Extend the life and enhance the look of your King Living outdoor furniture with simple, effective fabric care. Designed to endure Australia’s outdoor conditions, our outdoor fabrics still benefit from a little routine attention to keep them looking their best.
Refresh and Restore After Spills
Maintaining the beauty of your outdoor fabric starts with timely care. For fresh spills:
-
Lightly spray the area with a mild cleaning solution or KingCare® Fabric Cleaner.
-
Use a soft brush to gently work the solution into the fabric.
-
Allow it to sit for two to three minutes.
-
Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
-
Pat dry with a soft, dye-free cloth and leave to air dry.
Regular Cleaning for Lasting Appeal
To keep your outdoor fabric in peak condition:
-
Brush off surface debris with a soft brush.
-
Rinse lightly using a garden hose.
-
Apply KingCare® Fabric Cleaner or a gentle soap mixed with warm water (max 40°C).
-
Rinse and pat dry using a dye-free cloth, then let the fabric air dry naturally.
Note: Avoid using high-pressure hoses or power washers, as they may damage the fabric.
Treating Oil-Based Stains
For oily or greasy marks:
-
Apply a small amount of corn starch to absorb the oil.
-
After 10 minutes, gently scrape away the powder with a flat edge.
-
Follow with your usual cleaning method as outlined above.
Clean Seam to Seam
To avoid water rings or discolouration:
-
Always clean the entire surface area from one seam to the next, rather than spot cleaning in isolation.
Managing Mould and Mildew
King Living outdoor fabrics are engineered to resist mildew. However, mildew may form on dirt or other residues if not removed. To clean:
-
Mix 1 cup of bleach and 1/4 cup of mild soap in 4 litres of water.
-
Spray the affected area and allow the solution to sit for 15 minutes.
-
Gently scrub with a soft brush or sponge.
-
Rinse thoroughly with clean water and let air dry.
