TIP:
Vinyl requires periodic cleaning to maintain its appearance and to prevent the buildup of dirt and
contaminants that may permanently stain or reduce the life of the vinyl if left untreated. Frequency
of cleaning and procedures used depend upon the amount of use and the environmental conditions
in which the vinyl is subjected. Tears or holes in the vinyl can be temporarily covered with clear
“office” tape to prevent further damage. Repairs should be made by a professional upholstery shop.
Commercial repair products may contain lacquers and cause the vinyl to become brittle and more
difficult to repair.

Removing ballpoint pen stains:
Wipe the stain off with ethanol (ethyl alcohol). If the stain cannot be removed with ethanol, use the following
procedure. Proceed with caution when using toxic chemical.
1. Prepare bleach. Dilute household bleach (sodium hypochloride) with the same amount of water.
2. Place a piece of tissue and apply the solution prepared by step 1 (do not apply too much). Cover it with
polyethylene film to prevent the solution from drying.
3. Remove the tissues occasionally to check on the condition of the stain. When the stain is almost gone,
remove the tissues completely. Do not leave on for more than one hour.
4. Wash the stain with sufficient amount of water.
If there is residue of bleach, polyurethane resin and back cloth will deteriorate. Neutralize it by the
following method:
Place a piece of tissue, as in step 2, and apply hydrogen peroxide solution (15%).
Leave the solution on for approximately 30 minutes and then remove the tissue.
Completely remove the residue of hydrogen peroxide on the Ultra-leather with water.
Sodium hypochloride is the only chemical that will remove ballpoint pen stains. However, this chemical may
cause polyurethane to yellow or the back cloth to deteriorate. It is recommended to remove ballpoint pen stains as
early as possible with ethanol.
