• 4 - How do I clean my aluminum furniture?

  Periodically hose down (NEVER use a power washer on the frame or fabric of your Homecrest furniture) or wash product with mild soap and water to help remove dust, pollens, chemicals, salt water, dirt, etc. Aluminum frames offer exceptionally easy maintenance and should be cared for like the fine furniture it is.

Wipe the area to be painted clean and apply thin coats of paint, allowing ample time for paint to dry between coats.

Repeat if necessary.
