Their cleaning will depend, above all, on the upholstery material from which they are made. Step one is to differentiate whether it is a natural or synthetic fabric.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12331\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fiaka.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/barcas-beach-2013.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"566\" height=\"377\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2>Natural fabric upholstered chairs<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>It is more common for chairs to be upholstered with synthetic materials due to their <strong>greater resistance<\/strong>. However, your restaurant may have opted for natural or eco-friendly materials. In this case, cleaning is a delicate matter. You should inform yourself in advance of their correct maintenance to avoid any surprises.<\/li>\n<li>For example, if your chair has a linen cover, you can dry clean, machine wash or hand wash it. However, make sure that the covers are <strong>removable<\/strong> and keep in mind that it is a material that shrinks. It is essential that the washing is done in cold water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fiaka.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/1bd75db9b46c89e7380aa085bc7ed6e0.jpg\" alt=\"Chair with linen cover\" width=\"404\" height=\"600\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>As for the <strong>leather upholstery<\/strong>, in the case of a spill of a drink or a stain, you must act immediately by wiping with a cloth with water and neutral soap. Dry cleaning is recommended. Never apply water directly or rub sharply, you may damage the material. Remember that this is a<strong> natural material<\/strong> and that any chemical product such as bleach or ammonia can damage it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12332\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fiaka.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/4dc2d6d2cd709b0273aeff97fc434a07-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"406\" height=\"600\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2>Synthetic fabric upholstered chairs<\/h2>\n<h3>Leatherette Chair<\/h3>\n<p>In Fiaka we work with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiaka.es\/en\/professionals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><br \/>\n  <strong>hotel and restaurant furniture<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/a> and we know that these are sectors where these furniture suffer a special deterioration due to the use they are given. A restaurant receives many diners every day and the chair changes ownership on an hourly basis.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, we always recommend furniture upholstered in a <strong>Contract Fabric<\/strong> (such as Polipiel N\u00e1utica Contract Plus, Filtech, Silvertex or Valencia) for its easy maintenance and cleaning. A chair upholstered in synthetic leatherette can be cleaned with a damp, slightly soapy cloth. Rinse with clean water. Never use chemical solvents or polish sprays if you want your chair to last a long time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fiaka.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/106da5184d4080f5068d16c0b215683e.jpg\" alt=\"Leatherette Restaurant Chair\" width=\"462\" height=\"600\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>Remember that it is a flame retardant and water resistant fabric and with a little maintenance it will look like new.
