Easy Maintenance for Your POLYWOOD Adirondack Chairs
POLYWOOD® material, used to craft our premium Adirondack chairs, is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic resin that has been purified and UV-protected. This ensures that your plastic Adirondack chairs are durable and easy to care for, maintaining their pristine condition for years to come.
Simple Cleaning Instructions
To keep your recycled Adirondack chairs looking their best, follow these straightforward cleaning tips:
Regular Cleaning: Use soap and warm water to clean your POLYWOOD Adirondack chairs. This method is sufficient for everyday dirt and grime.
Stubborn Stains: Mix a solution of 1/3 bleach and 2/3 water for tougher stains. This can be applied without affecting the colour of your chairs.
Power Washing: A high-pressure power wash (not exceeding 1,500 psi, similar to a car wash) can be used for a deep clean. Use a soft bristle brush to reach into creases and ensure all dirt is removed.
Durable Hardware
Our Adirondack chairs are assembled using 18-8 commercial-grade stainless steel hardware, which includes an additional Xylan® protective and cosmetic coating. This high-quality hardware is highly resistant to corrosion, though it may show some signs of wear in salt air environments.
Maintaining Hardware in Salt Air Environments
If you notice signs of corrosion on the hardware of your Adirondack chairs, here are practical steps to address it:
Wash with Soap and Water: Regularly clean the hardware with soap and water to prevent buildup.
Scrub with a Soft Bristle Brush: Gently scrub the corroding areas with a soft bristle brush to remove any corrosion.
Protect with Appliance Touch-Up Paint: Use appliance touch-up paint in the appropriate color to protect the hardware. This paint is readily available at local hardware stores.
By following these maintenance tips, your recycled plastic Adirondack chairs will continue to look beautiful and perform flawlessly, enhancing your outdoor spaces with their sustainable, stylish design.
