human weight and this can create dangerous situations.
Check the textile coating for holes, cracks and worn spots;

Check the upholstery-mounting grommets to make sure that they are all correctly aligned and secure.

solvents, abrasive waxes, caustic chemicals or spray silicone. Never use abrasive cleaners; they could scratch the
finish. Never use steam or high pressure cleaners. Upholstery and plastic components can be cleaned with a mild
soap and water solution.
