4. Care and Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Fjords Mustang Recliner.

4.1 Leather Care

• General Cleaning: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Spills: Immediately blot any spills with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub.
• Conditioning: For genuine leather, use a recommended leather conditioner periodically to maintain suppleness and prevent drying or cracking. Follow the conditioner manufacturer's instructions.
• Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading and drying of the leather.

4.2 Wood Base Care

• Wipe the wood base with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
• For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.
• Avoid using silicone-based polishes or waxes, as these can build up over time.

If you encounter any issues with your Fjords Mustang Recliner, please refer to the following common solutions.

5.1 Reclining Mechanism Not Smooth

• Check for Obstructions: Ensure there are no objects obstructing the movement of the chair or ottoman.
• Verify Assembly: Confirm that all assembly bolts are securely tightened. Loose connections can affect smooth operation.
• Lubrication: If the mechanism feels stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to moving metal parts (avoid contact with leather or wood).

5.2 Squeaking Noises

• Tighten Connections: Squeaking often indicates loose connections. Re-tighten all bolts on the chair and ottoman bases.
• Inspect Joints: Check all joints for any signs of wear or friction.
