General Outdoor Care Principles
Seasonal Check: Inspect all items for looseness, rust, dirt, or damage at the start of each season.
Regular Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, harsh chemicals, or pressure washers on items with electrical components (e.g., solar panels) or delicate finishes.
Severe Weather: Before strong winds, heavy storms, hail, or snow, consider moving lightweight items (e.g., Wind Chimes, Tablecloths, Solar Lights) indoors or to a sheltered area. Ensure heavy items like Statues and Planters are stable.

Winter Storage: In freezing temperatures or during long periods of non-use, moving the product indoors can help preserve battery life. 3. Check Seals: Ensure all seals are intact to prevent water ingress. |
