I bought this chair about 2 years ago. The chair was left out during a downpour &amp; some of the aluminum parts are rusted. How can I clean it?

sorry, I don't know the solution. they say coke cola removes rust but I have never tried it. I think the best think is to go to goggle, ask the question and maybe they have the answer. good luck.

I've had this chair for over a year and I've had some pretty big people sit in it. I haven't found a weak spot yet and nothing is rusted it's all aluminum I believe.

The metal at the cord base has a slight bit of rust on mine as well. I only use water in the bird bath that it heats. I have used white vinegar and an old toothbrush to clean off any mineral build up on the metal element, and then rinse it well. This may be worth a try. Hope this is of some help.

The chair is already treated; but naturally the sun will eat away at the stain... ideally, we think you should reseal once every 1-2 yrs and/or restain (i.e. you have stains and sealer stains at your local hardware stores assuming you are looking for the new clean look year around). ;-) I hope the info help enjoy ;-)

It is best to just replace it. You can try and soak it in vinegar if there is calcium build up on it. For more info you can contact tech support at 1-800-519-8794

Take it apart and clean with mineral sprits. Clean each part good, it is easy for it comes apart real good.

I have had my chair for about a month, maybe two? and it's super easy to wipe clean! I use one of those hand held scrubbers with the soap inside (hope that makes sense) and I bring a glass of water to the chair with me and the scrubber and just scrub it all down! It comes clean really easily and holy cow sometimes it looks REALLY messy. The dirty always comes off and it looks good as new. I also use my vacuum to get all the crumbs out from the seat. I have never had to take it apart to wash it!

I used the chair in the shower. It had been yossrd in the trash. My shower was large enough to accommodate but the workmanship of the chair was not well made.

Hi Vickie, we'd recommend cleaning just because there may be dirt and grime on the chair you can't see. However, if you truly don't think it is dirty, we would at least recommend dusting and/or vacuuming to remove all of that dirt. You may find that if it's years of dust, a wet cleaning product like Leather Honey Leather Cleaner will help get it out of the crevices and pores of the leather.

The fabric covers and straps on the seat are removable and can be washed. I have done this several times after drinks were spilled. The hard plastic parts can be cleaned with a rag or cleaning wipes and then wiped dry. Liquids can accumulate in cavities in the bottom plastic part so be sure to turn it over to empty it.

I've left it outside a couple of nights, and it's not showing any sign of rusting, but I haven't owned it long enough for it to rust. It's a great chair, and it's difficult for me to find a chair that's comfortable because I'm 355 pounds. So I take good care of it.

Send it back. I had mine for just a few months and it rusted. I had it in my house and nowhere near water. It's junk.

I used a little rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab to clean the heating element in mine about a year ago. It worked for about a year stopped working then has worked fine since I cleaned it. I think using distilled water keeps it from getting gunky around the heating element from minerals, etc in the water.

I did. The item has a coating on it to prevent it from rusting. Wash well with soap and water, let dry and it should be fine.

Take some high grit sandpaper (400 wotked great for me). Wet sand it. Try to remove as much rust as possible. You are going to primer the piece with high heat primer. Worth the investment to do it right.
