Blood or Plant Residue:
Rub out any spots using a clean cloth, soaked in cool water. If stubborn spots remain, use house-
hold ammonia and rinse repeatedly with a clean, wet cloth. Do not use hot water or soap suds as
this will set the stain.
TIP:
Vinyl requires periodic cleaning to maintain its appearance and to prevent the
buildup of dirt and contaminant that may permanently stain or reduce the life of
the vinyl if left untreated. Frequency of cleaning and procedures used depend upon
the amount of use and the environmental conditions in which the vinyl is subject-
ed. Tears or holes in the vinyl can be temporarily covered with clear “office” tape
to prevent further damage. Repairs should be made by a professional uphol-
stery shop. Commercial repair products may contain lacquers and cause the
vinyl to become brittle and more difficult to repair.
Leather
Spots & Spills:
Absorb excess liquid immediately with a clean cloth or sponge. Use water only if necessary. Do
not use a cleaning product. If water is used, clean the entire area where the spot occurred. An
example would be the entire seat cushion or the entire arm. Allow to air dry. Do not dry the wet
areas with hair dryers, etc.
Stubborn Spots and Stains:
Use lukewarm water and a mild soap to work up a thin layer of suds on a piece of cheesecloth.
Scrub the surface. Rinse with a piece of clean, damp cheesecloth. Allow to air dry. Do not use
saddle soap, cleaning solvents, furniture polish, oils, varnish, abrasive cleaners, soaps or ammo-
nia water.
NOTE:
These are recommended or suggested methods of cleaning. The manufacturer is not
responsible for damage incurred while cleaning. Always test the cleaning method in
an inconspicuous area first before applying to the entire area.
Ultratech
Spots and Spills:
Use a mild detergent (Lux or Ivory) for regular cleaning, spots and spills. For spills absorb excess
liquid immediately with a clean cloth or sponge. Clean the entire area with water and a mild detergent.
Allow to air dry or dry quickly with warm setting of hair dryer. Disinfect with 5:1 non-chlorinated
bleach solution.
Stubborn Spots and Stains:
Use a mild solvent (Afta) with a clean cloth or sponge. Wipe with damp cloth and let dry.
