Paletti Maintenance guide
In this maintenance guide you'll find everything you need to know about cleaning, protecting, and maintaining your Paletti. We explain how to clean the fabric and remove stubborn stains. We also tell you how to wash the covers and how to preserve the water-repellent properties of the fabric. You'll also read how to best protect your Paletti during long rainy periods and what we recommend during the winter months. In short: with a little love and the right care, your Paletti will keep looking great season after season. Because the Paletti lounge sofa is modular, you can easily move parts, expand your setup, or give it new covers. That's why you'll also find practical information on this page about changing the covers, maintaining the upholstery, or storing your favorite lounge spot. Whether you've just bought a new Paletti or have been enjoying your lounge set for years: with these maintenance tips, you'll get the most out of your Paletti.

PALETTI COVER
A Paletti is made for outdoor living. With a little extra attention, you'll enjoy your favorite lounge spot even longer. The Cover is made of a water- and dirt-repellent material that helps keep your lounge set clean and tidy. Ideal during a few days of changeable weather or when you're away from home for a few days. That way, you won't have to clean your Paletti as often in between, and it's ready to use faster as soon as the sun breaks through again. It's good to know that a Paletti Cover is water repellent, but not waterproof. During long wet periods or in winter, we therefore recommend storing the pillows dry indoors. When pillows are exposed to moisture for a long time and rarely get the chance to dry completely, moisture can build up in the fabric and filling. So make sure the pillows are completely dry before covering them with a cover or storing them for a longer period. That way, the fabric, filling, and covers stay beautiful longer, and you'll enjoy your Paletti even longer. The Paletti Cover is available in three sizes: Paletti 1-seat Cover, Paletti 2-seat Cover, and Paletti 3-seat Cover. So there's always a fitting protective cover for your setup.
PALETTI CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Accidents happen. A tipped-over glass of wine, mud splashes after a heavy rain shower, or dust that builds up over the course of the season. Luckily, the modular Paletti sofa is designed for intensive use and easy maintenance. For everyday stains, a damp cloth is often all you need. Wipe the fabric clean with a cloth and lukewarm water, and use a neutral soap if needed to remove more stubborn dirt. The pallet and frame can be cleaned the same way. That's how you keep your Paletti clean and ready for your next moment of relaxation. Does your Paletti need a more thorough cleaning? Then you can remove the covers and wash them inside out at 40 °C. Let the covers air dry afterwards. We advise against steaming the covers or putting them in the dryer, as this can damage the fabric and its water-repellent properties. After washing, you can iron the outside of the cover on the lowest setting. This reactivates the water-repellent coating, so the fabric stays better protected against moisture and dirt. Has the Paletti pallet gotten really dirty? No problem: you can use a pressure washer, as long as you keep enough distance. That way you remove stubborn dirt without putting unnecessary strain on the material.
Removing stains from Paletti fabric
A stubborn stain on your Paletti? No need to panic. Most stains can be treated well if you act in time. So remove spilled liquids as quickly as possible and prevent dirt from soaking into the fabric. Different types of stains call for different cleaning methods. A grease stain requires a different approach than coffee, red wine, chocolate, or sunscreen, for example. That's why we've put together an extensive stain guide for the most common stains.
STORING YOUR PALETTI
The Paletti lounge sofa feels at home in any garden or outdoor space and can easily handle a summer rain shower. During long wet periods and in winter, however, we recommend storing the pillows in a dry, sheltered place. Paletti is designed for outdoor use, but prefers to spend the colder and wetter months safely indoors. By storing the pillows inside during the off-season, the fabric, filling, and covers stay beautiful longer. Luckily, that's very easy. Thanks to its modular design, Paletti consists of separate parts that are connected with connector kits. Want to store the set or move it temporarily? Then you simply detach the modules from each other. That way, you don't have to move the entire lounge set at once, but work with separate elements that are easier to lift and store. Extra handy: the different parts are easy to stack. That saves space and makes storing during the winter months a lot more practical.
CHANGE OUTFITS WITH EASE
In the mood for a new color or fabric for your outdoor sofa? With a Paletti Outfit, you change the look of your sofa without having to buy a whole new lounge sofa; all it takes is changing the covers. Choose a different color, discover a new fabric, and give your existing setup a completely different look. From calm tones to bold colors: with a new Outfit, you transform the atmosphere of your patio or garden in no time. All Paletti Outfits are made of high-quality Olefin fabric. This strong material is water and dirt repellent, UV resistant, and suitable for outdoor use. So you'll not only enjoy a new look, but also the same quality and comfort you're used to from your Paletti.
