Our powder coat finishes are a relatively non-adherent surface to airborne dust and soils. They are easily cleaned with a fine cleaning brush or a soft cloth. But when lubricants and fluids are involved, a gentle liquid-based cleaning process will be needed to properly and safely clean your furniture's surface. Think of the finish as a car's finish, durable, but still requiring a gentle touch to maintain its luster over time.There are a variety of methods for the removal of these surface deposits. However, these are our favorites to help maintain a long-life for your powder coated furniture:● Use a combination of a gentle dish detergent with warm water (we prefer Dawn) and a soft towel to remove any oil or silicone-based lubricants, or bodily fluids. Rinse with a gentle water-dampened cloth and finish with a soft dry towel to fully dry the surface.● Use a pre-bottled gentle cleaner like Dawn PowerWash Spray,  Simple Green All Purpose Cleanser or Simple Green All-Purpose Foaming Cleaner, using a soft dry towel to make sure the surface is fully dry.● Automotive wax can be used in addition to these cleansers, but apply and polish per the manufacturer's instructions to attain the proper results for your finish.What to Avoid:● Avoid wire brushes, steel wool, sandpaper, abrasives or similar cleaning tools which will damage your coated surface.● Avoid chemical or abrasive cleaning agents. We do not recommend these types of cleansers, but if you do prefer using these types of cleaning agents, they should be tested in an inconspicuous area before use on a larger scale. Always test a small area first and remember to properly ventilate the area. Use at your own risk.
