Care of your outdoor polyester

How can I best maintain my outdoor polyester?

Polyester is a strong, lightweight, and weather-resistant material widely used for outdoor hospitality furniture. It withstands sun, rain, and temperature fluctuations, making it ideal for terraces and outdoor spaces. Polyester is known for its colourfastness, durability, and ease of maintenance. With proper care, polyester retains its appearance, strength, and comfort for many years, even under intensive use in the hospitality industry.

Before use: proper preparation

What can I use to treat my outdoor polyester?

Before using your outdoor polyester furniture, it is advisable to treat it first.

Step-by-step plan for initial treatment

  1. Cleaning
    Before using your polyester furniture, it is recommended to clean the surface with a soft cloth and lukewarm water to remove dust, dirt, or any production residues.
  2. Treatment
    You can treat the material with a water- and stain-repellent textile spray to extend its lifespan and make future cleaning easier. Also, check that all screws, joints, and frames are securely fastened before putting the furniture into use.

To keep outdoor polyester in top condition, regular maintenance is essential.

Step-by-step maintenance plan in use

  1. Weekly dusting: Remove dust and dirt weekly using a soft brush or cloth. For surfaces that come into contact with food or drinks, you can use a mild soapy solution, then rinse thoroughly and allow to dry. Avoid harsh cleaning agents or abrasive brushes, as these can damage the fibers or cause the color to fade.

  2. Avoid sharp objects: Place polyester furniture on a stable surface and protect it from sharp objects that could pierce or tear the material.

  3. Stain removal: Prompt action is essential for spills or stains. Blot the stain immediately with a clean cloth to prevent it from soaking in. For stubborn dirt, use lukewarm water with a small amount of mild soap or a specialized outdoor fabric cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or solvents, as these can damage the fibers. Rinse the surface thoroughly with clean water and allow it to dry completely before using again.

Large maintenance and deep cleaning - After intensive use

How can I make my outdoor polyester look like new again?

After a busy terrace season or prolonged use, a deep cleaning is recommended.

Step-by-step plan for large maintenance

  1. Clean the entire surface with lukewarm water and a mild detergent or an outdoor fabric cleaner.
  2. Brush dirt from the fibres using a soft brush.
  3. Allow the fabric to dry completely in the shade, out of direct sunlight, to prevent fading.
  4. After cleaning, apply a protective spray to restore the water- and stain-repellent layer and maintain the colour.
  5. Check the frames, joints, and screws, and tighten or adjust them where necessary to ensure stability.

To keep your polyester outdoor hospitality furniture looking great and fully functional for as long as possible, regular maintenance and protection against extreme weather are essential. Ideally, store the furniture in a dry place or use breathable covers during rainy periods or in winter. Clean regularly, treat stains immediately, and apply a protective spray when necessary. This way, polyester remains attractive, comfortable, and resilient to the demanding conditions of a hospitality terrace.
