Cottage Stuff products are built for real outdoor use, but proper care will help keep them looking their best for years to come. Below are simple care tips for our dock ladders, cottage chairs, and smokeless fire pits.
Clean with mild soap and water as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads that may scratch the surface.
Aluminum is naturally corrosion resistant, but saltwater and harsh conditions can cause wear over time. If used in saltwater, rinse the ladder with fresh water after use to help reduce salt buildup.
During the off season or when not in use for long periods, store the ladder in a dry, protected area to help keep it in its best condition.
Check hardware occasionally and tighten as needed. If any part becomes damaged or worn, stop using the ladder and contact us for support.
Clean with mild soap and water as needed. For tougher marks, use a non abrasive cleaner and rinse with clean water.
The Flux is made from UV protected HDPE and built for outdoor use. Like any outdoor product, extended exposure to harsh sunlight, extreme heat, extreme cold, or excessive moisture can affect appearance and performance over time.
For long periods of non use, we recommend covering the chair or storing it in a cool, dry, shaded area to help keep it looking its best.
The Flux is designed to be low maintenance. No painting, staining, or sealing is required.
Check hardware occasionally and tighten as needed. If any part becomes damaged or worn, stop using the chair and contact us for support.
Allow the fire pit to cool completely before cleaning. Wipe away ash, soot, and residue as needed using a soft cloth or sponge. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and water.
Stainless steel is rust resistant, but not rust proof. To keep The Pit looking its best, clean off dirt, water spots, and residue regularly, especially after exposure to rain, humidity, or harsh outdoor conditions.
Over time, heat and outdoor exposure may naturally change the colour and finish of stainless steel. This is normal with regular fire pit use. A stainless steel cleaner or polish can be used when needed to help maintain the surface.
When not in use for long periods, cover the fire pit or store it in a dry, protected area to help reduce exposure to moisture and dirt.
Before use, check that the fire pit is stable and in good condition. If you notice any loose, damaged, or worn components, stop using the fire pit and contact us for support.
