CAUTION
With a little care you can prolong the life of your
furniture and keep the materials in good condition.
The information below is only intended as a general
guideline. For more information on how to remove
specific stains, please inquire where you bought the
furniture.
• Always remove stains quickly before they can do any
permanent damage to the furniture.
• Avoid placing the furniture in direct sunlight or near a
strong heat source to reduce changes.
• When you move the furniture, make sure to lift it rather
than pulling or pushing it to avoid damaging the floor,
legs and mountings.
• Tighten up the screws after one to two months’ use.
• Avoid improper use such as putting your feet on the
furniture or standing on the it.
• Be careful not to scratch or damage the surface with
sharp objects.
• Smooth out creases and wrinkles with your hand after
use to even out the fabric and prevent seam lines from
being skewed.
FABRICS
• Vacuum the benchtop regularly to remove dust and
avoid fluff and pilling.
• Straighten the fabric with your hands from time to
time. Wrinkles in the fabric can be straightened using a
steamer.
• Soak up spilled liquids immediately with an absorbent
napkin or cloth by dabbing gently towards the centre of
the stain.
• Most stains can be removed with lukewarm water on
a clean lint-free cloth. If necessary, add a little neutral
detergent. Avoid rubbing the material hard as this could
result in loss of colour and damage the fabric. It may
also be necessary to use a hairdryer to avoid leaving an
outline.
• Never use concentrated detergents or bleach,
ammonia or soap intended for hard surfaces.
• HAY only uses top-quality fabrics but all fabrics fade,
and seams weaken, when exposed to strong heat or
sunlight.
SILK LEATHER
• Silk is an aniline leather, which means that it has no or
only a light surface treatment to preserve the leather’s
natural surface and soft touch.
• Vacuum regularly using the upholstery nozzle. Be
careful not to scratch the leather.
• All natural markings, such as scars and insect bites,
will be visible on aniline leather, which contributes to
the leather’s exclusive appearance.
• This kind of leather is very susceptible to dirt, and
over time it will patinate and become slightly darker.
• Aniline leather is demanding to maintain, and we
recommend that you keep a cleaner and care product
suitable for this type of leather at hand.
• Using water may leave a permanent stain on the
surface.
• Do not use sharp objects, strong detergents or
solvents on the leather.
• HAY only uses top-quality leathers but all leathers
fade, and seams weaken, when exposed to strong heat
or sunlight.
POWDER COATED ALUMINIUM
• Clean with a clean cloth wrung in water or in a solution
of water and a neutral detergent. Remove soap residue
immediately using a clean, dry cloth.
• Avoid using scouring cream or scouring pads, as they
may scratch the surface.
