Removing green deposits from aluminium, ceramic & stone
For aluminum, plastic, ceramic, and stone, first check the furniture manufacturer's recommendations and the finish. A coating or top layer helps determine which cleaner is suitable. Test the Multi Surface Cleaner on an inconspicuous area and follow the current label. The instructions provided for the 750 ml Multi Surface Cleaner state a three-minute contact time; do not adopt a longer wait time from a different product.
Clean with a soft sponge or appropriate cloth and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Do not use a pressure washer on garden furniture. If dirt remains, follow the instructions on the cleaner for a repeat treatment. Afterward, only protect the completely dry surface with a protector suitable for the material.
Removing green deposits from wood & teak
For teak, use the specific wood maintenance routine. Wet the wood thoroughly and apply Teak Cleaner according to the current label. The provided instructions state a three-minute soaking time. Clean with a suitable scrubbing pad in the direction of the grain and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Do not use a high-pressure cleaner: it can damage the wood.
Allow the wood to dry completely before applying a protective treatment. Choose a color protector if you wish to treat the wood color, or transparent Teak Shield for water- and dirt-repellent stain protection. Follow the specific drying times for the chosen bottles. A protector does not guarantee that green deposits will never return.
