AINTWOOD
Aintwood is a plastic material that resembles wood and requires less maintenance in
comparison with wooden furniture. Aintwood is dyed polystyrene that can withstand
temperatures from -25'C to +50'C. The material is recycled as rigid plastic and forms
carbon dioxide when burnt.
GENERAL CARE
You need to clean furniture made from Aintwood regularly after use. Visible dirt and
spillages should be wiped away immediately. Never place hot objects (e.g. saucepans,
cigarettes, barbecue equipment) directly onto the table, as it may melt and leave ugly
marks. Remember that if you leave objects like drinking glasses/vases in strong
sunlight, they can focus the sun's rays and cause burn marks in the table top.
Aintwood furniture should not be left in glass conservatories that are unventilated,
as extreme temperatures of more than +50°C can be reached. This will soften the
material and disfi gure it. The aluminium frame does not require much maintenance.
It should be cleaned when needed and perhaps painted if it starts to peel.
CLEANING
Aintwood with a matt fi nish absorbs stains more readily. Spills and raindrops are more
noticeable than with a gloss fi nish. Matt Aintwood therefore requires more cleaning
than gloss Aintwood. We recommend using glass placemats and a table cover to reduce
the need for cleaning. For light dirt stains, soapy water and a cloth or sponge will be
suffi cient. For tougher stains, e.g. red wine, coff ee and grease, a more concentrated
detergent solution will be required to remove the stains. Soak with the detergent
solution for around 5–10 min. Then rub the area with a soft sponge in the direction
of the grain. Do not wash in direct sunlight to avoid the surface drying too quickly.
Rinse thoroughly with water. If necessary, repeat the process. If you want to have a
surface that is more resistant to dirt, you can treat Aintwood with a special polish for
Aintwood. It may make the surface shinier, with a slightly darker tone, but it will be
less sensitive to stains and easier to keep clean. Follow the instructions on the package.
