1. Aluminum Frames

Apple Bee’s aluminum frames are strong, lightweight, and weather-resistant. With a little maintenance, they will stay looking as good as new.

Maintenance Tips for Aluminum

• Clean regularly: Use a soft cloth or sponge with lukewarm water and a mild detergent to remove dirt and dust.
• Avoid abrasives: These can damage the powder-coated layer.
• Protect during intensive use: For extra shine and protection, you can use an aluminum polish or protector.

2. Teak Wood

Teak wood is a durable and weather-resistant material that requires little maintenance. Depending on your preference, you can treat the wood or let it weather to a silver-grey for a natural look.

How to Maintain Teak Wood?

• Annual treatment: Use teak oil or a sealer to preserve the original, warm color.
• For a weathered look: Let the wood age naturally. This requires less maintenance and results in a beautiful, silver-grey shade.
• Clean when dirty: Clean the wood with a soft brush, lukewarm water, and a specialized teak cleaner.

Extra Tip

Over time, teak wood can feel rough due to exposure to weather conditions. Use fine-grit sandpaper to smooth out the wood and carefully remove any dust.

3. BEE WETT® Cushions

Apple Bee’s innovative BEE WETT® cushions are designed to withstand rain and dirt. They are quick-drying and easy to clean.

Maintenance Tips for Cushions

• Rinse off dirt: Use a garden hose or water to remove dust and dirt.
• Treat stains: Use a mild detergent and a soft brush or cloth to gently work out stains.
• Washable covers: Many BEE WETT® cushions have removable covers that can be machine washed. Wash on a gentle cycle and let the covers air dry.

4. Winter Protection

Although Apple Bee furniture is designed for all weather conditions, it is wise to take extra precautions during the winter months.

How Do You Protect Your Furniture?

• Use breathable protective covers: These prevent moisture buildup and protect against rain, snow, and dirt. Ensure the cover is not completely airtight to prevent mold growth.
• Storing cushions: Although BEE WETT® cushions are weather-resistant, it is wise to store them in a dry, ventilated place during the winter.
