Casual outdoor furniture generally uses PE rattan imitation material, aluminum frame, teak surface, Textilene mesh fabric, and other materials. Products from reputable factories focus on quality, ensuring better product reliability. As the largest and longest-standing source factory for casual outdoor furniture, Xishan Group reminds everyone of the following precautions when using outdoor furniture daily:

  1. Outdoor rattan imitation furniture and Textilene mesh fabric: be careful not to scratch or cut with sharp objects, avoid proximity to high-temperature fire sources, and clean by rinsing directly with water. Do not use acidic cleaners.

  1. Resysta grain wood has the same appearance as wood, is waterproof, mold-proof, insect-proof, does not swell, break, or crack, and the base material does not fade, turn gray, or age. It can resist fungal erosion. Therefore, Resysta grain wood requires no special maintenance or care. However, it should be protected from collisions and scratches from sharp objects, and kept away from heat sources above 75 degrees Celsius, as this can cause deformation.


3. Aluminum frame: choose aluminum frames that have been sprayed, not raw aluminum material, because unsprayed aluminum is easily oxidized, affecting strength and service life; aluminum frames do not rust and require no special care.

  1. Sunshade umbrellas: if the umbrella surface is dirty, clean with water or mild detergent. Avoid using hard brushes or other abrasive scrubbing on the surface to prevent damage to the fabric. It is recommended to use a sponge with clean water for rinsing. Always close the umbrella during strong winds. The umbrella base is heavy, so handle with care to avoid injury;

  1. Teak has natural premium qualities and is one of the best woods for outdoor use, suitable for long-term outdoor exposure. For maintenance, gently sand the surface with fine sandpaper and apply specialized teak oil evenly on the surface. Generally, maintenance is done every 6 months; when teak furniture is exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, ultraviolet rays can cause fine cracks on the surface or the color may turn grayish-white or even black. Such drastic temperature changes also affect the secretion of its oils, damaging the wood. It is recommended to move teak furniture away from direct sunlight or add shading to partially block UV rays.
