4. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Realspace Winsley chair.
- Cleaning Upholstery: For general cleaning, spot clean the bonded leather with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.
- Frame and Base: Wipe metal parts with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Casters: Periodically check casters for accumulated dust, hair, or debris. Clean them to ensure smooth rolling and prevent floor damage.
- Fasteners: Regularly inspect all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Retighten as necessary to maintain stability and safety.
