MAMAGREEN | Care & Maintenance
ALUMINUM:
Made from the alloy 6063, aluminum frames are electrostatically powder coated, and baked in an oven at a very high temperature, forming a solid surface with high UV resistant capacities. Various colors and textures are available and have slightly different specifications (see our color charts for details). Ultra-Durable colors offer higher protection in a chlorine or marine environment, and better UV and scratch resistance, which are the preferred choices for contract use.
- To clean: Wipe down with a soft brush, soapy cloth, then repeat without soap. In general, smooth surfaces are easier to clean than textured (sand) surfaces.
- Stains: Stains can be removed by using Mr. Clean Magic Eraser sponge. In all cases, avoid acidic, alcohol or solvent based cleaners, and especially abrasive pads, sand paper or metal brushes. Aluminum frames are subject to abrasive wear that causes damage to the powder-coated surface, especially in sandy or rocky areas, moving or use, or upon contact with hard, sharp or abrasive objects.
- Peeling: Peeling or bubbling may occur after some time, especially in salty or chlorine environments, without damaging the structural integrity of the frame.
- Frost: Frost damage may occur, in case there’s a buildup of water inside the frame, it is important to allow circulation and not to close any holes at the bottom of the legs or the frame.
- Touch Up: Touch up paint is available to repair scratches or peeling.
