6. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your Lafuma chaise longue.

6.1 Cleaning the Fabric (Batyline Duo)

• The Batyline Duo fabric is designed for outdoor use and is easy to clean.
• Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soapy water.
• For stubborn stains, use a soft brush.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Allow to air dry completely before folding or storing.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or high-pressure washers.

6.2 Frame Care (Carbon Steel)

• Wipe the steel frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
• Inspect the frame periodically for any signs of rust or damage.
• If minor scratches occur, touch up with appropriate rust-inhibiting paint.
• Store the chaise longue in a dry, sheltered area during prolonged periods of non-use or adverse weather conditions to prevent corrosion.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 Chair Does Not Unfold/Fold Smoothly

• Issue: Stiffness or resistance when unfolding/folding.
  Solution: Check for any obstructions in the joints. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the frame. Apply a small amount of silicone spray to pivot points if necessary, avoiding contact with fabric.

7.2 Backrest Does Not Stay in Position

• Issue: The support bar slips out of the notches.
  Solution: Ensure the support bar is fully engaged in the desired notch. Check if the notches or the bar are worn or damaged. If so, contact customer support for replacement parts or advice.
