We recommend the following methods for cleaning
Method A:
• Use only commercial cleaning agents that have a water basis.
• Alternatively, add two tablespoons of ammonia to 1 litre. Dip
a cloth into this solution and gently sponge the spot. Turn the
cloth over so that you are using a clean cloth to touch the spot.
This method is particularly suitable for removing:
- wine, milk, lemonade
- blood
- biro, ink
- urine, sweat
- mud
- vomit
Method B:
• Use only mild, water-free solvents for dry cleaning.
• Dampen the cloth and proceed as described in method A.
This method is particularly suitable for removing:
- wax, candles
- pencil
Chocolate or coffee should only be washed out with luke-warm
water.
Rules for furniture surfaces
• Clean wooden furniture finishes with a moist cloth or sponge.
• Rub dry with a soft, dust-free cloth.
• Use mild furniture polish.
• Clean the surface with a special solvent for PVC surfaces. Do
not place carpets on wet PVC surfaces. Carpets and PVC
surfaces could stick together.
• Never use chemical cleaners or steel wool, because they will
damage the PVC surface.
Rules for cleaning the carpet

• Clean with a vacuum cleaner or brush.
• If necessary, treat or shampoo with carpet foam.
Rules for cleaning PVC surfaces:

-
ring if it is walked on regularly. When in use, clean the
