New Teak Furniture: Teak is rich in natural oils, and some may surface during the first few rainfalls or humid days. These oils can stain fabric, so wipe the frame with a damp cloth before placing cushions, and bring cushions indoors during the first few rainfalls until the teak begins to weather. Teak oil stains aren't covered under warranty.

Weathering: Left outdoors, teak weathers to a silver-gray patina, usually within nine to twelve months. Small surface cracks ("checking"), a slightly raised grain after the first rains, and water spots are normal. They're cosmetic and even out over time. To keep the golden-brown color, apply Kingsley Bate Teak Protector each season. The woven fibers resist fading, cracking and tearing; after years outdoors, subtle shifts in color and texture are normal.

Woven Seats: Kingsley Bate woven seats and backs are hand-woven from UV-resistant polyethylene wicker, made for direct sun, rain, poolside and salt air. Colors can vary slightly from piece to piece because of dye lots, variegated fibers and hand weaving, so a piece added to an existing set may not match exactly.

Cleaning Teak: Rinse with a garden hose (never high pressure, which can erode the wood). Scrub with a soft bristle brush and a solution of 2/3 cup laundry detergent (or 1/4 cup high-efficiency detergent) and 1/4 cup bleach in 1 gallon of warm water, then rinse thoroughly. For tougher stains, Kingsley Bate Teak Cleaner removes the patina and restores the golden-brown color. Don't oil teak or use oil-based sealers, which can lead to mildew. When cleaning the frame, take care not to get the solution on the woven seat and back.

Cleaning Wicker: Rinse with fresh water at low hose pressure. For a deeper clean, wash with mild detergent and warm water using a very soft brush or cloth, then rinse until no soap remains and let air dry. Avoid foaming outdoor furniture cleaners, which leave residue in the weave that attracts dirt. Don't paint the wicker; its color is part of the fiber.

Drying Wet Cushions: Unzip the cushion, drain any loose water, then stand it on edge, zipper side down, in a dry, sunny spot. Drying typically takes 24–48 hours, depending on fabric, fill and weather.

Cleaning Cushions: Keep the fill inside the cushion and never use a washing machine, dryer, iron or steam. Use water no hotter than 100°F and avoid bristle brushes. For fresh spills, blot (don't rub), clean with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly and air dry. For routine cleaning, use 1/4 cup mild soap (such as Woolite®) per gallon of lukewarm water, wipe with a sponge and rinse.

Covers: Custom-fit protective covers are recommended when the furniture isn't in use for long periods. Make sure the furniture is clean and dry before covering it, and remove covers from time to time so the furniture can air out, especially after rain.

Winter Storage: Woven furniture exposed to snow and freezing temperatures should be stored for the winter in a dry garage, shed or basement, upright so water drains. Store cushions for the season indoors, in a cushion box or under a breathable cover. Clean and dry everything before storing. If indoor storage isn't possible, use breathable covers.
