Care & Maintenance
Each piece of Serwall outdoor furniture is built to provide exceptional performance with minimal mantenance. With regular care and maintenance, yours will give you years of superior performance and satisfaction.
How to Clean & Sanitize
Serwall Furniture?
Use this method for a quick clean-up here and there throughout the season — adding in the bleach solution to easily sanitize and eliminate any stubborn stains or dirt build-up from the winter months.
- Mix mild dish soap and warm water in a bucket.
- Use a clean cloth to wipe the soapy mixture onto the surfaces of your furniture, cleaning off any dirt.
- For extra cleaning power or to sanitize, mix 1/3 bleach and 2/3 water.
- Apply bleach mixture to furniture with a clean cloth and allow it to sit on the lumber for a few minutes (this will not affect the color).
- Loosen any dirt and debris that may catch in the surface grooves of the lumber by scrubbing the bleach mixture with a soft-bristle brush.
- Rinse thoroughly using a garden hose with a spray nozzle.
- Added Cleaning Power
If you haven’t cleaned your furniture in a year it’s time to go big. Plus, using a high-pressure power washer is pretty satisfying.
- First, use a high-pressure power washer (not to exceed 1,500 psi) for an initial deep clean. This will really help get into the texture of the lumber
- Then, follow the steps at the left for any persistent spots, rinsing thoroughly when complete.
"I love these chairs because they are almost entirely maintenance-free, only need to be wiped off once in a while. There's no sanding or re-painting required at all."

How to Care Stainless
Steel Hardware?
All Serwall hardware is 18-8 stainless steel with a chromium oxide coating. But although the quality of our hardware has a high level of corrosive resistance, it can still show some signs of corrosion in salt air environments. Below are a few tips to help keep your hardware looking great:
- Mix mild dish soap and warm water in a bucket.
- Apply soap mixture to hardware with a soft bristle brush, scrubbing the corroding areas of the hardware.
- Rinse thoroughly using a garden hose with a spray nozzle.
- Optional Tips
You can apply a corrosion-resistant coating to the stainless steel to get extra protection from salt air.
(Clear coatings and paints specially designed for stainless steel are available online or at certain hardware stores.)
