The best advice is to wipe down the commercial furniture each day with a moist, soft cloth. On a weekly basis clean with soap and water and dry with a soft cloth. You can wax your polished chairs with any ordinary car wax. Never use commercial kitchen chemicals on the chairs, barstools and tables.
Daily cleaning: Windex® or similar spray cleaner, with or without bleach followed by a soft, lint free towel. Wash any film or residue with hot water. Do not use Stainless Steel cleaner on any aluminum furniture.
Heavy-duty dirt or oil: Very hot water and strong soap, followed by a soft, lint free towel.
Light scratches: High quality aluminum polish with buffing pads in a circular pattern (available at most hardware stores). Follow by a light polish of cornstarch with a very soft cloth.
