoother surface, we recommend sanding the wood by hand with very fine sandpaper.
If you wish to maintain the nature silver colour, use GRUPO KETTAL teak cleaner to clean it. If you prefer the new teak to have a golden-brown colour, first use GRUPO KETTAL teak cleaner ref. 8010-001 to restore the colour and then apply GRUPO KETTAL teak protector ref. 8010-002 to preserve it. GRUPO KETTAL maintenance products dry soon after they are applied and protect furniture from the sun, rain and snow.
We recommend treating the wood before storing it for the winter and at the beginning of its season of regular use.

Maintenance of Kettal synthetic fibre and porotex textile.
The only maintenance required for the synthetic fibre and the porotex mesh is an
annual cleaning to get rid of dust and environmental debris (oils, damp) that can be trapped in the mesh or braiding. We recommend spraying the furniture with GRUPO KETTAL universal cleaner ref. 8010-000, then wiping it gently with a soft sponge and rinsing with water. Rinsing the synthetic fibre with pressurized water provides better results.
It is advisable to clean the synthetic fibre before storing it for the winter and at the beginning of its season of regular use.

The cloth selected by GRUPO KETTAL offers an exceptional grammage with a

Fabric maintenance is simple: Brush the fabric occasionally; the fabric can be machine washed at any time following the instructions on the inner label.
Throughout the fabric’s useful life, we recommend maintaining the exclusive fluorocarbon impermeable treatment by applying GRUPO KETTAL Fabric Protector ref. 8010-003 according to the instructions.
