MAINTENANCE

IROKO / H.O.T.WOOD
Iroko wood and
requires
little or no maintenance. However,
we strongly advise you to remove
persistent dirt. To clean the wood
you can use special products (www.
rmc-extremis.be) or simply a stiff
bristle brush and some water. Be
careful not to irreparably damage
the wood fibres. For this reason,
never use a high pressure cleaner as
this will roughen the wood's smooth
surface and irreparably damage the
wood's fibres.
At first, the wood will give off this
red
dye every time it comes into contact
with water. The dye that drips onto
the frame and the surface will
remain
water-soluble and will dissapear
entirely after a while.
We strongly recommend that you
treat your wood for indoor use
with wood oil to protect it from
stains.

Exposure to sun and rain will
gradually change their colour to
silvery grey, and also roughen the
surface. If you want to somewhat
retain their original colour, you
should oil them once a year. We
recommend using RMC Hybrid
Wood Protector

IMPORTANT!

H.O.T.wood Wood is a living matter and, in spite
of the superior quality provided by
Iroko and H.O.T.wood, outdoors it
constantly has to adapt to extreme
changes
humidity. Due to internal stress
resulting
adaptations the wood "warps". This
warping can among other things
lead to cracking. Changes in colour
or wood structure may also appear.
These characteristics are typical of
the material and by choosing this
material you accept them.
Should any cracks appear, you can
simply sand them down either
by hand
by means of a hand sander. To
protect any galvanised or painted
parts, cover the edges with highly
robust masking tape. Use 80-grit
sandpaper and start at the vertical
side of the tabletop. Keep the hand
sander parallel to the edge of the
tabletop. Lightly sand the edge until
it is smooth again. Now sand the
rest of the tabletop. Make sure that
you always hold the hand sander
parallel to the tabletop. Do not
only sand the crack, but the entire
untreated. tabletop to obtain a uniform result.
To avoid burrs, sand the top edge
of the tabletop by hand. When you
have removed all the burrs, you
can treat the wood with hardwood
furniture oil or leave it untreated,
depending on the desired effect.

GALVANISED STEEL

Galvanisation, or applying a hot-
dipped zinc coating, is the most
durable way of protecting metal
from rusting. If the zinc layer is
damaged, however, the exposed
metal may begin to rust. This can be
dealt with simply using zinc paint,
which will automatically have the
same colour as the frame and can be
bought from shops.
Galvanisation is a form of heat
treatment that may slightly distort
the material. Other metal protection
methods do not have this drawback,
but the quality they provide is
unsatisfactory.
CLEANING THE
TARPAULIN MATERIAL
Your Walrus sofa does not need
much care. This is because all the
materials used have a dirt-repellent
coating. This coating ensures that
dirt cannot get into the material as
easily, but it cannot prevent dust,
dirt or stains ending up on the
seat. Just like all outdoor furniture,
this sofa does require a minimal
amount of care. It is very important
here that you follow Extremis' care
instructions
carefully. Other methods
cleaning
products may cause irreparable
damage to the fabrics and dirt-
repellent coating. With the motto
"prevention is better than cure" in
mind, a few preventative measures
will keep your sofa in iptop
condition for a very long time.
As with any other material, a patina
will form on the materials used for
the Walrus sofa after a while. This
patina does not affect the quality of
the material.
