Using this Christopher Knight Home® outdoor chat set cover is a breeze. First, make sure your outdoor chat set is clean and dry. Then, simply drape the cover over the set from the top, adjusting it so that it fits snugly around the furniture. The multiple color options let you choose the one that matches your outdoor decor best. As for maintenance, it's a good idea to clean the cover periodically. You can use a mild soap and water solution to wipe it down. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the 100% polyester fabric. When not in use, store the cover in a dry place to prevent mold and mildew. And since it doesn't require any assembly, you can quickly put it on or take it off as needed. With proper use and care, this cover will protect your outdoor chat set for years to come.
