UPHOLSTERY
In order to preserve the life and good looks
for the Fitform, care and attention should be
paid to the maintenance of its coverings.
Regular Maintenance:
It is recommended
that the chair is vacuum-cleaned once a
week whilst the armrests and upper part of
the backrest is cleaned with a damp
chamois. Dip the chamois in clean water
and wring it out carefully before use.
Treating Stains:
Stains must be treated in
accordance with recommendations in the
Table of Stains.
Always remove the bulk of the substance
first and then try the agent on an
inconspicuous part of the chair.
Remove spilled substances as quickly as
possible using a spoon, clean cloth or
tissue, work inwards from the outside edge
of the stain.
Moisten the stain with one of the cleaning
agents specified in the Table of Stains
(apply B, C and D with a cotton stick).
Clean the stained area with a sponge or
chamois.
