Care and Maintenance Instructions
General Recommendation for Environmental Cleaning
Procedures to Reduce Interior Environmental Impacts
•
Minimize the amount of cleaning chemicals used since excess
chemicals result in rapid re- soiling.
•
Use of Green Seal Certified Cleaning Products. Green Seal is
awarded to products that work well and have less impact on
the environment.
•
For general maintenance cleaning, consider using vacuums
with high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration to trap
airborne particles and keep them from affecting the indoor air
quality.
•
Use no or low VOC cleaning products. Consider detergent
based products compared to those containing solvents, where
possible.
•
Consider extraction processes where appropriate to remove
excess chemicals and water to maximize cleaning results.
Extraction can also help reduce chemical levels in the indoor
environment. Spot extraction may also reduce the chances for
over-wetting of fabrics and resulting water stains.
•
Choose cleaning products with no or low levels of dyes or
fragrance. Dyes and fragrance do not generally improve
cleaning results and can cause allergic reactions in people with
sensitivities to chemicals. Some dyes could cause staining on
fabrics.
•
Consider choosing biodegradable cleaning products.
•
Environmentally preferable ingredients for cleaners include
surfactants containing terms such as lauryl, amides and
glycosides.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE - For Any Material
•
No material is immune from stains or soiling.
•
Lack of cleaning or improper cleaning will shorten the life span
of items such as fabrics, faux leathers, and leather.
•
Treatments such as Alta do not eliminate the need for routine
cleaning and proper maintenance.
•
The Longer a stain remains on any surface, the more difficult it
will be to remove. Address any stain as quickly as possible.
•
Removing any cleaning residue is an important part of the
cleaning process, and one that is often overlooked. All
cleaners, even mild ones, leave behind a residue that can be
harmful to the surface if not thoroughly removed (usually
through clean water).
NOTE
Improper cleaning and maintenance of any surface or
material may result in the voiding of that product's warranty.
A small inconspicuous area should always be tested before large
scale cleaning.

Haworth Cardigan Lounge Assembly Instructions
Caring for Your Haworth Cardigan Lounge
This product upholstery contains polyester fabric yarns results of
recycled bottle usage therefore t following instructions applies:
UPHOLSTERY - Seat and Back
•
These fabrics are colorfast when using standard wet and dry
processes and are also resistant to most spot-cleaning
solvents.
•
Oil or grease spots will respond to mild solvent or dry-cleaning
agents. A blotting technique should be sufficient to remove
most spots.
•
Accumulated dirt and grime spots can be removed with a mild
detergent or upholstery shampoo. Rinse well with a clean
sponge to remove traces of the water-based cleaning agent,
but do not soak the substrate, if possible. Fabric will dry very
quickly.
•
Avoid excessive brushing or rubbing to prevent pilling of the
fabric surface.
•
The knit can be cleaned with a vacuum.
•
If some soiling does occur, use a mild detergent (10%) and
water solution. Support the mesh with a clean towel on the
back, and gently apply the cleaning solution. Use gentle
circular motions. Once clean, remove any residue with clean
water and a clean towel (still supporting the mesh) and a clean
white cloth.
•
Do not use a heavy bristle brush as this may damage the fabric.
•
Do not use excessive heat while cleaning.
PAINTED STEEL - Base
Regular dusting will help avoid build-up of dirt and grime that can
dull the finish. Use a damp cloth to remove access dirt and grime.
•
Warm water and a mild detergent will remove most spills and
scuffs.
•
Clean all metal surfaces with lukewarm water and a mild soap
as needed.
•
After washing, rinse with water, and dry with a soft cloth.
•
Slide mechanisms need no lubrication. All mechanisms have
been pre-lubricated at the factory to last for the life of the
product.
