Maintenance

Cover

For home washing of covers, follow the symbols on the technical sheet that came with the product.
Periodically adjust the Velcro fasteners to remove folds and creases due to normal use of the product.
If there are no Velcro fasteners, smooth the cover manually from the inside towards the outside.
For ordinary cleaning, dust with a soft dry cotton cloth.
If liquids should accidentally fall on the surface, remove them immediately and dry with paper towels.
The surface can then be cleaned with a white cotton or microfibre cloth, slightly damp with water and neutral soap, and then dried in a well-ventilated place.
In case of stains, act immediately to blot the stain with a clean white cloth and, if necessary, remove the dirt with a spoon or knife, using the flat part horizontally and being very careful to not ruin the cover.
Dab the stain from the outer edges inward to avoid rings.
All actions must be done with circular movements, without exerting excessive mechanical pressure.
