1. Table-tops and seat panels/shells made of wood, polypropylene, polyethylene
or polyurethane.
May be cleaned with a damp, soft cloth or sponge using lukewarm water.
Neutral diluted detergent may also be used in lukewarm water.
Strong detergents which contain bleach or which have an abrasive effect (such as
scouring creams) should be avoided at all costs.
2. Laminate surfaces
May be cleaned with strong products such as normal detergents for domestic surfaces
diluted in lukewarm water, provided that they are not abrasive and do not contain acids
or bleach. Avoid sponges and scourers made from synthetic fibres or metal which may
leave permanent scratches on the surfaces.
3. Chrome, anodised or lacquered surfaces
May be cleaned with strong products such as normal detergents for domestic surfaces
diluted in lukewarm water, provided that they are not abrasive and do not contain acids
or bleach. Avoid sponges and scourers made from synthetic fibres or metal which may
leave permanent scratches on the surfaces. The products must be properly rinsed so
that traces of the detergents do not spoil the special finish by causing the surface to
turn opaque or to oxidise. After washing, dry it with a chamois leather. Polishes for
chromed or lacquered finishes are not recommended: they should be used with caution
and only by experts since the abrasive action may irreparably damage the surfaces.
4. Fabrics
Cleaning on a regular basis is important to keep upholstery
in the best conditions and guarantee a long life. Dust and dirt ruin the fabric. Vacuum
clean regularly (also at a low power level), preferably once a week. Remove non-oil
based stains by gently moistening them with a clean lint-free cloth or a sponge
dampened in warm water and then wrung. If necessary, subsequently damp the cloth in
warm soapy water or water and liquid dish detergent (see Formulas below).
Then rinse the upholstery with clean lukewarm water.
Formulas: the soapy solutions consists of ¼ soap flakes per each liter of warm water.
Cool water before use.
The solution containing liquid dish detergent consists of maximum 1 teaspoon
of detergent per each liter of water. Use only a few drops of product in case of
concentrated dish detergent.
5. Hard leather grade 1, hard leather grade 2 and soft leather
Must not be cleaned with water as this may leave marks. It is better to use quality
products for cleaning leather, carefully following the instructions of the manufacturer
of the cleaning product. In case of doubt test the product on a small area which is
normally hidden from view in order to check the result, waiting at least 24 hours to
allow any possible problems to develop.
6. Faux leather
May be cleaned with a damp, soft cloth using lukewarm water.
