Cleaning and care will increase the lifetime for your bandbox products. Here’s a quick breakdown of cleaning and care routines:

Powder Coat Cleaning

Clean painted/powder coat products with a slightly damp cloth using a mild solution of soap and water. Bleach cleanable with 10:1 ratio of water to bleach.

Chrome Finish

Chrome finishes may be cleaned with a high quality chrome cleaner to ensure the brightest finish. Bleach cleanable with 10:1 ratio of water to bleach.

Aluminum and Stainless Steel

Clean with a damp soft cloth using a mild soap solution or glass cleaner. No abrasive cleaners should be used. Bleach cleanable with 10:1 ratio of water to bleach.

Polypropylene

Polypropylene finishes are found on many bandbox seating solutions and can be easily cleaned with a diluted 10:1 water to bleach solution.

Outdoor Furniture

Cleaning and maintenance of outdoor furniture is key to its durability. Use this method for a quick clean up here and there throughout the season. Use a mild bleach solution for stubborn stains.
  1. Mix mild dish soap with warm water.
  2. Use a clean cloth to wipe soapy mixture onto surfaces, cleaning off excess dirt.
  3. To sanitize, mix 1/3 bleach and 2/3 water and then apply bleach cleaning solution with clean cloth.
  4. Rinse thoroughly.

The upholstery should not be exposed for long periods of sunlight as this may cause fading and deterioration of cover material. Protect from exposure to sources of heat such as radiators or open flames.

It is recommended to give the upholstery a frequent vacuuming or light brushing. It is very important to rub very gently to avoid colour change. This proper cleaning will prevent buildup of dust, soil and oils which can be damaging to cover material.

In the event of a spillage, it is imperative to act quickly. Carefully soak up any excess liquid, ideally using the edge of a white paper towel, then dab gently with a fresh towel taking care to avoid soaking in or spreading of the remaining liquid.

Do not machine wash, contact a professional in case of stain removal.
