Before apply the Berlin Gardens Water Repel, check to make sure fabric is clean and dry.
Then, wet the entire surface of the cushion and let dry for 6 hours before using. *Do not fold, or store cushions that are treated until they are entirely dry.

Proper Care & Maintenance For (HPDE) Poly Furniture

To keep your Berlin Gardens Furniture up to par, clean it on a regular basis with Berlin Gardens Cleaning Products or a non-abrasive soap and water. While most of the colors only need to be clean a couple times throughout the year using soap and water, certain colors such as white (but not limited to), need to be cleaned more frequently to maintain.

In extreme conditions, with colors like white, spray the furniture thoroughly with a non-abrasive cleaner, then scrub the furniture using a soft bristled brush and rinse off with warm clean water.
If needed, spray the furniture with non-abrasive cleaner and wash it using a pressure washer ( not exceeding 1,500 PSI). Do not place the tip of your pressure washer closer than 8″ to 12″ from the furniture, or it will tear into the material.

*Do not place flower pots or any items on the furniture that will leave stains. Do not place hot items directly onto the furniture to avoid melting.

All fasteners on furniture manufactured by Berlin Gardens are stainless steel with most fasteners being Chrome Plated. Chrome Plated Stainless Steel is a coated stainless steel and one of the most corrosive resistant fasteners on the market. However, in extreme conditions such as coastal areas, while Chrome Plated Stainless Steel will be less likely to rust, it is still recommended to regularly rinse it with fresh water to ensure the longevity of your furniture and fasteners.

If properly cared for, you will be able to relax in your fine piece of poly furniture for many years!

Proper Care & Maintenance For Donoma Fire Pits

Poly Material: Poly Fire Pits are made from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), a recyclable plastic that will never need to be painted or stained. It will not rot or splinter, and it contains an added UV protective agent to resist fading. Poly material is not affected by most corrosive substances and will not promote bacterial growth.

Cleaning: To maintain the beauty of your Poly Fire Pit, clean it regularly with soap and water. Use only nonabrasive soaps. While most colors need to be cleaned only several times per year, certain colors such as White, (but not limited to this color) need to be cleaned frequently in order to maintain its original beauty. In extreme situations and with colors such as White, spray the material thoroughly with a nonabrasive cleaner then scrub using a soft bristle brush and rinse it off with warm clean water. If needed spray the Poly Fire Pit with a nonabrasive cleaner and wash it using a high-pressure washer. Do not place the tip of your pressure washer closer than 8″ to 12″, or it will tear into the poly material. Your pressure washer should not exceed 1,500 PSI.

Melting and Stains: A Glass Wind Guard must be installed on Fire Pits at all times to keep flames from touching the material and avoid melting. Lighting or burning a fire pit without the glass wind guard installed may result in melting of the poly material and thus voids this warranty. If any colored liquids such as wine, or soft drinks are spilled on your top, clean immediately to avoid possible stains. Do not place flower pots or any items that will leave stains on fire pit. Do not place hot items directly on the top to avoid melting.

Stainless Steel Components: Stainless Steel Heat Barriers used on Poly Tops to distance flames and heat from the material are 304 grade stainless steel and may rust in normal outdoor conditions and/or coastal areas. In extreme conditions such as coastal areas, it is recommended to regularly rinse Stainless Steel Components with fresh water to help prevent rusting. When not in use, covering your fire pit with a waterproof fire pit cover is recommended to minimize the chances of rust.

Burner: See page nine (9) of the Crystal Fire Manual included with the Burner. Carefully read and follow all warnings and instructions regarding use, service and maintenance.
