The care of leatherette chairs
From Exit Fabrics, textile factory in Spain, we offer a series of tips to properly care for your leatherette upholstered chairs:
Clean the vinyl periodically: To maintain its appearance and prevent the accumulation of contaminants and dirt we recommend that any stain, spill or dirt should be cleaned quickly to avoid permanent staining. Use soapy solutions of PH neutral or special products for vinyl fabrics to remove stains from the surface of the material. Clean only with a clean white cloth moistened with warm water, rub with gentle circular movements. For more difficult stains use a soft brush with a solution of neutral soap and warm water rubbing with circular movements. The surface that has been washed with soap should then be cleaned with a microfiber cloth moistened with clean water and finally, dry the surface. The use of cleaners, detergents, lacquers, solvents with alcohol mixtures, xylene-based liquids, acetone and MEK is prohibited, which cause damage and exponentially shorten the useful life of the upholstered material.
