For regular care and maintenance, excessive dirt should be brushed from the fabric using a soft brush; the fabric should then be sprayed with warm water (not exceeding 100◦F / 40◦C) and air-dried. Periodically the fabric should undergo a more thorough cleaning. Again brush fabric with a soft bristled brush, spray with warm water then apply a gentle natural soap, rinse thoroughly and air-dry.
