Care and Maintenance
Worksurface and Panels:
Plastic Laminates, Melamine & Metal Surfaces
To clean the surface, use a damp cloth or sponge and a mild soap or detergent. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and wipe dry. If a stain persists, use a paste of baking soda and water and apply with a soft brush.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleansers. More stubborn dirt may be removed with the careful application of a lacquer thinner. Please observe all safety warnings and follow application instructions supplied with the specific cleaner.
Hot pans and heat-producing appliances (such as electric skillets), when set directly upon countertops, can mar the product’s beauty. Always use a heat shield, hot pad or trivet.
WARNING: Prolonged exposure of the laminate surface to bleach will cause discoloration.
Wood Finishes
Wood finishes can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a mild cleaning solution. Abrasive cleaners should never be used. The use of harsh or abrasive cleansers will void our warranty. The BluPuffin wood finishes, like all wood finishes, can be light sensitive, therefore care should be taken to avoid placing your chairs in areas exposed to intense natural light. There are variations common to all wood species, so the color and grain characteristics of our finish samples may not exactly match the finish of the furniture you receive from us.
Inspection
Very Important – Customers should make inspections no less than every six months to look for damage or signs of structural fatigue incurred in daily handling, use and abuse. Your examination should include welds, machine screw assemblies and tightness of joints. If you discover problems that could compromise the structural safety of a chair, table or other product, you should immediately remove it from service and BluPuffin should be notified.
