EASY CARE AND MAINTENANCE

At Jensen Outdoor, we believe that luxury furniture should offer the luxury of simple care. Maintaining the beauty and comfort of your ipe wood furniture, woven fibers, and cushion fabrics will feel effortless when you follow our easy care guidelines.

IPE WOOD FURNITURE

Protecting New and Newly Cleaned Ipe Furniture:

In a ventilated area, apply Wood Shield to all clean Ipe surfaces to further protect against water and food stains, then enjoy your new set outside.

As Needed Cleaning Instructions:

Wash your Ipe wood surfaces with a soft towel and mild dish soap, then rinse clean with water. Once complete, allow to dry.

Restore The Deep Chocolate-Brown ‘As New’ Finish:

Ipe naturally develops an elegant silver patina over time when exposed to the elements. To restore the ‘as new’ chocolate brown finish of Ipe wood, follow our simple color-restoration process:

To prepare Ipe for a UV-protective coat of Penofin^® Verde Oil Finish, use Penofin^® Pro-Tech Wood Cleaner to remove surface dirt, then rinse off with water.
To brighten and re-establish the pH balance of Ipe wood to best accept the Penofin^® Verde Oil Finish, use Penofin^® Pro-Tech Wood Brightener, then rinse off with water and
Apply Penofin^® Verde Oil Finish as directed on the can, letting it penetrate for 30 minutes.
To remove excess oil finish that hasn’t been absorbed by the wood, rub the Ipe surface with smooth rags until dry to the touch. IMPORTANT: Dispose of rags in a metal bucket
After completely dry, apply Wood Shield to timber to provide additional protection against water and food stains.

SUNBRELLA^® FABRIC TEAK WOOD FURNITURE

Protecting New and Newly Cleaned Teak Furniture:

In a ventilated area, apply Wood Shield to all clean teak surfaces to further protect against water and food stains, then enjoy your new set outside.

As Needed Teak Furniture Cleaning Instructions

We recommend that you allow your teak furniture to weather naturally to an elegant silver tone and simply clean thoroughly once or twice a year with our Wood Cleaner
Wash your teak wood surfaces with a plastic bristle brush and mild dish soap, then rinse clean with water. Once complete, allow to dry.
Under no circumstances should a power washer be used to clean teak furniture as this will erode the surface.
Because teak is a naturally oily wood, it is not possible to paint or varnish. Any paint or varnish applied will not adhere properly to the surface and after a short
