Maintaining your powder-coated steel furniture

The good news is that maintaining powder-coated steel is as simple as it gets! Except in special cases, you'll hardly need to worry about it.

Routine maintenance :
- Clean your powder-coated steel furniture at least once a year.
- Use soapy water and a soft cloth.
- Do not use abrasive scrapers or sponges. These materials can damage the surface and protective coating, allowing rust to set in.

Scratch repair :
- Repair deep scratches as soon as they appear to prevent them from getting worse.
- For all your paint touch-ups, we can supply on request the necessary equipment A touch-up kit including a spray paint can in the color of your furniture. Before applying the touch-up paint, be sure to clean the surface. Always keep a distance of about 20-30 cm from the surface to be treated when applying the spray paint.
- If the scratch is deep and has damaged the protective layer (you'll see the material bare), sand lightly, especially if rust has appeared. Treat with zinc spray before touching up with paint.

Caring for stainless steel furniture

Stainless steel requires a minimum of maintenance to maintain its reflective qualities. But don't panic, nothing too complicated! Just follow these simple steps to ensure that your furniture will look like new for years to come.

Routine maintenance :
- In contact with chlorine, iron particles, aggressive products, in certain environments or in the event of impact, steel may stain, discolor or even show slight areas of oxidation. This is why stainless steel requires a minimum of maintenance.
- We recommend cleaning your stainless steel furniture every 6 to 12 months in a normal environment, and every 3 to 6 months if your furniture is located in an aggressive environment (pollution, sea spray, road sandblasting, etc.).
- Use demineralized soapy water, a mild detergent or a special stainless steel cleaner. You can also use detergents to remove graffiti. Remember to rinse thoroughly with clear water after each wash.
- Never use bleach, hydrochloric acid, steel wool abrasive powder or steel brushes. Never leave steel objects on your stainless steel furniture, to avoid the risk of rust.

Caring for Corten steel furniture

With Corten steel, there's no need for routine maintenance, as it creates its own protective layer as a result of external aggression. As for exceptional wear and tear, there are a few steps you can take to keep your furniture in perfect condition for a long time to come.
