MAINTENANCE

Cleaning Crypton® Crepe is as basic as Wipe, Wash and Rinse.

Spills: Use a powdered enzyme detergent like Tide® or Cheer® mixed with water.  Use a soft towel or brush to clean the upholstery with soap  solution. Remove all soap with clear, clean water.

 

Ink, Markers, Crayon: Use a strong water based cleaner.  Some ink pens cause permanent stains. For ballpoint ink, the best spotting agents are rust removers.

 

Chewing Gum: Harden with ice.  Carefully remove hardened substance with dull scraper, then use the powdered enzyme detergent process.

 

Grease and Tar: Use oil and grease removers and quickly wipe off.

 

Reminder: The faster that any problem is taken care of, the more effective cleaning results will be.  Besides quickly taking care of spills, upholstery should be cleaned every three to four months (particularly in high use areas) to avoid soiling.
