Your Furnigami gear was engineered to withstand the toughest conditions the outdoors can throw at it. But true durability isn't just about how a product is built—it's about how it's maintained. The most experienced adventurers know that taking care of your equipment is a non-negotiable part of the process. It's a ritual that ensures performance, extends the life of your investment, and signals a level of preparedness that sets you apart.
This guide isn't just about cleaning; it's about preserving the integrity of the gear you rely on. A few minutes of care after each trip will ensure your furniture is ready to deploy flawlessly the next time adventure calls.
Frame & Legs: The Core Structure
The foundation of your furniture—the frame, ROCKSTEADY™ legs, and PAWS —is built for rugged use. Keep it that way.
Post-Trip Wipe-Down
Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to wipe down all metal and plastic surfaces. This removes dirt, dust, and any corrosive elements like salt or sand that can degrade materials over time.
Inspect the Ratchet System
Before storing, briefly check the ratchet mechanism on each ROCKSTEADY™ leg. Clear out any debris (twigs, mud, grit) that could impede the locking action. A quick spray of compressed air is perfect for this.
Check the Feet
Ensure the PAWS orbital feet are free of caked-on mud and can pivot smoothly. This guarantees they'll have maximum surface contact on your next outing.
Pro Tip: Do not use harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as they can damage the finish and compromise the materials.
CUSHPAK™ Cushions: Comfort & Care
Your CUSHPAK™ cushions are designed for comfort and resilience. To maintain their look and feel:
Spot Cleaning
For most spills, a simple mix of mild soap and water applied with a clean cloth is all you need. Gently dab the affected area; do not scrub aggressively.
Deep Cleaning
For more significant dirt, unzip and remove the outer fabric cover. Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water, then let it air dry completely before re-inserting the foam. Never put the foam core in the washing machine or dryer.
Storage
Always ensure your cushions are completely dry before storing your furniture for an extended period. This prevents mildew and preserves the integrity of the foam.
Long-Term Storage: The Off-Season
When you're not out exploring, storing your gear correctly is critical. Storing your Furnigami furniture in a clean, dry place like a garage, shed, or closet protects it from prolonged UV exposure and extreme temperatures, ensuring it's in peak condition for your next season of adventures.
Taking pride in your gear is the hallmark of a true outdoor professional. Follow these simple steps, and your Furnigami furniture will remain a reliable, high-performing part of your kit for years to come.
