General care information
Material care information
Fabric
Fabric
- To care for cover fabrics, simply hoover dust and lint regularly. Vacuum dusting is highly recommended.
- Fresh spots and spills can usually be removed by blotting immediately with an absorbent, lint-free sponge or cloth. To prevent remaining traces of a ring mark, work from the outer edge of the spot towards the centre.
- To avoid mineral residue on dark fabrics after drying, we recommend the use of household-grade distilled water for dampening. Stubborn spots can be treated by brushing dry stains lightly with a soft brush (for example, a clothes brush). Depending on the type of stain, the use of solvents may be necessary.
Faux / Vinyl leather
Faux / Vinyl leather
- Simple wipe down with slightly damp cloth is the best way to care for synthetic vinyl materials.
- In case of stubborn stain, wipe away as soon as possible. If required, use non abrasive material with mildly soapy water to attempt removing the stain.
Leather
Leather
Leather furniture should not be exposed to direct sunlight and should be kept some distance away from sources of heat; otherwise, the leather can dry out and become rigid.
To ensure that leather remains soft and supple and that its natural protective film against water and grease remains intact, we recommend that you treat your furniture once a year with a mild cleaner or conditioner (always do a spot test first !)
- Stain removal: superficial dirt can be removed with a damp cloth as long as care is taken not to wet the leather and not to apply direct pressure. You should also avoid rubbing too hard. Small dirt stains or pen stains are best removed with a colourless pencil eraser.
- For cleaning, we recommend using a leather cleaner in foam or liquid form. Small dirt stains or pen stains are best removed with a colourless pencil eraser. Solution should be dabbed away immediately with a cloth and, if necessary, wiped off with a little water.
Please do not use any aggressive agents such as stain removers, turpentine, shoe polish, etc.
Wood
Wood
Wood is long-lasting and natural material. Furniture made of wood reacts to its environment; exposure to light, for example, alters its colour. And it is able to adapt its own moisture content levels to that of its environment. In the case of excessive fluctuations in temperature and humidity, however, it reacts by cracking and warping.
- Avoid placing hot items directly onto the surface, use a coaster or alternatives.
- Avoid placing furniture in direct sunlight to prevent discolouration by UV rays.
- Wet spot should be dried immediately with a cloth.
Do not use any harsh cleaning agents or care products containing silicone or abrasives. We do not recommend using furniture polish or wax, as they contain unsuitable solvents and/or colour additives and may leave a coating that is very difficult to remove.
Metal
Metal
- For polished high-shine, matte chrome and aluminium surfaces, apply a glass cleaner with a clean, soft cloth and subsequently wipe the surface dry with a soft cloth.
- For stainless steel, we recommend the use of a special spray or cleaning agent for stainless steel or normal dishwashing liquid.
- Powder-coated surfaces should be cleaned with water-based solutions containing pH-neutral detergents (pH 5-8) and soft, non-abrasive cloths, rags or absorbent wadding.
*Always clean metal surfaces carefully and without scrubbing to prevent scratches. Never use cleaning agents containing abrasive grains or powders, acetic acids or citric acids. - Always do a spot test on hidden areas to ensure that the solution is suitable for usage
