Frame Cleaning

  1. The plastic frame can be cleaned with most common household products.
  2. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to prevent surface damage.

Mesh Fabric Care

Regular Maintenance
  • Vacuum frequently, using a soft brush attachment.
  • Avoid rotary brushes or rough scrubbing, which can damage the mesh.
Spot Cleaning
  • Act Quickly: Blot fresh stains right away—don’t let them dry!
  • Water-Based Stains (e.g., coffee, juice, soda):
    • Use a water-based fabric cleaner or lightly soapy water.
    • Apply with a damp cloth or sponge; gently work into the fabric.
    • Never use hot water as it may set the stain.
  • Oil-Based Stains (e.g., common styling products, lotion, food grease):
    • Use a dry-cleaning solution on a clean cloth.
    • Test on a hidden area first to avoid discoloration.
    • Blot gently from the outside in.
Aftercare
  • Avoid over-wetting the mesh.
  • Use multiple light applications instead of one heavy treatment.
  • Dab dry with a clean cloth, then wipe with a damp cloth to remove any residue.
  • Allow the fabric to dry fully, then vacuum again before use.
For stubborn or large stains, contact a professional upholstery cleaner to avoid potential fabric damage.

Frame Cleaning

  • The plastic frame can be cleaned with most common household products.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to prevent surface damage.

Fabric Cleaning

General Cleaning
  • Mix warm water with a light, bleach-free detergent.
  • Dampen a clean cloth with the solution and gently wipe the fabric.
  • Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove soap residue.
  • Allow the headrest to air dry completely before use.
Routine Maintenance:
  • Vacuum the fabric using a soft upholstery brush (avoid rotary brushes or other attachments that could snag the material).
  • This helps remove dust, dirt, and debris while preserving fabric integrity.
Spot Cleaning:
  • Immediate Action: Blot stains immediately with a soft, absorbent cloth—don’t rub.
  • Water-Based Spills: Use a fabric-safe water-based cleaner or mild soap solution. Lightly dab and avoid over-wetting.
  • Oil-Based Stains: Use a mild dry-cleaning solvent. Test in an inconspicuous spot before applying.
Additional Tips:
  • Use cold water and minimal detergent.
  • Avoid saturating the cushion.
  • Sprinkle baking soda to absorb odors before vacuuming.
  • To avoid water rings, dab instead of scrubbing.
Recommended: K2R cleaner but be sure to read full instructions before use.
  • Use water-based fabric cleaners or a mild soap solution with minimal dyes/fragrances.
  • Look for Green Seal Certified products for effective, eco-friendly results.
  • For textiles, K2R cleaner is recommended by Herman Miller. Always read product instructions before use.

How Often Should I Clean My Aeron Headrest?

Cleaning frequency depends on your environment and use. In general:

  • Light, regular maintenance (like dusting with a microfiber cloth) is ideal.
  • Spot clean only when necessary.
  • Over-cleaning may lead to unnecessary wear—less is more when it comes to long-term care.
