( Product Care )
Metal
In order to maintain the aesthetic characteristics of these finishes over time and avoid rust, regular, methodical and meticulous cleaning is necessary. For everyday maintenance, dust with a soft dry cloth. For greasy oily marks (fingerprints) we advise cleaning the surfaces with normal liquid detergents for glass. Products containing solvents and/or alcohol and hard fibre cloths (linen and synthetics) should be avoided, as they could ruin and/or scratch surfaces. Require monthly maintenance with specific metal cleaning/polishing products.
Bouclé
For weekly cleaning, use a vacuum cleaner with soft brushes and a clothes brush along the direction of the pile. If done carefully, this will result in an even fabric surface and will maintain the aesthetic and mechanical properties of the covers over time. To remove creases caused by use, place a cloth over the fabric and press with a steam iron. If dry cleaning is necessary please refer to specialised firm, providing the technical reference sheet that comes along with the product itself.
