How to Maintain
When cleaning the product we
recommend that you use only warm water
and a non-abrasive detergent. Never use
organic solvents or dry cleaning uids.
Upholstery and fabrics
1. The upholstery and fabrics can be cleaned
by hand whilst in place. When cleaning we
recommend that you use only warm water
and a nonabrasive detergent.
2. The best cleaning method is a
‘wipe & dry’ technique.
3. Staining should be removed as
quickly as possible with absorbent cloth,
towels or a sponge. Routine soap and warm
water sponging is eective for ordinary
soiling and minor spills. Be careful not to
over wet the fabric, as this will cause the
staining to spread.
4. Antiseptic cleaning agents can be used
on more stubborn stains. These may require
a safe solvent such as Isopropyl Alcohol
or Mineral Spirit. A half cup of household
bleach to 5 litres of water can also be used
as a useful disinfectant.
5. Always ensure the product is dry
before use.
Metal and plastic and wooden
components
1. Soap and water or antibacterial spray can
be used for daily cleaning.
2. For deep cleaning a low pressure steam
cleaner can be used.
3. Do not use solvents to clean plastic
wooden or metal components.
4. Make sure the product is dry before use.
5. Check all wooden components regularly to
ensure there are no cracks or splitters.
