THIS WEBPAGE PRESENTS INFORMATION ON HOW TO TREAT AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR CODEE PRODUCTS, SO THAT THEY CAN BE USED AND LOVED FOR A LONGER PERIOD.
FOR ENVIRONMENTAL, AS WELL AS MATERIAL REASONS, CODEE ENCOURAGES CLEANING WITHOUT CHEMICAL DETERGENTS WHEREVER POSSIBLE, FOR EXAMPLE BY USING A DUST CLOTH OR A SLIGHTLY DAMP CLOTH. FOR MORE SPECIFIC ADVICE FOR CARE OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS, SEE THE SECTIONS BELOW.
STAINLESS STEEL
KEEP STAINLESS STEEL CLEAN AND DRY. STAINLESS STEEL MAY BE PERMANENTLY STAINED IF WATER/FAT/CLEANING PRODUCTS ARE NOT REMOVED RELATIVELY QUICKLY. CLEAN THE SURFACE WITH A LINT-FREE CLEANING CLOTH ADDED WARM WATER AND A MILD DETERGENT.
DO NOT USE CHLORINE/ABRASIVE CLEANERS AS THIS MAY DAMAGE THE SURFACE. IF THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOLLOWED, THE STAINLESS-STEEL SURFACE REMAINS BEAUTIFUL FOR MANY YEARS.
GREASE STAINS
USE AN ALCOHOL CLEANER OR GLASS CLEANER TO REMOVE GREASE STAINS. THEN FOLLOW THE GUIDE FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE.
LIME STAINS
CLEAN THE SURFACE WITH WARM WATER AND A MILD DETERGENT. A LITTLE ELBOW GREASE GOES A LONG WAY TO REMOVE THE STAINS BUT AVOID USING CLOTHS OR SPONGES THAT MAY SCRATCH THE SURFACE. WIPE DOWN THE SURFACE AND SOAK IT IN VINEGAR/COVER IT WITH A VINEGAR-SOAKED PIECE OF PAPER TOWEL FOR 30-60 MINUTES. REMOVE THE VINEGAR RESIDUE WITH LUKEWARM TAP WATER.
STUBBORN STAINS AND RUST
STUBBORN STAINS AND RUST MAY BE REMOVED BY CAREFUL CLEANING WITH A LIGHT-ABRASIVE CLEANER SUITABLE FOR STAINLESS STEEL. CLEANING MUST FOLLOW THE STRUCTURE OF THE POLISHED SURFACE. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PROCESS CAN CHANGE THE ORIGINAL POLISHING OF THE SURFACE.
POWDER-COATED SURFACES
KEEP POWDER-COATED SURFACES CLEAN AND DRY.
LIGHT CLEANING OF SMOOTH AND ROUGH POWDER-COATED SURFACES
FOR LIGHT CLEANING OF E.G. GREASE STAINS, USE A LINT-FREE CLOTH OR A SOFT BRUSH WITH GLASS CLEANER. WIPE OFF WITH A LINT-FREE CLOTH. FOR HEAVIER CLEANING, USE A LINT-FREE CLOTH OR A SOFT BRUSH WITH WARM WATER AND A MILD DETERGENT. REMOVE RUBBER PARTS TO EASE THE CLEANING PROCESS.
LIME STAINS
FOR REMOVAL OF LIME STAINS, USE A LINT-FREE CLOTH OR A SOFT BRUSH WITH GLASS CLEANER. THEN SOAK THE SURFACE IN VINEGAR/COVER IT WITH A VINEGAR-SOAKED PIECE OF PAPER TOWEL FOR 30-60 MINUTES. FINISH BY RINSING WITH LUKEWARM WATER.
TEXTILE
UPHOLSTERY
WE RECOMMEND CARING FOR THE UPHOLSTERY OF YOUR CODEE FURNITURE TO ENSURE ITS LONG-LASTING APPEAL AND APPEARANCE. PLEASE FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES BELOW TO PRESERVE THE UPHOLSTERY’S NATURAL BEAUTY FOR MANY YEARS.
WOOL, COTTON, AND POLYESTER
- VACUUM CLEAN WITH LOW SUCTION USING A SOFT BRUSH TO PRESERVE THE FABRIC’S COLOUR AND APPEARANCE. ALWAYS BRUSH IN THE DIRECTION OF THE PILE AND NOT AGAINST IT.
- AVOID EXPOSING THE UPHOLSTERY TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT, EXTREME HEAT, OR SHARP OBJECTS.
- AVOID PULLING OR CUTTING LOOSE THREADS. PUSH THEM BACK INTO THE FABRIC WITH A NEEDLE.
- AVOID USING AIR FRESHENERS AS THIS CAN CAUSE A CHEMICAL REACTION ON THE FABRIC.
- USE A PIECE OF WHITE PAPER TOWEL TO DRY WET SPOTS. TAP GENTLY ON THE SPILL TO SOAK UP THE LIQUID RATHER THAN RUBBING THE AREA.
STAIN REMOVAL
USE LUKEWARM WATER ON A TERRY TOWEL, OPTIONALLY WITH A MILD NEUTRAL CLEANING AGENT ADDED. TEST ON A LESS VISIBLE SPOT BEFORE APPLYING A CLEANING AGENT TO THE ENTIRE SURFACE.
1. USE ONLY SMALL QUANTITIES OF CLEANING AGENT AT A TIME AND DRY UP WITH ABSORBENT PAPER.
2. AVOID RUBBING THE FABRIC OR THE STAIN.
NOTE THAT DENIM CAN GIVE OFF COLOUR ON A LIGHT FABRIC (BEIGE, SAND, WHITE ETC.). APPLY A PROFESSIONAL PROTECTOR AGENT BEFORE USE TO PREVENT COLOUR STAINS. VIPP IS NOT ACCOUNTABLE FOR CLAIMS CAUSED BY COLOURED FABRIC STAINS.
LEATHER
CODEE LEATHER UPHOLSTERY CONSISTS OF CAREFULLY SELECTED, HIGH QUALITY LEATHER. ANILINE LEATHER IS THE MOST NATURAL, SOFT, AND GRACEFULLY SUPPLE OF ALL LEATHER TYPES. ANILINE LEATHER IS UNTREATED AND UNPROTECTED ALLOWING NATURAL CHARACTERISTICS AND BEAUTY MARKS LIKE BITEMARKS, VEIN MARKS, NECK WRINKLES ETC. TO SHOW THROUGH. IT IS ALSO SUSCEPTIBLE FOR DIRT, WATERMARKS, AND DISCOLORATION. SEMI-ANILINE LEATHER HAS A THIN PROTECTIVE COATING, WHICH MAKES THE LEATHER LESS SUSCEPTIBLE FOR DIRT, WATERMARKS, AND DISCOLORATION. INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERISTICS ARE SIGNS THAT IT IS GENUINE LEATHER; JUST LIKE EACH PIECE OF NATURAL WOOD AND MARBLE HAS A UNIQUE VISUAL EXPRESSION, EACH PIECE OF LEATHER HAS ITS OWN DISTINCT LOOK. COLOR VARIANCE, NATURAL MARKS, AND OTHER UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LEATHER VARY WITH EACH PRODUCT.
WE RECOMMEND CARING FOR THE LEATHER OF YOUR CODEE FURNITURE TO ENSURE ITS LONG-LASTING APPEAL AND APPEARANCE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. A FEW SIMPLE TIPS WILL HELP PRESERVE THE LEATHER’S NATURAL BEAUTY FOR GENERATIONS.
LEATHER CARE
PROTECT YOUR CODEE LEATHER FURNITURE FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND ARTIFICIAL LIGHT AS IT CAN BLEACH AND DRY OUT THE LEATHER. REGULAR USE OF LEATHER CARE REDUCES THE EFFECT OF UV RADIATION.
FOR CLEANING AND CARE WE RECOMMEND USE OF PROFESSIONAL ANILINE LEATHER CARE PRODUCTS ONLY.
NEVER USE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS OR REGULAR CLEANING PRODUCTS AS IT CAN DAMAGE THE LEATHER. FOR DAILY CLEANING, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO VACUUM CLEAN YOUR CODEE FURNITURE CAREFULLY WITH A SOFT NOZZLE. ALTERNATIVELY WIPE THE FURNITURE CAREFULLY WITH A DRY OR POSSIBLY HARD WRUNG SOFT, CLEAN CLOTH.
LIQUID AND OTHER SPILLS ON THE LEATHER SHOULD BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT IT FROM PENETRATING THE SURFACE. CAREFULLY ABSORB THE LIQUID WITH PAPER TOWELS - AVOID SCRUBBING ON THE LEATHER. FINISH BY CLEANING THE LEATHER WITH A LEATHER CLEANING PRODUCT.
AVOID PLACING YOUR CODEE LEATHER FURNITURE TOO CLOSE TO RADIATORS AND OTHER HEAT SOURCES. THE DISTANCE SHOULD BE MIN. 30 CM, TO AVOID DRYING OUT THE LEATHER.
STRONGLY COLOURED MATERIALS SUCH AS JEANS, CUSHIONS, BLANKETS ETC. CAN DISCOLOUR THE LEATHER.
PETS, ZIPPERS, AND SHARP OBJECTS CAN DAMAGE THE SURFACE OF THE LEATHER. WE STRONGLY ADVICE TO AVOID THESE IN YOUR LEATHER FURNITURE.
