— Care Guide

Caring for furniture made to last a lifetime.

Every Conforto piece is crafted from materials chosen for their beauty, resilience and ability to age gracefully. With simple, regular care, your outdoor furniture will remain a source of pleasure for years to come.

How to care for teak furniture

Teak is naturally rich in oils that make it exceptionally resistant to water, insects and rot. Left outdoors, it will gradually weather from warm honey-brown to a soft silver-grey patina — a characteristic that many owners prize.

To maintain the original golden tone, we recommend applying a high-quality teak protector or sealant once or twice a year. Always clean the surface first and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

For routine cleaning, wash with a soft cloth or sponge and a solution of mild soap and lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Avoid pressure washers, harsh abrasives or bleach-based cleaners, which can damage the wood's natural grain.

Small scratches and marks can often be gently sanded along the grain with fine sandpaper, then rinsed clean. Over time, teak will settle into a low-maintenance, enduring finish that requires little more than occasional cleaning.

How to clean aluminium frames

Our aluminium frames are chosen for their strength, lightness and corrosion resistance. They are finished with a durable powder coating that holds up beautifully in outdoor conditions.

Clean frames regularly with a soft cloth and a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry with a clean towel to prevent water spots, particularly in hard-water areas.

Avoid steel wool, scouring pads or solvent-based cleaners, as these can scratch or degrade the protective coating. If minor marks appear, a gentle automotive polish can help restore the surface.

Inspect fixings and joints periodically to ensure they remain secure. Aluminium requires very little maintenance, but occasional attention will keep it looking refined for years.

Cushion care

Our cushions are made with high-quality, weather-resistant fabrics designed to withstand sunlight and occasional showers. While they are durable, regular care will extend their life and appearance.

Brush off loose dirt and debris, then spot-clean stains with a soft cloth, mild soap and lukewarm water. Allow cushions to air dry completely before storing or placing them back on the furniture.

Removable cushion covers can usually be hand washed or gently machine washed on a delicate cycle. Always check the care label attached to each cushion for specific instructions.

We recommend storing cushions indoors or in a weatherproof box during prolonged rain or when not in use for extended periods. This helps preserve their colour, shape and softness.

Winter storage recommendations

Before storing your furniture for winter, clean all surfaces thoroughly and ensure cushions are completely dry to prevent mildew.

If possible, store cushions indoors in a cool, dry place. Teak and aluminium frames can remain outdoors year-round, but breathable furniture covers offer extra protection from harsh weather and debris.

Avoid placing covers directly onto damp cushions or wood. Ensure air can circulate beneath the cover to prevent trapped moisture.

If you have limited storage space, store cushions upright and loosely covered. Furniture left outside should be positioned on a level surface and, ideally, under a covered area.

General maintenance tips

Regular dusting and light cleaning will keep your furniture looking its best. Addressing spills and bird droppings promptly prevents staining.

Use coasters, placemats and trays under glasses and hot dishes to protect surfaces from heat marks, moisture rings and scratches.

Tighten screws and check structural connections every season. Movement between joints is normal, but keeping fixings secure preserves stability and comfort.

With thoughtful care, your Conforto furniture will age gracefully, developing a quiet character that reflects the life lived around it.
