Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning the Suede Fabric: The suede fabric upholstery is wear-resistant and stain-resistant. For routine cleaning, wipe spills and dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the fabric.
- Frame Care: Wipe the metal frame with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and safety.
