Cleaning and care instructions
Upholstery
The upholstery can be quickly and easily removed. The material and the spacer fabric are high quality materials that are
washable up to 40°C. The upholstery is fire-retardant (BS 5852 part 1).
Please remember that even high-quality materials are subject to fading through longterm exposure to intense sunlight or
repeated washing. (fig. 12)
Hook and loop fasteners
To ensure that the hook and loop fasteners continue to function efficiently, clean them occasionally using a brush. Always
try to keep the fasteners closed during washing.
Chassis
The chassis is manufactured from high-quality steel and aluminium tubing which is coated with a robust heat-enamel
finish; and can be cleaned using commercially available no-toxic soap (neutral soap).
