Over time, you can see a discoloration of the materials exposed to UV rays (textiles, paint, plastics), a
phenomenon also due to the rays of the sun as well as those of the moon. This evolution of colours
exposed to external elements is normal and concerns in particular bright colours.
Tightening
The assembly parts of your product become loose over time. Think of tightening them regularly.
Everyday maintenance
Your product is subject to external elements, it must therefore be regularly cleaned.
Remove stains immediately.
Clean with a damp cloth soaked in warm soapy water (or hot water for more marked dirt) or a
specific, adapted product.
Rinse thoroughly.
Finish with a clean, dry cloth.
If in doubt, consult a reseller or the material sheet on the Hesperide.com website.
In the absence of regular cleaning your product will imperatively deteriorate.
Weather conditions (wind, rain, snow, hail, salty winds)
The outdoor furniture is designed to be used in normal outdoor weather conditions. Strong climatic
hazards or exceptional weather conditions can have repercussions on the look, correct use and
lifespan of the product. It is strongly advised to use tarpaulin with a ventilation system during the
season when the furniture remains outside.
Rain and humidity
If it is left out in water, the furniture will take several days to dry. Nothing abnormal in that, but ensure
that you wipe it to prevent the water from stagnating on it. The presence of prolonged humidity
speeds up the product ageing and favours the appearance of rust indeed mould.
Protection of the screws and bolts and the structure
Steel is a material that exposed to external elements (humidity, salty winds) will naturally oxidise. To
prevent the appearance of rust, our steel furniture is delivered original with an Epoxy treatment.
However this layer gradually disappears under the effect of external elements and must be renewed
regularly. For this, apply an anti-rust aerosol at least once at the beginning and end of the season
(available in hardware shops or DIY shops). Increase the treatment frequency every 3 months for
furniture exposed to salty sea winds.
The screws and bolts must also be the subject of such a treatment.
If the rust appears despite all that, it can easily be treated and removed with the usual products such
as white vinegar or citric acid. A cloth soaked with car polish can also allow you to remove the rust
spots. Finish with an anti-rust spray to protect the furniture, to apply regularly.
Temperature conditions
The fabric of the curtains is not made to withstand conditions of low temperatures, even less winter
temperatures, which are likely to alter its surface condition. It is also sensitive to ambient humidity. It
is therefore advisable to store the curtains in a dry, ventilated and closed room. Before any storage,
clean and dry the curtains well, to prevent the appearance of unpleasant odors or mold.
In the event of prolonged non-use, if the recommendations for storage and arrangement are not
followed, it will result in an accelerated deterioration of their surface condition and their proper
functioning.
