Our chairs are designed to be easy to maintain. All models (except the Optimum) are equipped with removable upholstery. The use of soapy water for surface cleaning is sufficient. Avoid pressure or machine washing as this may cause the inside structures to rust, which can interfere with proper operations and create moisture in the upholstery. Disinfect with mild bactericides. Lubricate moving parts occasionally to ensure optimal operation.
