Frequent cleaning using warm water and a soft cloth, with or without a gentle detergent, is sufficient to keep Epoxy Coated steel looking good. This is the only method we recommend to clean these products. Harsh chemicals can erode the surface, which ultimately exposes the steel underneath and rusting can then start. A deep scratch on powder-coated surfaces will penetrate the coating and expose the steel underneath, which will react with oxygen to form iron oxide, which is rust.
Clean with non-abrasive, solvent-free cleaners and a soft cloth. For scratches, buff with ‘Autosol’ metal polish.
Chemical cleaners should not be used. Use only warm soapy water and remove any excess water immediately.
For Laminate tops, follow the same guideline as above. For more stubborn stains, a mild detergent may be used.
Glass is one of the easiest surfaces to clean. Glass can be cleaned using a soft cloth damped with vinegar. Remember to clean dry the surface afterwards as water gathered on the glass may damage it. Periodically polish the glass with crushed newspaper for the added shine. But as there are a combination of wood and tempered glass tops, extra care is to be taken when cleaning. Ammonia, vinegar and other common glass-cleaner ingredients, may damage wood. So, it’s important to use different cleaners for glass and wood, and to keep the glass cleaner from coming into contact with the wood and vice versa.

Prompt cleaning is always recommended. Upholstered cushions should be regularly brushed or vacuumed, but never use a stiff brush as this could damage the fibers. Such care can prevent heavy soiling of fabric and prevent the accumulation of dust and grit, which reduces the life and dulls the colours of fabrics. Flip your seats and back cushions periodically to extend the life of your cushions so that both sides wear evenly through the years. As most of our upholstery are made of foam, it is also advisable to shake them regularly to ensure foam stability. Change the cushions around as some seats tend to get more usage than others.
