The patio lounge set can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner under certain conditions, but attention should be paid to the matching of materials and cleaning methods. The following is a point by point introduction:
1. Parts suitable for dry cleaning
●Fabric or cushion surface:
For fabric cushions, seat cushions, back cushions, etc., a vacuum cleaner with a soft bristle brush head can be used to remove daily impurities such as dust, hair, pollen, etc. Especially suitable for fabric surfaces that are prone to dust accumulation in outdoor environments.
●Vine weaving/PE vine surface:
A vacuum cleaner can be used for surface dust removal, but it is recommended to use a gap nozzle to remove small dust particles between the vines, which is efficient and will not damage the material.
●Wooden or metal surfaces:
For hard frame parts such as aluminum alloy or wood surfaces, a vacuum cleaner can be used to quickly clean dust and debris, but avoid scratching the coating with the suction nozzle.
2. It is not recommended to use a vacuum cleaner directly
●Wet or water stained surfaces:
If the surface of the chair is damp or stained with rainwater, it is not advisable to use a vacuum cleaner directly to avoid electrical short circuits or damage to the internal filtration system. It should be dried before use.
●Rope weaving and loose fabric decoration:
Some terrace chairs are equipped with rope woven backrests or loose decorations, which may be sucked in or even stretched when using a vacuum cleaner. Caution should be exercised or manual cleaning should be used.
3. Precautions for using a vacuum cleaner
●Choose the appropriate suction head:
Using a soft bristled brush head or gap suction nozzle can prevent scratching the chair surface or inhaling fabric fibers, especially suitable for cleaning cotton and linen pads or PE rattan materials.
●Reduce suction:
When cleaning fabrics or fragile surfaces, it is recommended to use a lower suction force to avoid excessive suction force causing material deformation or pulling.
●Regular cleaning frequency:
It is recommended to use a vacuum cleaner to lightly clean the seat cushions and crevices once a week, which can help maintain cleanliness, reduce dust accumulation, and prevent the growth of insects and mites.
4. It is better to use it in conjunction with other cleaning methods
●Paired with a damp cloth or neutral cleaner:
Vacuum cleaners are suitable for dry dust removal, but cannot remove oil stains or dirt. You can use a damp cloth to wipe metal or plastic frames before and after vacuuming to achieve better results.
●Priority should be given to disassembling and washing the soft cushion when it is detachable:
If the cushion and seat cushion are detachable and washable, they should be cleaned regularly. A vacuum cleaner is more efficient as a daily maintenance tool.
