All Navy Officer chairs are made by hand from recycled aluminum, with either a hand brushed, clear anodized finish or a powder coated finish. Each piece is unique with subtle differences.

Hand Brushed Finish
Clean the hand brushed, clear anodized aluminum frame with soap and water, and dry with a soft cloth. You can also use Windex®, Formula 409® or similar spray cleaner, with or without bleach followed by a lint free towel.

Hydrogen peroxide-based cleaners may also be used, dilution level 1:10. Wash any film or residue with hot water.

Do not use Stainless Steel cleaner on any aluminum furniture. For heavy-duty dirt or oil stains on a hand brushed frame, use a very hot water and strong soap, followed by LIGHT scrubbing in the direction of the aluminum grain with a soft bristled brush. If the frame finish is brushed aluminum, you may also use a damp Scotchbrite® pad.

Anodized aluminum is corrosion-proof and can be used outdoors, however we suggest cleaning with soap and water every two weeks to remove grit and other air pollutants that can pit the surface.

Powder coated aluminum frames:
For powder coated frames, use a clean, soft, non-abrasive cloth, rag or industrial cotton. We recommend using warm water mixed with a mild soap such as Dawn. Avoid strong rubbing. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly to avoid residue or water spots. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

Emeco's powder coated finish is outdoor approved. We suggest cleaning with soap and water every two weeks to remove grit and other air pollutants that can pit the surface.
