EASY CARE AND MAINTENANCE

At Jensen Outdoor, we believe that luxury furniture should offer the luxury of simple care. Maintaining the beauty and comfort of your ipe wood furniture, woven fibers, and cushion fabrics will feel effortless when you follow our easy care guidelines.

IPE WOOD FURNITURE

Protecting New and Newly Cleaned Ipe Furniture:

• In a ventilated area, apply Wood Shield to all clean Ipe surfaces to further protect against water and food stains, then enjoy your new set outside.

As Needed Cleaning Instructions:

• Wash your Ipe wood surfaces with a soft towel and mild dish soap, then rinse clean with water. Once complete, allow to dry.

Restore The Deep Chocolate-Brown ‘As New’ Finish:

Ipe naturally develops an elegant silver patina over time when exposed to the elements. To restore the ‘as new’ chocolate brown finish of Ipe wood, follow our simple color-restoration process:

1. To prepare Ipe for a UV-protective coat of Penofin^® Verde Oil Finish, use Penofin^® Pro-Tech Wood Cleaner to remove surface dirt, then rinse off with water.
2. To brighten and re-establish the pH balance of Ipe wood to best accept the Penofin^® Verde Oil Finish, use Penofin^® Pro-Tech Wood Brightener, then rinse off with water and allow to dry completely.
3. Apply Penofin^® Verde Oil Finish as directed on the can, letting it penetrate for 30 minutes.
4. To remove excess oil finish that hasn’t been absorbed by the wood, rub the Ipe surface with smooth rags until dry to the touch. IMPORTANT: Dispose of rags in a metal bucket of water to avoid spontaneous combustion.
5. After completely dry, apply Wood Shield to timber to provide additional protection against water and food stains.

SUNBRELLA® FABRIC

Protecting New and Newly Cleaned Sunbrella^® Fabric:

• Fabric Protector makes cushion fabric repellent to water and dirt and inhibits the growth of mold and mildew while assisting in the prevention of stains.
• In a ventilated area, apply Fabric Protector to all dry and clean Sunbrella^® fabric surfaces until soaked, then let dry completely.

Reapply to clean surfaces 1x per year or after cleaning.

As Needed Cleaning Instructions:

• Moisten fabric surfaces with a sponge or wet towel then spray a light mist of Fabric Cleaner over the entire surface of the fabric.
• Use a sponge or a clean towel to gently break up any stains.
• Rinse fabric completely to remove all soapy residue.
• Let fabric air dry completely.

ALTERNATIVELY: You can prepare a cleaning solution of ¼ cup mild soap per gallon of warm water and place the cleaning solution into a spray bottle.

TEAK WOOD FURNITURE

Protecting New and Newly Cleaned Teak Furniture:

• In a ventilated area, apply Wood Shield to all clean teak surfaces to further protect against water and food stains, then enjoy your new set outside.

As Needed Cleaning Instructions:

• We recommend that you allow your teak furniture to weather naturally to an elegant silver tone and simply clean thoroughly once or twice a year with our Wood Cleaner or soap and water.
• Wash your teak wood surfaces with a plastic bristle brush and mild dish soap, then rinse clean with water. Once complete, allow to dry.
• Under no circumstances should a power washer be used to clean teak furniture as this will erode the surface.
• Because teak is a naturally oily wood, it is not possible to paint or varnish. Any paint or varnish applied will not adhere properly to the surface and after a short while will start to peel off.
• Surface scratches or stains may be removed with an occasional light sanding then allowed to age to a natural silver tone over time.

 

WOVEN VIRO® FIBER

Easy As-Needed Viro^® Fiber Cleaning:

• Prepare surface by removing dust with a bristle brush.
• Gently clean with warm water and a non-foaming soap or mild detergent.

Alcohol-based, oil-based, and other harsh cleaners are not recommended.
