CARE & MAINTENANCE
Sway™ Collection
General Cleaning
The Sway Collection requires minimal maintenance. It requires no more care than a typical stack,
lounge, or task chair. Proper care and mindful use are the best methods of maintaining the appearance
and function of Sway. Periodic light cleaning is all that is necessary. Stains and spots may require more
cleaning attention (see below).
Plastic/Poly Parts
• For periodic light cleaning, use “Formula 409” or a mild solution of water and detergent and a soft
cloth.
• For grease, oils, and adhesive spot cleaning, use “Goo-Gone” and a soft cloth.
• To help prevent the occurrence of more permanent stains and spots, it is recommended to
apply “ArmorAll Protectant” to all poly surfaces prior to use. “ArmorAll Protectant” can be applied
occasionally throughout the life of the product to help prevent the occurrence of stains.
(Thoroughly clean all poly surfaces prior to applying “ArmorAll Protectant”.)
• For stains and removal discoloration, it is recommended to use “Mr. Clean Magic Eraser” with water.
CAUTION:
Never use a rough/coarse cloth when applying cleaning agents to Sway poly surfaces. It is
recommended to use a soft microfiber cloth.
Fabric/Upholstery
Cleaning with the wrong substrates can damage fabric/upholstery. Knowing and following cleanability
code guidelines is a good first step to taking care of furniture surfaces. The fabric supplier and pattern
name must be known and provided to obtain the cleanability code, from the web or customer service
personnel.
Once the cleanability code of any specific fabric is known, the fabric may be cleaned accordingly:
Code
“
W
”
Code “W” is used on fabrics that should be cleaned with water-based cleaning agents. Spot clean using
foam from only water based cleaners or non-solvent cleaning products. Apply foam with a soft brush in a
circular motion and vacuum when dry.
Code
“
S
”
On fabrics with an “S” code, use a mild water-free cleaning solvent-based product. Make sure the room
is well ventilated and there are no open flames, such as a candle or cigarette lighter.
Code
“
W-S
”
Code “W-S” fabrics can be cleaned with either water or solvent-based products. Use a mild solvent, an
upholstery shampoo, or the foam from a mild detergent.
Code
“
X
”
Do not clean with either water or solvent based cleaner. Use vacuuming or light brushing only. Any
cleaning product, whether water or solvent based, may cause staining, shrinkage or distortion of the
fabric surface pile.
Upholstery Cleaning Tips:
• Regularly clean your fabric by vacuuming or light brushing.
• Always check the upholstery’s cleaning code before deciding which cleaning products to use.
• Test the cleaning product in an inconspicuous area first to guard against color bleeding or fabric
shrinkage.
• Follow all directions and advice.
