Bamboo Care

                     

 

 Follow these steps to maintain and preserve the lush nature of your bamboo for many, many years!

1. Wash the Tiki with an anti-mildew solution on a monthly basis. This is the start to maintaining your Tiki in pristine condition!

2. Our Tikis are coated with two coats of an extremely strong, luxurious UV-protected varnish. Apply an additional coat of UV protected varnish a minimum of once a year to maintain the original look. If you are located in an extremely hot, desert like area or in a cold location with harsh winters apply a coat every 6 months for additional protection. There is a new product on the market which is, in our opinion, even more effective than UV-protected varnish based on our trial and error. It is Cali Bamboo® WeatherGuard™ and it is designed specifically to extend both the look and longevity of bamboo products that are exposed to exterior elements. Cali Bamboo® WeatherGuard™ will completely eliminate weathering that occurs to bamboo. It is designed for optimal air quality and it has no environmental impact. Cali Bamboo® WeatherGuard™ contains no formaldehyde, ammonia, aromatic hydrocarbon compounds, exempt solvents or hazardous air pollutants. Many interent retailers are now carrying it and at a cost of about $40 a gallon it is a reasonable and very effective product that will ensure that your Tiki will look as good as the day you got it year after year!
