Assembly instructionsYou're looking good. Keep it up.
We selected Equa XR's materials for their strength and durability. Follow these tips to get the most out of them.
Coated metal surfaces
For normal cleaning, wash all coated metal surfaces with a soft cloth soaked in detergent and warm water; rinse thoroughly and dry.
You can remove scuffs and scratches from coatings with a pre-softened paste wax. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on how to use the wax.
Plastic surfaces
Wash all plastic surfaces with a soft cloth soaked in mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive kitchen cleaners.
Fabric upholstery
For normal cleaning of models with fabric upholstery, vacuum the fabric as needed, using an upholstery attachment. If further cleaning is needed, dry-clean or spot clean fabric with solvent cleaner.
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.
Vinyl arm pads
For models with vinyl arm pads, wash the vinyl with a soft cloth or soft-bristled brush lathered with mild, nonabrasive soap and lukewarm water. Before the surface dries, wipe with a clean, dry cloth to remove any residue. This procedure may be repeated to remove stubborn dirt or stains.
Ink spots sometimes can be removed by washing the arm pads with soap and water, followed by isopropyl alcohol.
Do not use any cleaning method that is not listed above, as other methods may attack the vinyl and cause eventual degradation.
Leather upholstery and arm pads
Some models feature leather upholstery and arm pads. Vacuum or dust the leather frequently with a clean, dry cloth. If leather is soiled, it can be wiped with a damp soft cloth and a lather of any mild soap and a minimum amount of lukewarm water.
Do not spot clean leather; clean the entire surface. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry with a clean, soft cloth.
For spots and spills, wipe excess liquid immediately with a clean cloth or sponge; let the leather air dry. If the spot is still visible, further cleaning may be necessary. Sponge the entire surface — seat, back, or arm pad — with clean, lukewarm water. Let the leather air dry; never use a hair dryer or other heat source to dry leather.
For stubborn spots and stains, apply a mild, nonabrasive soap solution with a clean, wet sponge. Rinse well and let air-dry. For butter, oil, or grease, wipe the leather with a clean, dry cloth and let the remainder of the oil dissipate into the leather. Do not apply water or try to wash a grease spot.
Do not use saddle soap, cleaning solvents, oils, furniture polishes, varnishes, abrasive cleaners, detergents, or ammonia on leather; they will ruin the finish, causing it to become sticky and cracked.
Polished aluminum base
Some models feature a polished aluminum base. For normal cleaning of these chairs, you can apply a pre-softened paste wax to the polished aluminum, following the manufacturer’s instructions. In humid atmospheres near salt water, apply the wax once a month. In other areas, apply wax every three months to maintain the appearance of the aluminum.
