Vacuum fabric upholstery weekly using a low-suction upholstery attachment — this removes surface dust, crumbs, and pet hair before they work into the fabric fibres. Spot clean stains promptly with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild fabric cleaner — test on an inconspicuous area first. Blot rather than rub to prevent spreading the stain or damaging the fibres. Allow to dry fully with good airflow before using the chair. For deep cleaning, an upholstery steam cleaner or professional cleaning service is more effective than home spot cleaning.

Wipe leather and faux leather surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dust and marks. For more stubborn marks, a mild soap solution on a wrung-out cloth works effectively. Dry immediately with a clean cloth — do not allow moisture to sit on the surface. For genuine leather, apply a quality leather conditioner every 3 to 6 months to prevent drying and cracking — particularly important in centrally heated rooms. Avoid cleaning products containing alcohol or solvents, which strip the protective coating from leather and faux leather surfaces.

The mechanism should not be cleaned with liquid. Dust accessible mechanical components with a dry cloth or low-suction vacuum brush attachment. Keep any liquid well away from the motor housing, control box, and electrical connections — these are typically located beneath the seat platform. Lubrication of pivot points and drive components should only be done by a service engineer at the annual service visit — do not add lubricant between services.

Wipe the remote control fortnightly with a slightly damp cloth. For button crevices, a cotton bud dampened with isopropyl alcohol removes accumulated grease. Do not spray any liquid directly onto the remote or submerge it.
