The care and cleaning instructions below are for assistance only. They are
not a guarantee of successful cleaning. These instructions cannot form the
basis for any warranty claims.

If possible, treat stains immediately.

Never use household cleaners to remove marks (e.g. detergents).

Before treating marks, test the cleaning on a hidden part of the uphol-
stery covers. This will show you whether the cleaning will damage the
materials or dyes.

Always only dab moist or greasy marks, never rub them. It is most effec-
tive to gently press an absorbent cloth or a sponge onto the mark.

Do not wash upholstery.

When cleaning leather covers, make sure that the leather is not soaked
through and that no water seeps through the seams of the leather co-
vers.

Treat the mark from the outside working inwards. This prevents the mark
from spreading.

In the case of both solid or softer contamination, first remove the coarse
parts. Next, carefully scrape off the mark with a blunt knife or spatula.

If the mark has already dried in, carefully brush off the coarse parts.
Next, dab off the mark with a damp cloth or sponge.

The upholstery will fade over time, if it is exposed to sunlight. If the tem-
perature within the vehicle rises rapidly as well, the colour will change at
an accelerated rate.
Therefore, we recommend to close the shades on the windows when
there is strong sunlight. Ensure that heat does not build up when you
close the blind.

Moisten a cloth with commercial water-based cleaning agent. (Alterna-
tively, mix 2 tablespoons of ammoniac with 1 litre of water.)

Gently dab the stain with the cloth.

Turn the cloth frequently so that the mark only comes into contact with a
clean part of the cloth.
