Maintaining the chenille fabric on your IKEA Esseboda Bench with Storage ensures its longevity and beauty. Here's a guide based on the provided care instructions:

For general cleaning:

• Dust Removal: Use a lint remover to keep the fabric free of dust.
• Removing Marks: Gently stroke the fabric in the direction of the pile or use a soft clothes brush. You can also use a vacuum cleaner with a soft nozzle.
• Light Stains: Remove with a sponge dampened in water or a mild soapy solution.
• Drying: Dry wet marks immediately to prevent moisture damage.
• Restoring Fabric: Use a steamer to restore the fabric or the steam function on an iron, avoiding direct contact.

Ironing Instructions:

• Removable Covers: Iron the chenille cover on the reverse side at a low temperature (110°C) before its first use. Avoid ironing the pile side.

Care Instructions:

• Fixed Covers: Do not wash, bleach, tumble dry, dry clean, or iron.
• Removable Covers: Machine wash at a maximum of 30°C on a normal cycle. Wash separately. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Steam iron is recommended. Professional dry cleaning in tetrachloroethene and hydrocarbons is suitable. Use a steam iron on the face side, and iron the reverse side at a low temperature (110°C).

Always consult the specific care instructions on your Esseboda Bench with Storage for the most accurate guidance, as variations may exist.
