13.2.2 Marine upholstery

The materials are designed for marine use and the surface is UV-protected, but long-term exposure to UV-radiation will fade the colours and shorten the service life of the materials. 

Avoid storing cushions in direct sunlight for extended periods of time.

Although the open cell plastic foam inside the cushions is protected with plastic, fungal growth may form on the inner surface of plastic foam and artificial leather. 

• Do not store the cushions so that they are exposed to constant humidity.

• Do not let the cushions become waterlogged.

Avoid transporting, storage or use in temperatures under -20°C, as the surface of the material may rip.

To clean the upholstery:

• Wipe the upholstery with a damp cloth moistened with a neutral washing liquid; for example, dishwashing liquids or window-cleaning products diluted with water.

• It is a good idea to dry the cushions after washing.

• Remove more persistent dirt and stains by dissolving them with undiluted neutral washing detergent. Rinse and dry them afterwards.

Avoid the following:

• Solvents and petrol.

• Grease and motor oil.

• Abrasive cleaning equipment and scouring agents.

• Strong alkaline and acid cleaning products.

• Sharp and hot objects.

• Colouring liquids.

• Protective or conserving agents not intended for artificial leather.
