CAUTION
Upholstery and wooden parts: the leather and wooden parts have to be treated as natural
products, subject to colour alteration, particularly if the necessary precautions for good
maintenance are not taken. RIVA therefore reserves the right to evaluate any problems and
its own responsibility according to case.
MAINTENANCE
At least once a week, carefully wash and clean all teak outside parts, and at least once a
year perform a protective treatment with suitable products.
CAUTION
Current use:
• Do not walk or jump on the cushions;
• Prevent the cushions from turning yellow due to direct exposure to sunlight;
• Prevent the absorption of water or moisture by not leaving the upholstery exposed to
bad weather, particularly during periods of inactivity.
Cleaning:
• Remove ordinary dirt with a warm water solution and neutral soap: do not use deter-
gents or solvents;
• Dry with a soft rag, not leaving any residues.
Preservation:
• Store clean and dry upholstery in a cool, ventilated room with no moisture;
• Do not place heavy objects on upholstery when stored.
