To maintain your manual recliner from ARV Furniture and ensure it remains in top condition, follow these tips:
Regular Cleaning:
Fabric Upholstery: Vacuum regularly using an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris.
Leather/Leatherette Upholstery: Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh cleaners that can damage the material.
Glossy or Wooden Finishes: Use a microfiber cloth to dust off the surface, and apply a wood polish or furniture wax occasionally for extra shine and protection.
Check and Tighten Bolts and Screws:
Over time, screws and bolts can loosen with use. Regularly check and tighten any visible fasteners to keep the recliner sturdy.
Lubricate Moving Parts:
The reclining mechanism may start to squeak or become stiff over time. Use a silicone-based lubricant to oil the moving parts at least once a year, focusing on the joints and springs.
Avoid Overloading:
Avoid sitting on the footrest or placing too much pressure on the reclining mechanism. This can strain the recliner’s structure and reduce its lifespan.
Handle the Recliner Gently:
When reclining or adjusting, avoid using excessive force on the lever or pushing back too abruptly. This helps prevent damage to the mechanical components.
Positioning:
Keep the recliner away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can fade the upholstery. Also, ensure the recliner has enough clearance behind it to fully extend without hitting walls.
Upholstery Care:
Treat spills immediately for fabric to avoid staining. Blot with a clean cloth and mild detergent. For leather, condition the material every few months to prevent cracks and drying.
By following these tips, your manual recliner from ARV Furniture will stay comfortable and durable for years to come.
