Using this chair is easy! Just place it in your outdoor dining area and enjoy your meals. When it comes to cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution to wipe down the aluminum frame and teak accents. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the materials. For the sling material, a simple rinse with water should do the trick. In case of bad weather, it's a good idea to store the chair indoors or cover it to prolong its lifespan. Check the joints and connections regularly to make sure everything is tight and secure. With proper care, this chair will serve you well for a long time.
