Care and Maintenance of your Commercial Strap Furniture

Care and Maintenance of your Commercial Strap Furniture.

Vinyl has a finish on it New vinyl and paint both have a finish on them, comparable to the clear coat on a new car. Pool chlorine, bleach, solvents, and many commercial cleaning solutions will damage the finish. This damage accelerates staining, fading and ultimate failure of the vinyl and paint. Cleaning with such chemicals will cut the life expectancy of vinyl and paint by about one half. The average life of vinyl in commercial use is about two years, and paint lasts four to five years. Proper cleaning and maintenance may more than double those numbers.

Vinyl is a porous material Vinyl is a porous material similar to leather. The pores must breathe and should not be clogged with suntan and body oils. Damage to the finish due to improper cleaning, along with commercial use and exposure, results in mildew and other fungi becoming firmly rooted in the pores. The vinyl soon becomes badly stained and virtually impossible to clean. At this point, the damage is done and it is time for new vinyl. I do not recommend the use of vinyl "protectants" because I believe they combine with other chemicals in the commercial environment, get baked in by the sun and clog the pores like oils. The furniture will look great for a while and then the straps will suddenly start to break. Suntan oil badly stains vinyl due to iodine and other caustic chemicals it contains. Without proper removal, these chemicals will become baked on by the sun and will eat away the finish of the vinyl. Ultimately, the stains will degrade the vinyl, causing it to crack and break. The combination of sunshine, pool chlorine and suntan oil is fatal to vinyl.

Other sources of stains avoid using unfiltered well or ground water when cleaning the furniture, and pay attention to where the wind blows the ground water from sprinkler systems. Unfiltered water often causes staining of outdoor furniture due to sulfur, iron oxide and other minerals common in ground water. Only fresh city water or filtered well water should be used.
Other sources of stains are the pods and bark of many tropical trees and shrubs. Small pods from flowers fall to the deck and leave brown stains. The primary staining agent is tannic acid, which is used in the tanning of leather, dyeing of cloth, in the production of paper and silk and as a coagulant in the manufacturing of rubber. Tannic acid is found in many trees & shrubs, such as: Kola trees, Eucalyptus Horehound and other plants in the mint family Hickory and other nut husks Galls (swelling of plant tissue due to parasites) of tamarisk trees and shrubs Bark, galls and foliage of most species of oak trees Golden-yellow color pigment in autumn leaves Bark of Eastern hemlock, cinnamon, witch hazel, cinchona and cascara sgrada Red mangroves Bark & foliage of sumac and other trees and shrubs in the cashew family
If you see yellow or brown stains on decks, pump houses and outside walls, stains may also occur on nearby outdoor furniture if care is not taken.

Using towels Many condominiums have signs that clearly require all people using the pool furniture to lay on towels. These signs are an excellent idea and should be expressed in the strongest terms: "Do not lay on the furniture without a towels." If firmly enforced, this practice may double the life of new vinyl.
Pressure cleaning Perhaps the most efficient method of cleaning commercial patio furniture is with a pressure-washer using plain water under low pressure. Mild disinfectant or detergent may be used, but do not use chlorine or harsh cleaning solutions. A mild disinfectant called "quaternary ammonium chloride" is used in pressure-wash solutions and is effective in cleaning and disinfecting patio furniture without harm, if properly used in moderate amounts.
Clean with mild soap and warm water.

Absent a suitable pressure washer, outdoor furniture should be cleaned with a soft brush, using mild soap and very warm water. Dawn is the best soap because it has emulsifiers that break down the stains common to outdoor furniture and is relatively scum free. After a few years, when the finish is worn and plain soap and water will not clean the vinyl any more, begin to add small amounts of household bleach. Start with a capful or two of bleach per gallon of filtered water, working up to half and half during the following year or so. When a half and half solution no longer cleans the vinyl, it's time for new vinyl.

The top surfaces of outdoor furniture, especially chaises, are most critical, and should be cleaned weekly or biweekly. Simply wipe down the top surfaces and rinse with filtered water. Once every four to six weeks, wipe down the bottom and back surfaces to control mildew.

Wax the frames Just as your car benefits from annual applications of wax, so will the frames of outdoor furniture. Lightly wax the arms, legs and other non-strapped areas of the frame with high grade, non-abrasive car wax. Do not use compound wax and be sure to wipe off any wax that gets on the vinyl straps. Commercial cleaning solutions and chlorine It is a common misconception that pool chlorine, household bleach, chlorine based cleaners, and other strong solutions and solvents are good for cleaning stained vinyl. These chemicals are fatal to the vinyl's finish. They will clean well for a time, but they clean by removing layers of the finish along with the staining material on top of the finish. After a while, it becomes impossible to clean the vinyl. It becomes stiff and hard, loses its memory, and begins to crack and break. This is an inescapable process that is accelerated two to three times or more by the use of harsh chemicals. Pool chlorine is about 4 times stronger and much more caustic than household bleach. Outdoor furniture should never be cleaned with pool chlorine for any reason.

FAQ on Commercial Resin Outdoor Furniture

FAQ on Commercial Resin Outdoor Furniture

February 22, 2010 by Deron

Is National Outdoor Furniture, Inc. resin furniture safe to use in a commercial environment?
Yes, our commercial resin furniture is ASTM tested to 400 pounds for indoor/outdoor seating areas. Certificates of compliance for ASTM F 1561-96 class B (chairs) and ASTM F 1988-99 class B (chaises) standards are available. These standards set a certain quality level for US manufactured plastic chairs and ensure safety.


Why should resin furniture not be bought at retail for commercial use?
The products sold at retail are for residential use only. Resin retail furniture is not recommended for commercial use. Resin furniture sold at retail is labeled “for residential use only” and carries a one year consumer product warranty.

What makes National Outdoor Furniture, Inc. commercial resin furniture different than the resin furniture sold at retail?
Commercial furniture comes in different styles and colors specifically designed for food service and hospitality use. It is available only from authorized food service equipment and/or hospitality dealers. It generally carries a three-year manufacturer’s commercial warranty (depending on the furniture category) compared to a one-year warranty for products sold at retail.

What makes National Outdoor Furniture, Inc. resin different from other plastic furniture?
Some manufacturers use one “recipe” to manufacture all their resin products. Our manufacturer however, uses special blend of raw materials for each product, depending on the product’s flexibility, durability and safety requirements. Also we do not use recycled plastic material to manufacture their furniture.

Is this furniture made in the USA?
Yes.

What is resin?
Resin is a blend of several ingredients including polypropylene, calcium, pigments and chemical additives. Polypropylene, a by-product of the oil refining process, gives the product its resistance to most common food stains, moisture, salt air and chlorine. It will not trap nor harbor germs, fungi or bacteria. Calcium carbonate or talc give the product its rigidity. Pigments give the product its color. Chemical additives provide resistance to static build-up, fading, heat and ultra-violet light. We may also include polyproplene copolymer in the formulation of furniture where resilience and resistance to repeated use is needed.

Is this furniture made of recycled plastic material?
Our resin furniture is made of 100% first quality prime materials.
Other manufacturers may use recycled plastic materials and/or excesive amounts of calcium carbonate to reduce their costs and/or make the product feel heavier. This practice always results in an inferior products with no guarantee of consistency or performance for any type of use. It also makes the product unsafe, more brittle, and more prone to breakage.

Will the furniture fade in the sun?
We use the most advanced ultra-violet light stabilizers to resist discoloration by the sunlight, twice as long as retail-grade plastic furniture.

Is this furniture packaged for LTL and drop shipments?
Yes. Our manufacturer packages its tables and chairs specifically to minimize the risk of freight damages. Low stacks of resin chairs on wide pallets increase the stability of the stack and facilitate handling with fork trucks. Most retail plastic chairs are packaged on small skids, the size of the chair footprint, only suitable for transportation in full trucks of that one product.
Our manufacturer is the only resin furniture manufacturer who also packages all chairs in 4 per carton. This packaging greatly facilitates handling and storage.

Are your molded melamine tabletops suitable for food service use?
Yes. Melamine is the chemical polymer used to make ashtrays and dinnerware. It resists scratches, cigarette burns, food stains, hot plates, repeated cleaning and fading from the sun.

Are molded melanine tabletops suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. Ice, rain, snow, or sunlight will not damage the tabletops. Of course, storing your furniture in a protected area during the off-season will keep your furniture looking new that much longer.

Are melamine tabletops made of particle board?
No, Melamine tabletops are not high-pressure laminates of particle board glued with Formica. They are molded from a material made of melamine impregnated wood chips and melamine impregnated surface paper, fusion-bonded to resist delaminating and water penetration.

What makes National Outdoor Furniture, Inc. different from other resin furniture distributers?
National Outdoor Furniture, Inc. is commited to selling brand name, safe and innovative resin furniture specifically made for the food service and hospitality customer. Our manufacturer is the only resin furniture manufacturer in North America to have dedicated an entire division to this market, with sales professionals, factory warehouses and specific products over 17 years.

Is this furniture available to ship immediately?
Yes, our resin line carries stock in full masterpacks at two warehouses in PA. Our quick-ship program allows an average delivery time of seven to ten business days from receipt of the order, plus transit time.

How can I clean commercial resin furniture?
Resin furniture is easy to maintain by following these simple cleaning tips. Use a mild detergent such as dish soap, mixed with water and applied with a soft cloth for most common dirt and stains. Murphy’s Oil Soap® is highly recommended because it is chemically neutral. NEVER use any cleaner with an abrasive scouring pad. It will scratch the finish which will make the product more prone to staining. A patch test should be conducted prior to cleaning stubborn stains or scuff marks on an inconspicuous area of the furniture. Other cleaning procedures include products such as general, non-abrasive, household cleaners such as Windex®, Fantastik®, or 409® is often helpful in removing various stains. Star brite®, WD-40®, Goo Gone® will often remove stubborn stains. A 10% solution of vinegar or bleach is also recommended. Careful application of mineral spirits or rubbing alcohol followed by immediate rinsing is also recommended. While solvents are not generally recommended, careful application on sticky, sap-like, or carbon-based stains immediately rinsed off with clean water will work as a last resort.

Finding the Right Outdoor Furniture Supplier

Finding the Right Outdoor Furniture Supplier
February 22, 2010 by A Managed Blogger
Do you have a business that needs commercial grade outdoor furniture that will hold up and enable you to create the outdoor space that you and your clients will love? Buying just any furnishings for a business won’t do, you need to buy products that will last and last. Perhaps you have a decorator on the job and they want some input as to what you would like. Don’t simply settle for the first thing you find, spend some time thinking about the style and type of items you would like to see in your exterior area. You can create some really beautiful spaces for relatively little money if you have a vision and you are willing to upgrade to commercial grade products.

Many people go to their local superstore and simply buy the first things they see. The danger in this is that you may pay good money for the items, but because they are not meant to be used over and over again, they will probably wear out very quickly and you will need to invest in more outdoor furniture. Instead of throwing your money away on less than suitable products, why not get it right the first time and buy the things that you want and will last?

Many people allow for their decorator to call all the shots when they are creating a new area for their staff or their clients to enjoy. While a decorator can give you some great tips as to how you can make the most of your space, you shouldn’t let them decide what you get. Take their advice and information to heart, and then pick the types of things that you want. If you have a vision, you are one step ahead of many people who are creating a space outside. Now you simply need to find the right outdoor furniture for you and your space.

Have you thought about buying the items that you need from a wholesale business? If so, you aren’t alone, but the problem is that if you are unhappy with something you usually cannot return the products. Saving money is only as worthwhile as the products you are purchasing. Shopping wholesalers often seems like a great idea because the prices are really low, but you have to ask yourself when the prices are too good to be true why they are so great. You shouldn’t have to buy these items every year or a couple times a year, and you may end up doing this when you work with the wrong wholesaler. Instead of shopping for the cheapest items, look for items that will hold up over the long term and will look good, too!

If you want to buy outdoor furniture from someone you can trust, start by visiting www.outdoorchaise.com for a great selection of items that will hold up over time, add style and comfort to your space, and will suit your style and your budget. This is a company that deals with spaces big and small, business oriented needs, and furnishings for parks, neighborhood associations, and more.

Outdoor Furniture You Can Count On

Commercial Outdoor Furniture: The Outdoor Furniture You Can Count On
February 22, 2010 by A Managed Blogger
Are you part of a project committee that is looking for very nice and affordable commercial outdoor furniture? You have probably realized by now that when you are creating nice spaces outdoors at a local park or for your homeowners association that you have many choices when it comes to the suppliers of the items you need. You have to be careful choosing not only the furnishings, but the supplier of the furnishings. Of course you want items that will look good, but you also want items that will stand up over time and will fit your budget.

You may have had the time to browse a couple of places in your local area, and found that their commercial outdoor furniture is simply too expensive for your budget. Many local companies and resources for these items can get away with charging too much for their items because there isn’t much competition. For those who want their outside furnishings right away, they have to pay the high prices or they have to go elsewhere. If you are not in a hurry to purchase the things you want, you don’t have to go with the overpriced local places, instead you can spend some time price shopping, which will allow you to get the most for your money.

A great option when you are looking for outdoor furniture but aren’t sure where to get it and you aren’t sure what you need, is to put a professional designer on the job. Many designers have the connections that are needed to not only find the type of equipment you need, but many times they can receive contractors discounts or they simply have good working relationships with the suppliers. Remember when you hire a professional that the project is still yours and you should still have a say in what is going on. Many designers can get carried away, which can mean that you end up with a finished project that doesn’t mean your needs or your vision, and many times this can mean that you exceed your budget.

If you want a great resource for outdoor furniture, you may want to turn to the internet for wonderful variety, great prices, and simply a convenient way to view and order the items that you do need. If you want to deal with a company that specializes in providing equipment to those that need to create or update an outside area, you will likely find the www.outdoorchaise.com website very useful. This is a company that has quite a bit of experience, many different style and pricing options, as well as a dedication to providing consumers with exactly what they need.

Commercial Outdoor Furniture For Business

National Outdoor Furniture Announces High Quality Outdoor Furniture Now Available For Businesses rss Released Mon. February 22, 2010 by National Outdoor Furniture. Spring is here and many businesses need outdoor furniture. Now is the time when businesses should be looking for outdoor furniture before the rush hits and the demand is greater than the supply that retailers can offer Riverhead, New York (Mon, February 22nd, 2010 -- National Outdoor Furniture, Inc. (www.outdoorchaise.com) is proud to provide all of the outdoor furniture that businesses, homeowners associations, and others need to enjoy the outdoors this summer. Now is the time to order the furnishings that businesses need before the masses put in their orders, extending the period of time that it takes to fulfill and deliver the items that are needed.

Many businesses don’t consider their outdoor needs until the warm weather hits and everyone wants to be outside. Big and small businesses often set up outdoor seating areas for clients as well as for employees, which is a useful idea during the summer months.

National Outdoor Furniture reminds businesses that commercial furniture can last a long time, but if new pieces are going to be added or it is time for old pieces to be retired, purchasing should not be postponed until after summer begins. As summer approaches, it will take longer for orders to be filled because manufacturers cannot make the furniture fast enough with the high demand. Ordering ahead of time will provide businesses with more inventory to choose from and much shorter delivery times.

Deron Nakamura, owner of National Outdoor Furniture, says of ordering commercial outdoor furniture on the company website: "We are always ready to answer any questions you might have on our products or outdoor furniture in general. Our website allows you to easily pick out just the right products for your needs and submit a request for a quote with shipping costs and manufacturers lead time. A customized quote is sent to you by fax or email, in most cases within several hours."
