We always recommend the use of coasters for plates, glasses and hot dishes on your Bramblecrest woven furniture.

All our tables are hand crafted and the weave can get soft and expand in transit. We offer a glass insertion tool to assist in getting the glass inside the recess, so please email customersupport@bramblecrest.com to request one. We also have a short video documenting how to use the tool.

How do I apply the spray touch up paint?

Touch-up paint for your furniture is available to buy on our website

When applying the paint, choose a warm dry day and ensure the surface to be touched-up is smooth, clean and dry.

Cover any areas that you do not want paint on and practice on piece of cardboard or wood first, so you can familiarise yourself with the range and quantity of the spray.

Concentrate the touch-up spray paint onto any exposed area of aluminium and build up the paint, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next until the affected area is no longer visible. To start the paint will look ‘shiny’, but after a period of a few months the paint will dull down to match the existing paintwork.

As always, please continue to cover the furniture when not in use to minimise fading and prevent damage from the elements.

I have an aluminium furniture set and live in a coastal environment. Is there anything I can do to increase the longevity of the set?

If any painted metal product is to be exposed to a coastal atmosphere for prolonged periods of time, we suggest that it is washed down with fresh water when not in use. Through the winter months we advise that after washing down it is dried off and a layer of WD40 is applied to provide a protective coating against the elements. The furniture should then be covered.

How do I clean my Bramblecrest Monte Carlo faux-leather furniture?

For light to moderate soiling, we suggest the use of Bramblecrest Outdoor Leather Cleaner, available from our online shop. View our video for further information:

Carefully rub the solution onto the affected area and immediately rinse with a damp wet cloth to remove the bleach concentration. For more stubborn stains increase the concentration of bleach and repeat these steps.

Faux-leather is water resistant; rainwater will run off the surface of the leather. We recommend occasional application of our Outdoor Leather Protector – available from our online shop to maintain the appearance of your faux-leather furniture. View our video for further information.

My teak furniture is splitting. Is this normal?

Teak will naturally develop splits as it dries out through the season, this will be particularly visible on the ends of parts such as arm rests and edges of tables. This is part of the natural weathering process.

How do I treat my Bramblecrest teak furniture?

You can let your teak furniture weather naturally to an elegant silvery grey colour. Alternatively, we recommend cleaning the furniture with hot soapy water or using Bramblecrest Teak Cleaner or giving the furniture a light sanding. When the product is completely dry apply Bramblecrest Teak Protector to maintain the original honey colour. Our teak care products are available to buy from our online shop.

Bramblecrest advise against the use of teak oil as it can make the furniture turn black, sticky and patchy in colour.

Why has my Bramblecrest teak furniture turned grey?

This is a natural weathering process for teak which is caused mainly through exposure to UV. This does not affect the strength or longevity of the product and is purely cosmetic. Bramblecrest Teak Protector can be applied to help prevent this process. Available to buy from our online shop.

Wasps keep eating my teak furniture. What can I do?

In rare cases wasps and other insects can be attracted to the natural oil in the wood. A light sanding of the wood will normally remove any superficial damage caused.

This may be due to a teak oil application, something we do not recommend. Black marks may also be caused by applying treatment when product may be slightly wet. We would suggest a light sanding of the furniture which will enable you to treat with our Bramblecrest water-based teak products, available from our online shop.

Can I jet spray my Bramblecrest teak furniture?

What are cocoon poles made from?

The steel poles are powder coated to enhance protection against exposure to the elements.

Do you sell furniture covers for stools?

As the stools are relatively small, they can be completely stored away or placed underneath the sofa cover. However, please be careful of the legs sticking out and catching on the cover.

What can I do to prevent condensation under my furniture cover?

Often mistaken for leakages, temperature changes and high level of humidity in the air will cause condensation to form. To reduce the amount of condensation:

• Ensure your furniture is dry before covering it.

• Encourage air flow under the cover. Bramblecrest covers have mesh air-vent that promote airflow, but still prevent water from rainfall from entering the cover.

• Use correct sized cover for the set, covers that are too loose can trap small pockets of moisture-laden air.

• Remove the cushions from the furniture before covering it.

Please note, that no covers on the market can totally protect against moisture/condensation forming underneath the covers.

How do I clean my Bramblecrest Cushions?

Remove spillages immediately using an absorbent sponge or cloth. For stubborn stains – hand wash at 30 degrees using a household stain remover. Do not machine wash season proof cushions or cushion covers, as this may cause damage to the water-resistant lining.

Watch this video for further information on cleaning your cushions.

A thin layer of outer fabric can retain water but will usually dry after a period of 24-48 hours of ensuing warmer, dry conditions. In the unlikely event the inner filling becomes wet please remove the outer cover and allow to dry for 48 hours before replacing.

Can I machine wash my cushions?

No, because of the season proof lining you cannot machine wash. We recommend using warm soapy water and a soft brush to clean. For stubborn stains we would suggest soaking the cushion covers in warm water.

My cushions have started to fade is this normal?

Our cushion cover fabric contains UV stabilizers. However, over long periods of time, the chemicals within the material fabric are broken down by ultraviolet light that is present in the sunshine which can result in fading.
