Aluminium & Steel
These will be chrome plated, bright polished or powder coated depending on the
components & finishes of your chair. These parts can be cleaned with a damp
cloth & in the case of polished or chrome parts, buffed dry with a soft non-abrasive
cloth to prevent streak marks. For chrome plated finishes, stubborn stains can be
removed using a metal cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents in case of
damage.
Wood
Dust regularly. Clean hard surfaces with a damp cloth & then polish with a soft dry
cloth, microfibre cloths are ideal for both purposes. Polish in the direction of the
grain. DO NOT use spray polishes/cleaners or waxes which may damage the
finish & result in an undesirable sheen & a sticky build-up which can be difficult to
remove.
For heavier general soiling & marks on hard surfaces soak a cloth in a mild solution
of soapy water, wring until damp, not dripping wet, & wipe the surface concerned.
Then wipe with a clean, not soapy, damp cloth & finish by drying with a soft cloth.
To remove tape/sticker residue, grease, chewing gum, make-up & adhesives, try
‘De-solv-it Sticky Stuff Remover’, available on line & in some hardware stores.
Other stubborn marks can sometimes be removed with Isopropyl Alcohol, available
from Chemist. Use both these sparingly & with care.
Mesh
Vacuum regularly & occasionally wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Plastic
Wipe with a damp cloth periodically. Dust can gather in some hard to reach areas,
particularly between the seat & back of a task chair. Stubborn stains (pen etc) may
require a mild household cleaning agent to remove –particularly on light coloured
plastic components. Do not use any abrasive cleaning products on plastic parts as
these may damage the surface.
