6. Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your chaise lounge.
Fabric Care (100% Polyester)
- Regular Cleaning: Vacuum regularly using an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain. For stubborn stains, use a mild fabric cleaner specifically designed for polyester, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric.
Leg Care (Birch Wood)
- Cleaning: Wipe wood legs with a soft, damp cloth. Dry immediately.
- Protection: Consider using furniture pads under the legs to protect your flooring.
