Keeping Clean
Now…. on to the “cleaning” details!
In caring for your GENUS furniture, consider regular cleaning versus serious cleaning.
For regular cleaning, simply wash the product with soap and water. Just fill a bucket with a soap and warm water solution and wipe the GENUS furniture with a sponge. If there are smudges or marks on the product from regular use, they may take some scrubbing to disappear completely. If the wash cloth or sponge does not work, rub a soft bristle brush along the surface, and in creases and corners, to remove stubborn dirt particles and other debris. Complete the general cleaning process by rinsing the furniture with a hose until no soap residue if left. Some colors, such as white or light hues, may take a little extra attention to wipe clean.
For serious cleaning, fill a bucket with 1/3 bleach and 2/3 water solution. Rub the area of concern with a sponge, reapplying the cleaning solution as necessary. Complete with the thorough rinse of the hose to remove any residual bleach.
Tips and warnings to consider when cleaning your GENUS furniture.
