Vinyl:

Vinyl needs proper maintenance and regular cleaning even though it is very durable. The best way to clean a vinyl seat or booth is to remove dirt with a soft damp cloth right after a spill. Ideally, you should get to the spill before the dirt hardens.
At each closing shift use; warm water, a few drops of dish-washing soap, moisten a soft cloth with the soapy water and wipe down the vinyl seats. Finish the process by rinsing the cloth in clean water and going over the vinyl once more.
Never use oil on the seat/booth as it will harden the Vinyl.

Wood Furniture:

Solid wood seats and table tops require careful maintenance to keep them looking new for years to come. Cleaning wood frequently will keep it in good condition. A soft dry or very slightly moist cloth to clean the furniture is suggested. A table cloth to cut down on wear and tear of the table is also a good idea.
Applying furniture polish every three months to the clean wood surface is recommended to protect it from water damage and to keep it looking shiny and new.

Patio Furniture:

Patio furniture is made of aluminum and is built to last. But, general cleaning and maintenance is still required.
Over time aluminum loses its shine due to oxidation. Using car or metal wax every few months will help prevent the oxidation process and will keep your patio furniture in good condition.
We recommend covering the furniture with weather proof covers when not in use.

General Tips:

  • When removing or repositioning items on the tables always lift the items, instead of pushing or sliding, this lowers the chance of scratching the wood.
  • When using candles on the tables; use a small tray, votive candle holder or wider candle stand to prevent the heat from the candle and hot wax from damaging the wood.
  • Direct sunlight will eventually damage your furniture and cause colors to fade. Shades, tinted windows or placing seating away from the sun are things to consider when planning the décor and style of the establishment.
  • Always use place mats and hot pads when serving hot food on the table.
  • When moving furniture, avoid dragging them. Always lift the restaurant chairs and tables to move to the desired spot.
  • When washing the floors avoid contact between your chairs and the water. Make sure to move furniture out of the water’s way.
