6. Maintenance & Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your vidaXL Reclining Armchair.

• Cleaning: The synthetic leather upholstery is stain resistant and easy to clean. Wipe spills immediately with a clean, damp cloth. For general cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then wipe dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Mechanism Care: Periodically check the reclining mechanism for any debris or obstructions. If the mechanism becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to moving parts (avoiding upholstery).
• Frame & Legs: Regularly check all bolts and screws for tightness and re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.
• Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause the synthetic leather to fade or crack over time.
• Heat Sources: Keep the armchair away from direct heat sources like radiators or fireplaces.
