shedding of fibers from the felt is normal and not indicative of any
defect.
To treat liquid stains, remove spills immediately using a clean
damp cotton cloth or with detergent soap and warm water.
Carpet and fabric cleaners can usually be used; always test an
inconspicuous area before the actual stain.
Do:
•Vacuum or use a soft brush to clean Sound Mosaics
Do not:
• Use strong solvents, highly alkaline or abrasive cleaning
agents.
• Do not completely saturate module with cleaning solution
or water.
