4. Maintenance
Cleaning Instructions
To keep your KRITTER chair clean and in good condition:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution.
- Dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent moisture damage.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, strong chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
Care Instructions
Regular care helps prolong the life of your chair:
- Regularly check that all assembly fittings (screws, bolts) are properly tightened. Retighten them when necessary to maintain stability.
- Avoid exposing the chair to direct sunlight for extended periods or to extreme temperature changes, as this can cause the wood to dry out, crack, or fade.
- Protect the chair from excessive moisture.
5. Troubleshooting
Chair feels wobbly
If the chair feels unstable or wobbly:
- Inspect all screws and fittings. Tighten any loose connections using the appropriate tool.
- Ensure the chair is placed on a completely flat and even surface. Uneven flooring can cause instability.
Surface damage (scratches, chips)
For minor cosmetic damage:
- Small scratches or chips can often be touched up with appropriate furniture paint or a wood repair kit that matches the chair's white finish.
