12.0 Cleaning & Care Information
How to Maintain
When cleaning 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 non-abrasive detergent.

3. Staining should be removed as quickly as possible with
absorbent cloth, towels or a sponge. Routine soap and
warm water sponging is effective 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 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 or metal components.
