Embody Headrest Cleaning Instructions

Keeping your Atlas Embody Headrest clean is a great way to maintain both its appearance and longevity. While heavy-duty cleaning is rarely needed, following the steps below will help you care for your headrest’s materials properly and avoid unnecessary wear.

Frame & Back Plastic Care

  • The plastic surfaces can be wiped clean with most gentle, household cleaners.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives that could damage the finish.

Fabric Care

General Cleaning
  • Use warm water and a mild, bleach-free detergent.
  • Lightly dampen a clean cloth and gently wipe the fabric.
  • Avoid soaking the cushion or applying excess water.
  • Rinse with a clean damp cloth and let dry fully before using.
Routine Maintenance
  • Vacuum regularly using a soft upholstery brush attachment (avoid rotary brushes or other attachments that could snag the material).
  • Gently brush away dust and debris to preserve the fabric texture.
Spot Cleaning:
  • Water-Based Spills: Blot immediately with a soft cloth. Use a mild soap-and-water mix or a water-based cleaner. Do not scrub—dab gently.
  • Oil-Based Stains: Use a mild dry-cleaning solution. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Odors or Surface Stains: Sprinkle baking soda, let it sit, then vacuum thoroughly.

Cleaning Tips

  • Never soak the fabric or use hot water.
  • Scrubbing or rubbing can cause damage or spread stains.
  • For textile cleaning, Herman Miller recommends K2R cleaner—follow all product instructions carefully.
  • Use Green Seal Certified cleaners with low fragrance and dye content when possible.
  • Always test any cleaning product on a hidden area first.

How Often Should You Clean?

Clean as needed—less is more. Regular light maintenance like vacuuming or wiping with a microfiber cloth is usually enough to keep your headrest in great condition without stressing the materials.
