Yearly cleaning
With removable upholstery, machine wash using the following procedure (general guidelines for washing).
With non-removable upholstery, use specific products for cleaning Alcantara®.
If no specific products are available, dust the material thoroughly.
Be very careful not to wet Alcantara® in depth.
Moisten a soft cloth or sponge with water, squeeze out thoroughly and wipe all surfaces in Alcantara®.
Wipe again with a cloth moistened with clean water and leave to dry completely (overnight).
Once dry, brush delicately with a soft bristled brush to restore the nap.
In case of dry-cleaning do not use trichloroethylene and avoid direct contact with equipment that uses
steam.
Alcantara® must not be treated with chlorine-based bleaches.
Never use a centrifuge.
With removable upholstery, Alcantara® may be safely machine washed at approximately 30°C, using a
neutral detergent.
If Velcro is applied to the upholstery hems, protect the Velcro with counter-velcro before washing to
prevent damage to the upholstery.
After washing, allow the upholstery to air-dry and brush gently with a soft-bristled brush.
The bottom of the iron must be at a temperature lower than 110°C.
If necessary, Alcantara® may be ironed, placing a white cloth between the iron and the material.
Spray extraction cleaning machines may only be used at low temperatures.
For non-removable upholstery, follow the procedure give for yearly cleaning.
