5. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your chairs.
- Boucle Fabric: For routine cleaning, vacuum the fabric with a soft brush attachment. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild fabric cleaner following the product instructions, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Rattan Backrest: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Keep away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to prevent drying or warping.
- Metal Frame: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Dry immediately to prevent rust. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
- General: Periodically check and tighten all screws to maintain structural integrity. Avoid placing hot items directly on the seat or backrest.
