Basic Cleaning for Frame:

• The frame on your Fern can take most cleaning products just avoid harsh chemicals.

Basic Cleaning for Fabric:

• Use warm water mixed with a light, bleach-free detergent.
• Rinse the fabric thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
• Allow the headrest to dry completely before using it again.

Other Cleaning Notes:

• Use cold water and a very light detergent.
• Avoid soaking the cushion; be conservative when applying water.
• For odors and stains, sprinkle baking soda on the affected area, letting it sit before vacuuming.
• Always test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous spot first.
• For textile cleaning, Herman Miller recommends K2R cleaner; please read the complete instructions before use.
• To prevent rings from forming, spot clean and dab rather than rub or scrub, as this can propagate the stain.
• Avoid scrubbing to minimize fabric stretching.

Routine Care:

• Use an upholstery brush to vacuum the headrest regularly to remove dust and debris.
• Avoid rotary brushes or scrubbing, as they can damage the fabric.

Spot Cleaning:

• For Immediate Stains: Blot the stain with a soft, absorbent cloth right away.
• Avoid Rubbing: Do not rub the stain or let it dry. Hot water can set the stain, so use cool water instead.

For Mild Water-Based Spills:

• Use a water-based fabric cleaner or a mixture of mild soap and water on a clean cloth.
• Gently work the solution into the fabric without scrubbing.
• Apply lightly and avoid soaking the fabric.

For Oil Stains:

• Use a mild dry-cleaning solution, testing it on a small hidden area first to check for damage.
• Dampen a cloth with the cleaner and gently blot the stain, working from the outside in.

Additional Cleaning Notes:

• Never soak the headrest fabric with water or cleaning solutions.
• Scrubbing can cause fabric damage.
• Absorb any leftover cleaning solutions with a dry cloth, and follow up with a wipe using a cool, damp cloth to remove residue.
• Ensure the headrest is completely dry before use and vacuum it thoroughly once dry.
