6. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your armchair.

• Regular Cleaning: Vacuum the fabric regularly using an upholstery attachment to remove dust and loose debris.
• Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain. For stubborn stains, consult a professional upholstery cleaner or use a fabric-specific cleaning solution, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the fabric to fade. Position the armchair away from direct sunlight or use curtains/blinds.
• Protect from Pets: If you have pets, consider using a protective cover to prevent scratches or damage to the fabric.
• Leg Care: Periodically check the tightness of the leg screws and re-tighten if necessary. Clean wooden legs with a soft, damp cloth.

• Fabric Stains:
  • Refer to the spot cleaning instructions in the Maintenance section. Act quickly to prevent stains from setting.
• Squeaking Noises:
  • Squeaking often indicates loose connections. Re-tighten all screws, especially those connecting the legs to the frame.
