How to clean and when to re-stain outdoor furniture

All our wooden outdoor furniture is pre-treated, but acacia, eucalyptus and other solid woods require a little care from time to time to prevent cracking and extend their lifetime. Clean wooden furniture with a mild soapy solution and cover it when not in use. We recommend re-staining with  forming beads on the surface.
