3.2 WALLCOVERING GENERAL CLEANING •Remove ordinary dirt and smudges with a mild soap and warm water solution. •Rinse with clean, clear water and dry with a soft, lint free cloth or towel. •Use only soft bristle brushes. •Treat damp spots and stains promptly to make clean up as easy as possible. •Blot wet spills with an absorbent cloth or polyester sponge. •Work from the outside to the center of the stain when using cleaning solvents. •Blot the stain with a clean sponge or absorbent cloth. •If a crusty stain has developed, tap the spot to break up the incrustation in order to remove as much as possible prior to cleaning solvents. •Chewing gum, candle wax or similar waxy substances may be removed by rubbing the spot quickly with ice so that the material becomes brittle and then blot dry. The brittle substance can then be picked off the wall covering. Follow with a cleaning solvent, if necessary. Contact each manufacturer for a specific list of solvents to be used for tough stains.

3.2 WALLCOVERING Location: Managers Offices | F&I Conference Room Content: 63% Polyolefin, 37% Post-Consumer Recycled Polyester Finish: PFOA-Free Stain Resistant Backing: Acrylic Maintenance: W/S/B-Clean with water-based cleanser; mild, water-free dry cleaning solvent, or diluted household bleach.

Regular Maintenance Vacuum regularly using the proper attachment to avoid pilling. General Recommendations Treat stains promptly. The longer a stain remains on the textile, the more difficult it will be to remove. A professional furniture cleaning service is recommended. Always pre-test any cleaning method in an inconspicuous area. Several light applications of a cleaning agent are less harmful than a single concentrated application. Repeat stain treatment several times if necessary. Never use heat to clean textiles. Heat can set stains. Do not over saturate the textile or let water pool in seams.

3.2 WALLCOVERING Stain Treatment Soak up any excess moisture immediately. For water-based stains, use a clean, soft, white cloth, a natural sponge, or a nylon soft-bristle brush with lukewarm, soapy water. Brush the stain with light, quick strokes. Avoid a scrubbing motion and work from the edge of the stain toward the center. For oil-based stains, use a clean, soft, white cloth, a natural sponge, or nylon, soft-bristle brush with a water-free dry cleaning solvent. Brush the stain with light, quick strokes. Avoid a scrubbing motion. Work from the edge of the stain toward the center. For tougher oil-based stains, confirm the construction of your textile is bleach cleanable. If so, and additional stain treatment is needed, use a 10% solution of diluted household bleach. Thoroughly rinse with cool, clean water and completely remove all cleaning residue. For insoluble stains (e.g. chewing gum, candle wax, etc.), use a plastic bag filled with ice to rub the stain until the substance becomes brittle. Use a clean, dull, flat knife to gently remove the substance. If the stain persists, blot the area with a clean, soft, white cloth or natural sponge and lukewarm soapy water.

If the stain persists, gently dab a pH-neutral cleanser, upholstery spot cleaner, or an equal mixture of water and enzyme detergent (e.g. laundry detergent) on the stain and let it sit for one minute. Rinse stain treatment thoroughly with a natural sponge moistened slightly with cool, clean water and completely remove all cleaning solution residue as left over residue can attract soil over time. Extra care should be taken when cleaning dark colors to avoid creating light marks that can be caused by color transfer. Avoid excess rubbing to prevent discoloration and damage to the face of the material. Do not saturate the surface. Allow the textile to dry thoroughly and vacuum before using. Always pre-test in an inconspicuous area before cleaning. After cleaning, rinse repeatedly with cool, clean water to ensure complete removal of all cleaning solution residue. Left over residue can discolor over time.

3.2 WALLCOVERING Location: General | Walls Showroom | Accent Material: Vinyl Backing: Osnaburg This type of wallcovering is protected with water-based coating. The coating not only aids in the stain resistance and cleanability of the wallcovering, it does so in an environmentally safe manner. Stains should be removed as quickly as possible to eliminate any possible reaction between the staining agent and the wallcovering. (Not as critical with products coated with Teflon® film.) Time is especially important for removing materials containing colors or solvents such as ball point ink, nail polish, lipstick, oil shampoo tints, paint, lacquer or enamel and some foods. PRECAUTIONS: Excess soiling materials such as chewing gum, asphalt, crayon, paint, nail polish or tar should be carefully scraped off prior to other cleaning attempts. CLEANING: The normal cleaning of the wallcoverings should be done with mild ingredients such as soap, detergent and water. If stained and stronger cleaning is required, a liquid household cleaner should be used. Liquid cleaners should be of low VOC content and non-abrasive.

Metallic finishes can be discolored with the use of caustic cleaners. Thus, we recommend only the use of a mild soap solution for cleaning these products. If stronger cleaning is required, first evaluate the cleaner in an inconspicuous location. The method of cleaning should be to use a natural sponge and mild soap solution. A natural sponge’s construction does the best job of removing dirt from the textured surface. With difficult to remove deposits, the use of a soft bristle brush is recommended. Then, rinse thoroughly with clean clear water, changing the water often to insure it remains clean and clear. After cleaning an area, be sure to dry with an absorbent cloth so it can be examined to assure complete cleaning. Repeated use of stronger cleaners will extract plasticizer from vinyl wallcoverings causing the wallcovering to lose its suppleness. Never mix cleaning agents together. Violent reactions may occur which could result in serious injury. Observe all label precautions when using these and any cleaning agents.

•Remove stains as soon as possible. The faster it’s gone, the less chance the stain has to chemically react with the wallcovering. The longer it’s on, the more chance the stain has to discolor the wallcovering permanently. •Mild soap and water can remove ordinary dirt spots. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Blot dry with a soft lint-free towel. •Stronger detergent can remove difficult stains that are surface deep-but try an inconspicuous spot first, before attempting the whole wall. Always rinse after applying any detergent. Do not rub spots abrasively. •Do not use steel wool, powdered cleaners, or active solvent-type preparations (nail polish remover, tar and bug removers, etc.). This will very likely damage the wallcovering. •Textile wallcoverings are an exception: like any textile, they require special care and you should follow the manufacturer’s advice. Vacuum occasionally to remove dirt and lint. We recommend reading manufacturer’s guidelines before you start cleaning.
