Your Solvana™ sectional is designed for outdoor relaxation, and like any upholstered furniture, it will stay looking good and last longer with some regular care. A simple rule to keep in mind is: keep it clean, let it dry, and protect it when the weather looks rough.
For everyday use
- Regularly brush or vacuum leaves, dust, pollen, sand, and debris.
- Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth.
- Avoid rubbing spills into the cover.
- Let wet items dry completely before covering or storing.
- Lift (don't drag) pieces when moving to protect seams and drainage mesh.
Routine cleaning for all Solvana pieces
1. Remove loose debris with a vacuum, soft brush, or dry cloth.
2. Mix a mild soap solution using 1 tablespoon of mild dish soap and 2 cups of warm water.
3. Clean the surface gently with a soft cloth, sponge, or soft-bristle brush.
4. Rinse away residue with clean water. 5. Let the piece air-dry completely before using, covering, or storage.
Performance Linen cover care
- For everyday messes, use the routine cleaning method above.
- For dried spots, loosen debris gently with a soft brush before cleaning.
- For stubborn stains, use an outdoor upholstery cleaner that is approved for the fabric and test first on a hidden area.
- Performance Linen covers may be removed and washed in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air-dried only.
For mold or mildew, use a diluted bleach-and-soap solution, rinse thoroughly, and air-dry completely.
While all stains may not be completely removed, these guidelines are suggested for best results.
- Method A: Use a water-based soap solution (1 tbsp laundry detergent per 2 cups warm water). Dampen a cloth and gently blot the spill—do not rub. Rotate the cloth and rinse to remove soap residue.
- Method B: Use a mild solvent-based upholstery cleaner, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Method C: Mix 1/2 cup bleach and 2 tbsp mild soap in 1 gallon warm water. Dampen a cloth with the solution, blot the stain, rinse thoroughly, and blot or air dry.
Additional precautions for cleaning:
- Do not use harsh solvents.
- Avoid hard-bristle brushes.
- Avoid excessive heat or machine tumble drying.
- Avoid pressure washing.
- Test cleaners in an inconspicuous area first.
Silicone Leather cover care
- Spot clean only.
- Wipe with a soft cloth or sponge using mild soap and water.
- Rinse lightly with clean water if needed, then wipe dry immediately with a clean cloth.
- Do not machine wash.
- Do not use bleach, solvent cleaners, abrasive pads, magic-eraser style abrasives, leather conditioners, or strong household chemicals.
Inner water-resistant liner care
- If the outer cover is removed and the inner liner is exposed, wipe the liner clean with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed.
- Allow the liner to dry fully before reinstalling the outer cover.
- Do not store the product while the liner is damp.
- Do not remove the liner from the structure for care and maintenance.
After rain or heavy moisture
- Wipe or shake off excess surface water.
- Let the piece air dry fully before covering or storing.
- If moisture has worked past the outer cover, increase airflow by separating modules slightly and, if needed, removing or partially opening the outer cover to help the liner and foam dry completely.
- Never trap moisture under a cover or in storage.
Storage and weather protection
- The Solvana™ sectional is designed for everyday outdoor use in normal sun and rain.
- For best lifespan, use a breathable fitted furniture cover during long stretches of non-use or repeated wet weather.
- Clean and dry the product before covering.
- During winter, snow, ice, freezing conditions, or extended non-use, store your Solvana™ sectional in a dry, covered space such as a storage shed or garage.
- Ensure your Solvana™ sectional is completely dry for a minimum of 48 hours before storage. Dry times may vary due to the environment.
- Do not leave the Solvana™ sectional outside in snow, ice, or standing water.
- Recommended storage conditions: −20°F to 120°F (−29°C to 49°C) temperature, dry conditions, away from direct sunlight and any chemical solvents.
- Use of a protective furniture cover is recommended to help extend the life of the fabric and maintain its original appearance.
What to avoid
- Do not cover the Solvana™ chair while it is still wet.
