Lipstick, Grease, Oil, Make-Up or Shoe Polish:
Apply a small amount of mineral spirits with a cloth. Rub gently. Be careful
not to spread the stain by smearing it beyond its original source. Remove
shoe polish immediately as it contains a dye which will cause permanent
staining. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Candy, Ice Cream, Coffee, Tea, Fruit Stains, Liquor, Wine, Tanning
Lotion or Soft Drinks:
Use lukewarm water and sponge repeatedly. Any loose material should be
gently scraped with a dull knife. Any soiled area that remains after drying
should be gently rubbed with a cloth, dampened with a mild detergent
solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Blood or Plant Residue:
Rub out any spots with a clean cloth soaked in cool water. If stubborn
spots remain use household 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 contaminants 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 subjected. 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
upholstery shop. Commercial repair products may contain lacquers
and cause the vinyl to become brittle and more difficult to repair.
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 ammonia 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.
