How do I clean my Flutter Chair?
ACRYLIC CANVAS COVERS
For cover general care remove any loose dirt & spot clean with water + a mild detergent.
If cleaning is required hand wash with a solution of mild natural soap in lukewarm water. Rinse several times with clean water to remove soap. Dry naturally.
Alternatively clean using your garden hose. Machine washing is possible but not recommended frequently.
Do not put in clothes dryer. Do not use solvents or harsh detergents.
TROPICANA COVERS
For cover general care remove any loose dirt & spot clean with water + a mild detergent.
If cleaning is required hand wash with a solution of mild natural soap in lukewarm water. Rinse several times with clean water to remove soap. Dry naturally.
**To keep you covers looking beautiful, the fabric supplier recommends that tropicana covers are not left outside for extend periods of time.
MESH COVERS
For cover general care remove any loose dirt & spot clean with water + a mild detergent.
Wash down your covers using the garden hose.
When outdoor chairs are not in use over winter it is recommended that the covers are brought inside and hung in a dry area. Creases can be removed using a cool iron or left outside in the weather & used.
We suggest that the Flutter frames are hosed down every so often when left outside or stored inside.
This will keep any build-up of salt from the air to a minimum.

What Is the maximum weight for a person to sit in the Flutter chairs ?
The Flutter frames look light weight but are made from steel rod and welded so are deceptively strong. The covers are made from a marine weight acrylic canvas sewn with marine grade thread and have reinforced corners.
The recommended maximum weight would be 95 kg. However due to the nature of a sling style cover excessive sudden & forceful downward pressure & weight may cause wear & tear in the corners. This can usually be repaired but is not covered by the 1 year workmanship warranty on a new unused cover.
My cover has crease lines on the fabric...what are these ?
When the cover is new, sometimes on the darker colours you can see crease lines. These are due to the surface water proof finish and are only temporary. These will disappear once your Flutter cover has been outside exposed to UV light.
I have an old frame. Can you make me a new cover to fit ?
Yes...we can either make a new cover using your old existing cover as a pattern [ extra charges apply] or we have a generic Vintage cover option to fit the NZ made narrow frames... to check your frame measurements click here
NB The Flutter covers are only sold with Flutter frames.
How do I stop my Flutter cover blowing off the frames when windy?
If you want to keep you covers on the frames when its windy and are having problems try using 'Blutack' on the corners of the frame, then gently push the cover into position. Its not very fancy but it works !!
How do I stop my cover from pooling with water when it rains?
If it looks like rain, simply remove the cover & bring inside or lift off the bottom covers and let the cover hang from the top corners.
Alternatively we now have the Flutter Chair MESH , the rain runs through this fabric and will not pool.
