CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Rusta's Furuvik Garden furniture is made from cultivated Acacia wood. Wood is a living
material that absorbs and loses moisture, which means that it needs regular maintenance.
The need for care and maintenance varies significantly depending on how exposed the
surfaces are to sun, water and mechanical wear. Here are some simple tips to make sure
you can use your furniture for many seasons to come:

GENERAL CARE

• A good rule of thumb is to inspect the surfaces at least 2–3 times a year and carry out
any maintenance as soon as you think it is necessary.
• Never place hot objects (e.g. saucepans, cigarettes, barbecue equipment) directly
onto the furniture. Regularly wipe spillages, dirt, pollen and any rainwater from the
furniture. Use a mild detergent, for example, soapy water.
• Wipe away coffee, red wine and fat stains immediately to make sure they do not
discolour the surface.
• If, for example, algae starts to grow on your furniture, you need to wash it off using
"Reflekt Sugar Soap – Outdoors" (or a similar product from another brand). Pollutants
can penetrate deeply into the wood, so the quicker the stains are washed away, the
more chance you have of getting a good result.
• The screws need to be tightened in the nuts twice a season to keep the furniture
stable. Always check them at the beginning of the season.
STORAGE
To make sure you can use your wooden furniture for many seasons to come, you should
protect the furniture from moisture and damp by using a furniture cover or putting the
furniture under a roof when you are not using it. Furniture covers are sold separately and
can be bought in all Rusta shops during the season. In the winter store your furniture
indoors, in a place that is cool and not too dry, for example a garage or store room. If you
are using a furniture cover, make sure that air can escape from the lower corner of the
cover for good ventilation. If you store the furniture somewhere that is too dry and hot in
the winter, it may dry out and crack. Always clean your furniture before storing it for the
winter.
