Chair care and maintenance
upholstery
The most important maintenance is vacuuming. It removes dirt and dust that can otherwise penetrate the fabric and settle in. Always remember to use a soft nozzle. Do not rub too hard on the fabric, as this can provoke “pilling” or possibly discoloration.
All textiles shed lint on the surface, also known as pilling. Lint can be gently removed with an electric lint remover.
NON-FATTY STAINS: Initially, dab gently with a clean, lint-free cloth or sponge, wrung out in clean, warm water. The stain is worked from the outer edge towards the center.
STAIN REMOVAL: Can be removed with suitable stain removers. We always recommend that testing is done.
on the products a less visible place, before they are used on the exposed area. We recommend Guardian foam cleaner.
That the cover is removable does not mean that it can be cleaned or washed.
Polypropylene (PP)
Plastic furniture is cleaned with water or mild dish soap. Coarser cleaning tools
can damage the surface of the plastic. Sun and light can permanently change the color of the product.
Aluminium
Furniture made of aluminum does not require any specific form of treatment. Clean with a soft cloth and mild dish soap. Wipe down with a damp cloth afterward. It is often treated with a layer of lacquer. This wears off. Aluminum does not withstand saltwater.
Poly rattan
Dirt is easily removed with a damp cloth or a soft brush. For stubborn stains, use water with a little soap. A hard brush should never be used. The surface can become damaged and there is a risk that,
that the materials become fragile. To extend the lifespan, we recommend indoor storage or the use of protective covering.
Teak wood
Teak wood has a naturally high oil content and can withstand extreme weather conditions. Due to the influence of rain and sun, a natural weathering process may occur.
To maintain the original color for a longer time, we recommend treatment with teak wood oil. Teak furniture
must be stored covered over the winter. Avoid
storing the furniture in warm rooms, as wood dries out quickly. We recommend regular tightening of screws.
Steel
Clean with mild soap and water. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Veneer
For daily cleaning, a lightly damp cloth is recommended. Wipe afterwards with a dry cloth. Water should only be used in limited amounts. Spilled liquids should be removed immediately, as veneer is sensitive to moisture. Never use sulfo or ammonia-based cleaning agents.
Composite wood
For daily cleaning, a damp cloth is recommended, possibly with added detergent. Descaling agents, alcohol, bleach, and similar cleaning products must be removed immediately with a wrung cloth. Scratches can be removed with fine sandpaper.
Laminat
The daily cleaning is done with clean water
– However, laminate surfaces can withstand all common cleaning agents. Avoid using sulfo as much as possible, as this will leave a greasy surface. If there are stains that cannot be removed immediately, you can try a equal mixture of water and chlorine.
Lacquered wooden furniture
Wiping with a damp cloth, wrung out in clean
water. Wipe with a dry cloth. If the finish is matte, a thin layer of furniture oil can be applied. Must not be used outdoors.
Screws
Loose screws are a natural consequence of regular use. Be aware of loose screws and make sure to tighten all screws every 6 months.
