How to: Remove stains

If the covering becomes stained, it can be tempting to try to remove the stains yourself. But be careful, because you can often do more harm than good, and cleaning often requires professional assistance. If staining does take place, you must always take action immediately.

Never use ordinary cleaning products, as the acid destroys the fibres of the fabric. There are various methods you can use for spot cleaning depending on what the stain contains:

Non-greasy stains

Carefully remove the spilled substance (such as food) with a spoon or the back of a knife.Absorb as much of the stain as possible using a white cloth or a paper towel.

Place a cloth dampened in clean, lukewarm water and wrung out over the stain – preferably over the entire surface in order to avoid creating a new spot – and leave it in place until the stain is absorbed.

Avoid rubbing, as this causes the spilled substance to penetrate further into the fabric, and can also abrade the fabric surface.

Grease stains

Grease stains can be removed with a stain remover. Use of stain removers is at your own risk.

If you choose to use a stain remover, we recommend that you:
• Use a soft white cloth
• Test it on a non-visible area first to see if the colour disappears
• Treat the stain from the outer edges inward, order to avoid streaks
• Wipe the entire area with a damp cloth when the stain has been removed

Always use professional furniture cleaner for removing difficult stains.
