Lacquer Coated Plastic

GENERAL INFORMATION

Plastic, or polymer, is the name given to a group of naturally occurring or synthetic materials shaped when soft and then hardened to retain their form. Fritz Hansen uses plastics of high aesthetic value and durability.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Never use abrasive cleaners including steel wool and polish. Instead, use a mild detergent and follow the packaging instructions.
Do not clean furniture with damaged surface lacquer as the water will penetrate and cause warping.
For daily cleaning, wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Stains and dirt can be removed using a solution of hot water and a universal cleaning product, soap flakes (one tablespoon to one litre of lukewarm water), washing detergent or a mild vinegar solution. Wick away excess water immediately and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
For deeper cleaning, wipe away dirt and debris. Wring a clean cloth in a solution of water and a universal cleaning detergent, adding a little detergent directly on the cloth before applying to the stain(s). For stubborn stains, apply detergent directly and let it sit for a minute or two before rinsing with clean water. To avoid water marks, wipe dry with a soft cloth.

CLEANING & STAIN REMOVAL

Remove stains and spills as quickly as possible, rinsing with clean water and drying with a soft cloth to avoid water marks.
