Frequently asked questions
How is GALILEO cleaned?
Use a cloth dampened with clear warm water first, then if needed a mild detergent solution, then isopropyl alcohol in order of preference. Remove detergent residue with a clean damp cloth and pat dry. For difficult stains, apply a 10:1 water-to-bleach solution, rinse with a damp cloth, and pat dry. Do not use solvent-based cleaners, lacquer thinners, or nail polish remover. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Is GALILEO a vinyl or polyurethane fabric?
GALILEO is 100% polyurethane on a polyester backing, not vinyl. Polyurethane upholstery fabrics offer a soft hand feel and are free of PVC, making them a common choice where a leather-like aesthetic is desired alongside commercial durability.
What abrasion performance does GALILEO offer?
GALILEO exceeds 165,000 double rubs on the Wyzenbeek test, placing it in the heavy-duty category suitable for high-traffic commercial seating applications.
