Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Keter Iowa Chair Grafite, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the chair regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For more stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plastic.
