Although all of Tropitone's vinyls used in our outdoor furniture contain mildew inhibitors and UV Protectants, regular cleaning of your vinyl is required if you desire the beauty of your new Tropitone vinyl patio furniture piece to last its anticipated lifetime. Please take a moment to review our recommend cleaning instructions for Tropitone vinyl product.

STRAPS, LACING & EZ-SPAN SEGMENTS

Cleaning and Protecting

Just like the frames of our outdoor furniture, vinyl strapping should be cleaned frequently with mild soap and water. In geographical areas with high concentrations of acid rain, fog and/or smog, vinyl should be cleaned monthly with a water and ammonia mixture. (Use three parts water to one part ammonia.) If you own furniture with woven straps or lacing, be sure to lift and clean beneath the strap or lace intersections. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The use of commercial casual furniture cleaners will help lift embedded dirt and oil from your patio furniture. Such cleaners are available at leading casual furniture dealers. We also recommend periodic waxing of the straps of our outdoor furniture with an automotive paste wax.

 Caution: Certain suntan and sun block products contain "Paba". Paba is harmful to vinyl and can permanently discolor it; therefore, contact with vinyl straps or lacing should be avoided. If contact is made, cleaning the vinyl immediately with a non-abrasive, mild soap and water solution followed by a fresh water rinse may minimize the possibility of discoloration. Laying a beach towel over the vinyl straps of outdoor furniture whenever you are using the furniture will prolong the vinyl's life.
