Maintenance depends on what your throne is made of. Vinyl seats are easy to wipe down, but leather may need some more care from time to time. Both of these shouldn’t be left in the sun as it may damage them in the long run. A felt seat may require some vacuuming and often attracts more odors, so care for them the same as carpets or a cloth lounge set. Your hardware needs a good wipe down too, and perhaps once a year you can take everything apart for deep cleaning. Take pictures of what it looks like while assembled if you think you won’t know how to put everything back together again. Wax and polishing is one way to get the silverware shining. If your hardware is rusted, use oil and a hard brush to remove it.
