We advise that you do not use abrasive cleaners or chemicals on the concrete. Wiping it over with a damp cloth and non-citric washing up liquid is generally recommended.
Acidic substances, such as vinegar or lemon juice, (and also hot tableware) could etch the surface of the concrete so the use of coasters and table mats under liquids will help protect the surface.
Concrete & resin concrete is porous and liquid can soak into the surface so ensure you wipe up any spillages immediately, but with regular waxing (approximately every six weeks or more if desired, using our Concrete Wax) this will help to keep your table sealed.
We recommend the use of a furniture cover all year round which will help to protect your garden furniture. The Turin table top is made from a fibre glass resin mix which will naturally create a certain amount of flex on the table top - this is particularly important in a table of this length to ensure longevity of the table and to prevent any imperfections occuring. Pooling of rain water will naturally occur on this table as there are no drain holes or slatting.
The use of a Furniture Cover all year round will help to protect your garden furniture and prolong the life of the concrete and wooden frame.
Furniture covers should be raised off the table top to ensure that air can circulate sufficiently and should not have a PVC backing to them. In extreme weather conditions (scorching heat or snow/frost) the cover should not touch the top of the table or you may find it will stick to the concrete and leave marks.
