FAQ

How do I disinfect the products in accordance with COVID-19 regulations?

Both ethyl and denatured alcohol can be used to disinfect the products, both approved as hydroalcoholic solutions required to prevent the spread of COVID-19. If you would rather use other disinfecting solutions, we recommend trying them somewhere not visible (i.e. under the table top) and avoiding prolonged contact with the product, to verify whether they can damage the materials.

The product should be cleaned before being disinfected in order to remove any residue of dirt that could jeopardize the efficacy of the operation.

How do I clean Textilene?

EMU – Tex is a technical fabric for outdoor use made of polyvinylchloride. It is extremely robust and is guaranteed a long life:

maximum resistance to ultraviolet rays, humidity and sharp temperature changes and is weatherproof.

Maintenance: Avoid prolonged contact with greasy substances and/or colourants, which could not only be absorbed by the covers and leave permanent stains, but also destroy the fabric. Frequent washes: use water and liquid, non-abrasive, colourless detergents with a neutral pH. Leave the detergent to act for a few minutes, if necessary. Rinse with plenty of water at a temperature of no more than 30°C. If you use a pressurised device, hold the nozzle at least 60/70 cm from the product surface. Repeat the operation, if necessary. Regular and/or extraordinary washes: use a stain remover restorer for PVC, as follows.

Proceed as follows:

– apply the stain remover on the dirty canvas;

– leave the product for 15-30 minutes;

– rub the stained areas with an ordinary hard bristle wash brush (this needs to be done, as the dirt penetrates the fabric).

– rinse in running water (if possible rinse with a pressure washer from a distance of approximately 60 cm so as not to damage the canvas under high pressure);

– repeat the operation, if necessary.

N.B.: when you apply the product, take care not to apply it on the painted parts of the product.

Do you offer a product assembly service?

Yes, our authorised retailers offer a product assembly service on request. Please contact your local retailer.
