How to properly care for your indoor furniture.
GAR Products® recommends cleaning all wood furniture with furniture polish. We suggest dark oil for mahogany, walnut etc., and lemon oil for light finishes such as natural and honey oak. Never clean any wood product (Chairs, Barstools, or Wood Table Tops) with any water based cleaning solution or water itself. Cleaning any wooden furniture with water or a water based solution will result in the grain and finish raising and peeling. We suggest educating all employees on how to clean the tables and chairs appropriately to ensure the longevity and beauty of the product. Chairs and barstools should not be subjected to extreme temperature, particularly heat or moisture near cooking facilities which will also result in the finish lifting and peeling. People should never stand on chairs/ barstools in place of step stools or ladders. Please note that our bentwood chairs are a handmade product, with a certain amount of flexing when in use. In some cases, this will cause the lag bolts under the seat or attaching screws to loosen slightly.
CAST IRON TABLE BASES:
Wipe clean with a damp cloth, very mild soap and water.
CASTERS:
Castered chairs must be checked regularly to make certain the casters are secure on the legs; any loose caster must be serviced immediately to avoid leg splitting, damage to the chair or injury to the customer. GAR Products® shall not be responsible for this continued maintenance and shall not be liable for any injury or damage from failure of maintenance. Casters on GAR Products® chairs are not to be used for moving or pushing individuals; such use as a wheel chair which is dangerous and absolves GAR Products® of all liability. Casters may only be used on flat, uniform surfaces. Casters are not recommended for non-carpeted floors.
UPHOLSTERY:
The only warranties that apply are those offered by the manufacturers of the upholstery.
• VINYL – Clean all vinyls with a mild soap and water solution or a high grade automotive vinyl cleaner. Spills/spots require prompt attention. Some stains will become permanent if allowed to set. Note: Vinyl fabrics are not resistant to denim dye, graffiti, and ink marks unless they are clearly marked with Writers Block technology.
• FABRIC – Since we have a myriad of fabrics in our line, and these fabrics are made up a variety of materials, we suggest that the customer determine the correct composition of the fabric and clean with a substance recommended for the material according to directions. Cleaning fabric with the wrong substance may result in permanent damage.
• LEATHER – Leather can be cleaned with mild saddle soap.
