How to care for your IKON Recliner.
Dressing of back and footrest
Dressing is the simple operation of using your hands to gently push
the seat quilt towards the back of the chair and return the quilt to the
original position.
To ensure maximum safety and efficient operation of your IKON
Recliner, all seat backs and quilts are sewn into place, in order to
prevent movement and allow easy operation of the reclining action.
IKON Recliner quilts will gather when fully opened, due to extra fabric
needed when the footrest is in the closed position. Daily ‘dressing’ of
the back and quilt will help maintain the original form and look of the
chair. If left undressed the quilt may over time appear to lose shape
(see fig 1)
.
Regular cleaning of the recliner and its base
Increased wear and tear on the fabric and base can be caused
by dust and dirt particles which can build up on surfaces. It is
recommended that the fabric should be gently brushed and
vacuumed on a monthly basis. However, you should never use
a stiff brush, as this can score the fabric’s pile and damage the
integrity of the upholstery. Regular cleaning is particularly important
due to the pile in the material becoming ‘crushed’ by consistent use
and gives an appearance of changes in tone. Regular brushing will
help to rectify this tonal change and keep the fabric in good condition.
The base should be regularly cleaned with a non abrasive damp
cloth. Strong detergent or powered cleaners should be avoided.
Soiling and stains
Should your IKON Recliner become soiled or suffer from stains, it is
recommended that wet cleaning should never be used, as this can
cause the fabric colour to run and may leave a permanent stain
within the fabric. We recommend that stubborn stains should only
be treated by a professional upholstery specialist. The effectiveness
of any specialist cleaning treatment will depend upon the degree of
soiling or staining, it is therefore advisable to have your chair treated
before any soiling becomes ingrained in the fabric.
IKON cannot be held responsible for any damage caused to the upholstery by
cleaning or stain removal treatment.
