Frequently asked questions
What cleaning agents are safe to use on Malone?
Clean with clear warm water, a mild solution of liquid detergent and warm water, or isopropyl alcohol. For stubborn stains, a diluted bleach solution (10% bleach, 90% water) applied with a soft cloth and then rinsed is acceptable. Do not use solvent-based or concentrated abrasive cleaners, lacquer thinners, nail polish remover, or cleaners containing concentrated bleach, as these may cause discolouration.
How does the abrasion rating of Malone compare to standard commercial fabrics?
At 400,000+ double rubs by the Wyzenbeek method, Malone exceeds the heavy commercial threshold of 30,000 double rubs by a substantial margin, making it appropriate for the most demanding seating applications.
