Care/cleaning of fabric covers

Danger.
Observe the general information/safety
notes in this section.
Note:
Regular care and basic cleaning help to
maintain the value and high-quality ap-
pearance of fabric covers. For this reas-
on, carry out basic cleaning regularly.
Carry out basic cleaning more regularly,
depending on use and the level of dirt.
Basic cleaning - weekly
Vacuum the covers thoroughly follow-
ing the nap of the fabric.
Caution:
Do not use vacuuming nozzles made of
rubber or rubber components. These
could pull threads out of the upholstery
covers.

Brush the fabric with a soft brush
following the nap of the fabric.
Basic cleaning - every six months
First carry out the weekly basic
cleaning.
Make a foam from a mild, lukewarm
soap (e.g. from a mild-action deter-
gent).
Apply the foam evenly over all the
covers using a soft, slightly damp
sponge.
Wait until the freshly cleaned covers
are completely dry.
Caution:
The covers must be completely dry before
they are used again. Permanent pressure
marks could otherwise form.
Brush following the nap of the fabric
using a soft brush, without applying
pressure.
Removing stains
Caution:
Remove dirt as quickly as possible to
avoid permanent stains and prevent dam-
age to the covers.
Remove as much dirt as possible
using a lint-free cloth.
Work mild, lukewarm soap into the
dirt using a soft sponge in circular
movements from the outside in. Ap-
ply light pressure when doing this.
Note:
Always work on the dirt from the outside
in so that the dirt is not spread over the
fabric.
Remove the soap used using a clean,
soft sponge.
Wait until the freshly cleaned areas
are completely dry.
