How to Care for Your Acapulco Chair
Placed on February 20, 2025
The Acapulco chair isn’t just a piece of furniture—it’s a design icon. Known for its airy, woven frame and timeless silhouette, it blends comfort with craftsmanship. But like any well-loved item, it thrives with proper care. Investing in a high-quality Acapulco chair means you’re choosing longevity over throwaway culture, but a little maintenance can go a long way.
According to a study by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, extending the life of furniture by just two years can reduce its carbon footprint by up to 30%. That’s why it’s worth taking a few simple steps to keep your Acapulco chair looking great year after year.
Why Quality Matters in Your Acapulco Chair
Not all Acapulco chairs are created equal. At Silla Acapulco Original, we use phthalate-free PVC that’s fade-resistant, flexible, and durable—designed to withstand sun exposure without losing its shape or flaking. Cheaper replicas might look similar at first, but over time, they fade quickly, crack, or sag, especially when left outdoors.
Our chairs are crafted to last, helping you invest in a piece that resists wear and tear while promoting sustainability. It’s about choosing quality that supports artisans and reduces waste.

Routine Care for Longevity
Clean Gently but Regularly
-
For PVC cords: Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
-
For metal frames: Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove dust or dirt. If rust appears, lightly sand it off and apply a rust-resistant paint.
Protect from Extreme Weather
While our chairs are designed for outdoor use, bringing them inside during heavy rain or snow extends their lifespan. If moving them indoors isn’t practical, use a high-quality furniture cover.
Mind Natural Materials
If your Acapulco chair features natural materials like hemp or tule, keep it indoors and away from moisture. These materials aren’t designed for outdoor exposure and can degrade if left in the elements.
Seasonal Maintenance Tips
Spring & Summer
Fall & Winter
Repairing and Reweaving
Even with the best care, accidents happen. The beauty of the Acapulco chair’s design is its ability to be repaired. If a cord breaks or loosens, it can be rewoven easily. Check out our step-by-step guide on how to reweave your Acapulco chair for a DIY approach that extends its life.

Choosing Sustainability Over Throwaway Culture
We believe in longevity and conscious consumption. Every chair that lasts longer helps counteract the fast-furniture trend. Opting for quality means fewer replacements and less waste. It’s a small choice that makes a big difference.
