The bottle contains 500 ml. Check the material and finish of your furniture before you start cleaning and protecting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdentify HPL and Polywood first\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck the furniture details to see what material the tabletop or slats are made of. HPL and Polywood are the applications listed for this product in Golden Care’s Dutch-language information. A wood-like appearance alone does not identify the material. So don’t automatically assume that every composite, plastic or wooden surface needs the same Protector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso consult the furniture manufacturer’s care advice and test the product on an inconspicuous area. Real teak requires a different care routine suited to the type of wood and the desired colour. Identifying the material in advance ensures that the treatment you choose is suitable for the product it was designed for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePrepare a clean, dry surface\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGolden Care recommends cleaning first with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tuinmeubel-reiniger-multi-surface\"\u003eMulti Surface Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e. Follow the instructions on that product’s bottle and the furniture care advice. Rinse with clean water after cleaning as directed, then let the surface dry completely.

The Dutch Protector instructions recommend applying the product at 5 to 25 °C. Plan the maintenance treatment around the conditions and drying times specified on your bottle. This ensures the surface is ready before you apply the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApply two thin coats according to the bottle instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eShake the bottle thoroughly for at least one minute. Using a soft, lint-free cloth, apply a thin coat to suitable HPL or Polywood. Spread it according to the label instructions. First test it on a section of the surface that you have prepared in the same way as the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dutch Golden Care instructions recommend applying a second thin coat after 30 minutes. They then advise waiting 24 hours before exposing the surface to the weather. If the instructions differ, follow the label on your bottle. Both the wait between coats and the time before outdoor exposure are part of the treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaintain stain protection\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGolden Care describes this Protector as water-repellent and as helping to prevent stains while preserving the material’s appearance. Keep the furniture clean and check its condition. The maintenance treatment is no reason to leave dirt on the surface without checking it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dutch instructions recommend treating the surface twice a year and paying extra attention to tabletops as needed. Check the material and the previous treatment each time you reapply. Clean and prepare the surface again according to the bottle instructions.
