CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
General Cleaning: To get rid of any dust or marks on the surface the Faux Leather MUST be wiped DAILY with a moist soft cotton cloth. Visible and loose dirt can be picked up with a vacuum cleaner (Do not use a brush type vacuum) Use a soapy cotton cloth and gently rub stains with circular movements. For more stubborn marks a dilute bleach solution can be used 5% Bleach to 95% Water. Stain Removal: Blot excess liquid as quickly as possible with a clean 100% cotton white absorbent cloth or sponge. If necessary use clean warm water. Clean the entire area where the spot occurred on the cushion, arm etc. Water may dissolve dirt particles and make cleaning easier. Spills that are still moist are the easiest to remove. Leave to air dry naturally, do not use a hair dryer etc to speed up the drying. Coffee, tea etc spills: Use an absorbent white cloth or piece of paper. DO NOT RUB. Allow the stain to be absorbed and removed from the material surface. Then rub gently with white tissue paper in circular movements to remove any remaining dampness and residue. Ink, Ball point pen, Denim, hard stains: Rub the stain by means of gentle circular movements with tissue dampened with 96°alcohol and water (1:1) After this rub the surface with gentle circular movement with tissue paper to dry it. Butter, oil, grease stains: Wipe excess butter, oil or grease off the surface with a clean 100% Cotton white dry cloth. Use a soapy cotton cloth and gently rub the stain with circular movements. Use a clean damp cloth to wipe the area and dry the surface. Chewing gum: Place ice cubes in a plastic bag and apply on the chewing gum. Wait several minutes, lift the ice bag and remove the chewing gum. DO NOT USE CHEMICALS, SADDLE SOAP, CLEANING SOLVENTS, FURNITURE POLISH, OILS, VARNISH, ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR AMMONIA IN WATER. Frequency of routine couch cleaning will depend on exact application. 1. Ensure the couch is in a suitable area for cleaning. 2. The couch must be OFF of the wheels. 3. Disconnect from mains power supply if electric model. 4. Control handsets can be wiped over using an alcohol wipe. 5. Prepare a solution from the guidelines detailed above. DOC No. 03-016-UM

6. DO NOT SATURATE PRODUCT – This should be a wipe down – not a soaking! 7. Start by cleaning the top surface of the couch, working down onto the frames below, ensuring to not accidentally activate any of the release levers, or user interface parts. 8. Ensure the couch is dry before re-use. 9. Safely discard of cleaning materials. 10. Wash hands thoroughly. If DECONTAMINATING the couch then repeat steps above using a dilute Hypochlorite & warm water mixture (mixed at 10,000ppm) instead of warm water and soap. It is crucial that any staining is treated as soon as possible but never later than 24 hours. Delays in cleaning will give stains time to react with the plasticiser in the faux leather making it more and more difficult to remove.
Note: These are recommended or suggested methods of cleaning. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage incurred while cleaning. Always try the cleaning method in a hidden area first to see the results. Remember if you are not sure contact you customer representative before proceeding.
