– Apply pressure but do not rub too vigorously.
– It is important as the cloth becomes stained, use a clean section of the dampened cloth or the stain will spread.

This procedure is not intended for normal cleaning.
Fabric Seat, Back
Normal Cleaning
– Vacuum fabric as needed using an upholstery attachment.
– Do not brush fabric or use a vacuum attachment with a rotary brush.
– Brushing may permanently damage the nap or change the character of the fabric.
– Do not apply water or any liquid solution.
Wetting the fabric with any liquid solution may result in permanent damage.
If further cleaning is needed, dry-clean or spot clean with solvent cleaner.
Spot Cleaning
– Immediately soak up the stain with a so absorbent cloth.
Do not dry the stain completely or it may set.
The longer a stain is allowed to remain on a fabric, the more dicult it is to remove.
