• Arhaus collections are crafted by artisans from around the world and are expertly designed to withstand everyday use. However, as even the best-made furnishings and décor are not indestructible, normal wear and tear will reflect use and care.
• To preserve the finish and look of your outdoor furniture pieces while not in use, store them indoors or cover them securely during winter, heavy rain, and other periods of inclement weather.
• Before storing, clean fabrics and ensure cushions are free of moisture, dirt, and debris.
• In saltwater environments, rinse furniture and wash with soap weekly to remove salt deposits that can damage finishes.
• In freezing environments, thoroughly clean and dry, then store in a dry place (such as a garage or shed) to protect your pieces from moisture damage.
• Avoid letting water stand on surfaces and cushions.
• Outdoor cushions should be dusted weekly with a soft-bristle brush to remove dirt.
• Vacuum outdoor upholstery occasionally, using upholstery and crevice attachments to clean up loose particles.
• Spot-clean outdoor cushions and upholstery using a clean, absorbent, undyed cloth with a blotting motion. Blot from the outside towards the middle of the soiled area to prevent rings. Never scrub.
• For tough stains, spray the area lightly with clear, mild dish soap, liquid laundry detergent, or cleaning solvent and water. Agitate with a sponge or soft-bristle brush as necessary. Blot clean and thoroughly rinse with water to remove residue. Allow to air-dry.
• If needed, outdoor fabrics can be cleaned using a diluted solution of 1 cup bleach and ¼ cup mild soap per gallon of water. Apply the solution lightly using a spray bottle and agitate with a sponge or soft-bristle brush. Blot and rinse thoroughly. Allow to air-dry.
• Before cleaning, pre-test upholstery cleaners for color loss and compatibility by applying a small amount to a hidden section of fabric.
• If you are mixing cleaners, dilute the mixture using distilled water. Be careful not to over-wet your furniture.
• Avoid over-rubbing and never clean fabrics with a hard-bristle brush as this could damage fibers.
• For best results, follow use instructions for all cleaning products carefully. Do not over apply.
• For overall cleaning or to clean any overly soiled upholstery, we recommend contacting a professional cleaning service.
