BELLA-DURA® Bella-Dura® fabrics are made with solution-dyed yarns. Its inherent stain resistance will never wear off. Cleaning Bella-Dura is easy and safe -- even with bleach. However, a mild soap-and-water solution is all that is required for most spills. Cleaning Code WS – Clean with water-based cleaning agents, foam or pure water-free solvent. Vacuuming or light brushing is recommended to prevent dust and soil buildup. General Recommendations

• Clean with water-based foam or upholstery cleaner or dry cleaning solvents • Do not saturate with liquids • Do not get the furniture wet

Regular Maintenance

• Vacuum regularly • Use the proper upholstery attachment to avoid pilling and remove dust and lint • Clean periodically to remove build up • Promptly treat spots and stains

Bleach Cleanable

• To disinfect spray a 4:1 ratio water/bleach mixture on the fabric and allow to linger for the time specified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention • Thoroughly rinse with water and pat dry

Stain Treatment and Spot Cleaning

A professional cleaning service is recommended

Treat stains quickly • It will become increasingly difficult to remove the longer a stain is allowed to set • Pretest any cleaning method or agent in a small hidden inconspicuous area • Several less concentrated applications are less damaging than one concentrated application Do not let fluids penetrate the surface • Remove fluids immediately by blotting with a clean, colorfast, absorbent cloth Remove solid or semi-solid substances • Using a flat object, remove as much of the stain as possible • After removal, vacuum thoroughly using the proper attachments before cleaning with an agent Water-based stains • Using a soft brush or sponge, apply warm, soapy water to the stain Oil-based stains • Use solvent or dry clean solution. Don't apply cleaning agent directly. Apply cleaning agent to cloth or sponge For all stains • Use light, quick strokes and start from the outside of the stain and work towards the center • Do not rub or scrub as this may damage the fabric • Do not use heat. Heat will set the stain

Crypton and Incase

CRYPTON®

Crypton Fabric is a specially engineered fabric system that promises and delivers superior performance from stains and spills. Each fiber of Crypton Fabric is encapsulated with patented technology through an immersion process, so it never breaks down its resistance to stains, moisture, mildew, bacteria, and odors. The impenetrable moisture barrier protects the fabric from spills, keeping stains from setting in the foam of the cushions. The fabric itself is also disinfectable when used in conjunction with EPA-approved Crypton Disinfectant & Deodorizer.

Cleaning Code W – Water-based cleaning agents or foam may be used. General Recommendations

• Clean with water based foam or cleaner • Do not saturate with liquids • Do not get the furniture wet • Do not use dry cleaning solvents

Regular Maintenance


Crypton® suggested cleaning method*

• Wipe off excess spills with a dry cloth • Use a powdered enzyme detergent mixed with water to clean Crypton. If necessary, use a soft brush • Wash off the soapy cleaner with clear water. As with any other fabric, take care of spills ASAP

* Note: Always keep in mind that Crypton® is a textile and like all other fabrics, it must be properly cared for to maintain its original features. Besides quickly taking care of spills when they occur, in high use areas, be certain to clean the seating once every three to four months to avoid dirt build up.

RINSING INSTRUCTIONS

Rinsing cleaner residue is a critical step in the care of fabric. Cleaning agent residue will continue to degrade fabric, shorten the fabric life and or affect its appearance if not removed. Follow rinsing recommendations outlined for each fabric in the Cleaning Guide. Most fabrics specifically recommend thoroughly rinsing with water and a soft cloth. Do not saturate any fabric with water. See specific cleaning and rinsing recommendations in the Cleaning Guide.
