For normal cleaning, wash surface with a soft cloth soaked in mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with  a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners. 

Chair Base - Polished Aluminum 

For normal cleaning, apply a pre-softened paste wax to polished components following the manufacturer’s instructions. Apply wax every three months to maintain the appearance of the aluminum. 

Seat Textiles 

For normal cleaning, vacuum fabric as needed using an upholstery attachment. Vacuuming picks up dust and reduces the need for professional cleaning. Do not brush fabric or use a vacuum attachment with a rotary brush.  Brushing may permanently damage the fabric. 

Spot Cleaning

To spot-clean fabric, immediately soak up the stain with a soft cloth. The longer a stain is allowed to remain on a fabric, the more difficult it is to remove.

For water-based stains (coffee, soft drinks, fruit juices etc.) use a water-based fabric cleaner or a solution of mild (alkaline) warm soapy water applied with a damp clean cloth or sponge.  Work the cleaner into a lather or foam. Never use hot water, it will set the stain. and avoid scrubbing.

Do not over apply water or any liquid solution to fabric as excessive wetting of the fabric with any liquid solution may result  in permanent damage. 

Soak up all remaining solution and use another clean cloth or sponge dipped in cool water to remove any residue.  Let fabric dry thoroughly and then vacuum well before using.

If the stain resists cleaning please contact call a professional cleaning company.
