5.4 CLEANING OF FIRMLY UPHOLSTERED COMPONENTS
The headboards, footboards and side panels of the Libra bed can be supplied in the
upholstered version, with fabric or faux leather upholstery, according to customers'
wishes. Any soiling of these components must be removed immediately.
5.4.1 Cleaning the fabric upholstery
Soiling caused by intensive use or food residues must be removed using simple
means. Water, detergent and a (soft) brush are sufficient to brush even stubborn
stains from the upholstery.
1.
Wipe the affected area with a cotton cloth to remove surface fluid or food particles.
2.
Use warm water to moisten stains that have already dried and then clean the area
with a brush.
3.
If any residues are still visible, dab the stain with a solution of water and a few
drops of a mild detergent (mixing ratio approximately 10:1). Use a soft brush or the
edge of a spoon to work on the area after a short contact time. Then dab the
treated area with a clean cloth and dry.
4.
Always work on stains from the edge to the centre so as not to increase the size of
the stain.
5.
Repeat step 3, if necessary.
6.
Rinse the treated area with lukewarm water and dry. Completely remove any
detergent residues.
7.
First let the fabric dry and then brush in the direction of the nap.
5.4.2 Cleaning faux leather upholstery
Regular cleaning increases the service life. Use a mild soapy water solution and a
soft, lint-free cloth or hand brush.
Please remove heavy soiling immediately. The use of special cleaning agents for
cleaning plastics is not recommended.
The following cleaning methods are recommended for removing stains from faux
leather. Many stubborn stains can be removed if the cleaning methods are used in
this order.
Cleaning method 1
Use a mild soapy water solution and a soft, lint-free cloth or hand brush. Rinse the
area with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
