Sling/Padded Sling

Sling mesh fabric has been a staple in outdoor furniture due to its durability, low maintenance, and quick-drying properties. The Batyline® by Serge Ferrari, a premium choice, combines high-tenacity polyester yarn with a PVC coating. This blend makes it highly resistant to cracking, tearing, mildew, and rot, as well as offering superior UV and color retention, making it ideal for poolside and oceanside environments. Unlike some slings, Batyline maintains its shape and doesn’t create pockets, thanks to the Precontraint technology, which ensures both strength and stability.

For added comfort, a Padded Sling option is available, featuring Batyline fabric with a cushioned filler that allows water to pass through while providing a soft, supportive seat.

1) Remove Cushions: Start by removing any cushions from your furniture. You can safely soak the frame in water since it’s waterproof. Use a garden hose or a bucket of warm water for this step.

2) Clean with Soap Solution: Spray the furniture down, then apply a soap mixture. Combine approximately ¼ cup (60 ml) of mild detergent or dish soap with 1 gallon (3 liters) of warm water. Moisten a soft-bristle brush in the solution.

3) Scrub the Frame: Gently scrub away any dirt from the wicker using the soft-bristle brush. The soap solution will help loosen dirt, making it easier to rinse off. Be sure to clean between the hand-woven wicker and use the soft brush to reach harder-to-clean areas.

4) Remove Tree Sap: For tree sap, use Goo-Gone or a similar product. Note: Rinse thoroughly after use, as prolonged exposure to grime-removing agents may discolour the weave.

5) Rinse Thoroughly: After scrubbing, rinse the furniture with a garden hose or a bucket of water until all soap residue is removed. Allow the furniture to dry in the sun for at least two hours. Drying time may vary depending on temperature, humidity, sun exposure, and wind.

6) Reassemble and Enjoy: Once the furniture is dry, return the cushions.
