CARE & MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED)
Faux Leathers
These quality products are made of Nytek
®
, a specially engineered nylon fiber matrix. They are designed
with a built-in stain-resistant finish that will not wash or wear off and does not require a topically applied
spray.
• Ordinary dirt, smudges and water-soluble stains such as coffee, tea, juice, soft drinks, milk, beer,
wine, etc. can be removed with mild soap and water. Use a clean cloth or soft sponge to dab the
stain with soapy water then remove the soap solution by wiping the area with a cloth and clean
water. Dry with a soft lint-free cloth or towel.
• Very stubborn stains or non-water soluble stains can be removed with a mild solvent such as
naphtha (lighter fluid, paint thinner). Lightly wipe the stain with a clean cloth which has been
moistened with solvent. Blot the area with a dry cloth and allow to dry.
• Many ink and magic marker stains can be removed using a solution of one part Wisk detergent and
one part rubbing alcohol. Dab lightly with a cloth which has been moistened with the solution. Do
not rub. As the ink loosens, blot the area with a dry cloth. Repeat if necessary. Rinse with a cloth
dampened in clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
• For commercial installations use mild soap and water for general cleaning. Avoid using cleaners
containing abrasives or bleach.
Leathers
• Gently remove dust with a soft, clean cloth.
• Remove dried-on dirt by wiping with a clean dampened cloth, then dry with a soft wool cloth.
Allow to dry thoroughly. Apply a leather-care agent.
• Dab liquids immediately with a dry absorbent cloth without rubbing.
• Remove food and grease immediately, wipe with a clean dampened cloth, and then dry with a soft
wool cloth.
WARNING:
Never use saddlesoap or Ivory soap and water solutions on leather. Never soak the leather
with water or any other cleaning agents. Never use a hairdryer.
Vinyls
• Step 1: For light soiling, a solution of 10% household liquid dish soap in warm water can be
applied with a soft damp cloth. Rub gently and clear water rinse with a dampened cloth. Moderate
scrubbing with a soft brush will help loosen soiling materials from the depressions of embossed
surfaces.
• Step 2: For heavy soiling, dampen a soft white cloth with a one to one (1:1) solution of Formula
409
®
and water or Fantastik
®
and water. Rub gently and clear water rise with a water dampened
cloth.
• Step 3: For more difficult stains on vinyl, dampen a soft white cloth with a solution of household
bleach (10% bleach and 90% water). Rub gently and clear water rise with a water dampened cloth
to remove bleach concentration.
CAUTION:
Do not use with alcohol based cleaning agents.
Laminate Table Top Cleaning
To clean the laminate, use a mild solution of water and detergent on a soft cloth. Wipe clean with a dry
cloth. Do not soak the laminate surfaces. As a last resort, stubborn dirt and grease may be removed
with a lacquer thinner or other solvent. Some stains such as grape juice may be removed by wetting the
table surface and sprinkling lightly with baking soda, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. (Do not allow
the baking soda to remain more than two minutes.) As always, thoroughly dry the surface with a dry
cloth. Never use a harsh abrasive such as Comet cleanser, scrubbing pads, etc. to clean the surface. To
maintain a bright attractive surface, occasionally apply a coating of wax (the same you would use on your
home furniture) to the table top.
