Using these patio chairs is easy. Just place them on your patio, porch, or balcony, and you're ready to relax. For long - term use, it's a good idea to move the chairs under a shelter during extreme weather conditions like heavy storms or blizzards. When it comes to maintenance, the cushion covers can be unzipped and machine - washed whenever they get dirty. The all - weather wicker rattan and rustproof aluminum frames don't require much special care, but you can wipe them down with a damp cloth occasionally to keep them looking great. Also, avoid using abrasive cleaners on the frames and cushions as this could damage them.
