As a general rule:
▪
Carefully remove thick areas with a spoon. Never try to scrape or pull
off dried-on stains.
▪
Soak a cloth in detergent or stain remover according to the recommen-
dation.
▪
Cleaning agents must never be applied directly to the cover material!
▪
If foreign media are used, first apply them to a non-visible area to test
the colour fastness of the material and check for changes to the finish.
▪
Never soak stains.
▪
Always use distilled water to avoid limescale deposits.
▪
For stains of uncertain origin, first proceed in the same way as for wa-
ter-soluble stains. If this is not successful, apply the recommended
treatment for non-water-soluble stains.
▪
After treatment, pat the cover dry with a dry white cloth, then brush
down and allow to dry at room temperature. After drying, brush again
with a soft brush.
▪
For persistent stains, seek advice from a specialist.
▪
Never use steam cleaners.
