Teak

Teak is a very valuable wood that by its very nature has exceptional weather resistant characteristics. Unopiù uses it by leaving it natural, without any treatment; therefore, colour variations between one element and another are to be considered normal. Any cracks that may occur on the surface are not to be considered a defect, and their visibility will vary depending on changes in temperature and humidity. Before using it for the first time, Unopiù recommends leaving the furniture in the open air for 24-48 hours, helping the reactivation of the fibres which, by nature, will expel the excess natural oil produced during storage. It is then advisable to wipe the entire surface with a damp cloth made of natural fibres such as cotton or jute.  It is good practice to repeat this process periodically. When left exposed to the elements, it tends to turn silvery-grey in colour; this phenomenon is testimony to the natural state of the wood that lives and reacts to the external environment with a maturation/oxidation process that in no way alters the structural integrity of the product. The honey shade can be maintained or restored by using the specific maintenance products that Unopiù offers its customers.

Fabric

Acrylic fabrics should be brushed occasionally and can be washed by hand or in the washing machine (max. 30°) without a spin cycle using a mild soap such as Marseille soap. Unopiù recommends drying them naturally in sunlight. When ironing them, insert a damp cloth between the iron and the fabric to protect against excessive heat and to restore the fabric's natural softness. During the winter or long periods of inactivity or persistent rain, Unopiù suggests storing the cushions under cover. All the cleaning and washing instructions can be found on the label inside the cushion.
