Rubbing the area carefully with fine sandpaper usually can repair surface damage and minor cigarette burns Cleaning Removable Covers Machine wash separately using the cool or warm water setting on the delicate cycle Use mild detergent without pouring it directly onto the material and no bleach Spin and tumble dry on a low setting or spin and hang to dry in a shady area Do not twist or wring NOVASUEDE covers also can be professionally dry cleaned using a clean perchloroethylene solvent and these settings short cycle tumble dry warm steam followed by brushing to restore nap A wet extraction process available through most professional cleaning services is recommended to clean widespread dirt or for an overall cleaning of upholstered pieces Although NOVASUEDE is spill resistant supplementary treatments such as Scotchgard can be used for further protection Test a sample to ensure that the texture or color of the material will not be affected Restoring the Nap After cleaning it is important to restore the nap by lightly brushing with a soft bristle brush after the NOVASUEDE is completely dry Regular routine vacuuming immediate attention to accidental spills and occasional brushing generally are all that is required to maintain the luxurious feel and appearance of NOVASUEDE Page 49 of 88 SUEDE STAIN REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS 1 Remove as much of the stain as possible before applying cleaners F
6. initially How Buffing Dust is Created One of the final steps in manufacturing NOVASUEDE is buffing its surface to achieve uniform fiber and nap length with a very fine abrasive which generates very tiny dust particles that are difficult to distinguish as individual particles NOVASUEDE dust on clothing may look like a dye bleed After buffing the dust is vacuumed out of the NOVASUEDE but sporadically some dust can remain in a few yards within a bolt Most furniture manufacturers simply blow off the dust with a stream of dry compressed air from an air hose at the final inspection just before wrapping for shipment This also cleans off sawdust metal shavings or other types of airborne dust Most of the dust on clothing can be removed with masking tape a lint brush or washed and rinsed with cold water Infrequently an end user will think the fabric s color is bleeding Regular vacuuming and occasional light brushing with a soft bristle lint brush similar to a Magik or Miracle brush is recommended for normal maintenance of NOVASUEDE regardless of buffing dust Airborne dirt dust household sprays and air pollution can settle on the suede during use NOVASUEDE furniture also should be periodically dusted by vacuuming Dirt can act as an abrasive shortening the life of any fabric Page 55 of 88 Foreign material may cause the nylon microfibers in NOVASUEDE to cling together reducing the tracking effect of the
7. method using the foam tricot backing as described in the MARINE APPLICATIONS section For a padded look without foam tricot backing the panel should be upholstered using techniques discussed in the UPHOLSTERY section The foam padding is glued to the panel and covered with a Dacron or other appropriate batting Not Recommended e Gluing the NYTEK directly to the foam may cause spots to appear where the adhesive coverage is low resulting in areas where the foam to NYTEK bond is low These low bond areas may bubble in high humidity e Using too much adhesive will saturate the foam and result in thumb printing where the foam takes a permanent set after compression e Upholstering over foam alone is also not recommended The cover will not sufficiently compress the foam especially in the center of a large panel Batting however is compressed by the stretching of the cover during upholstering and will push back the cover to help keep it tight and smooth Page 37 of 88 The NYTEK cover must be stretched tightly and evenly over the panel before stapling in the back especially with large panels Ideally the NYTEK should be steamed or misted on the back making it easier to stretch After upholstering the NYTEK will contract and tighten with less humidity in the panel Foam tricot backing can be used to help stabilize NYTEK for applications where padding will not push the cover Knit backed NYTEK is an alternative NYTEK
8. without backing is not as stable in humid conditions as the backed materials but has been stretched over open panels Stretching the NYTEK is extremely critical in these applications since the cover will not be pushed out and kept smooth by battings and foams The NYTEK should be steamed or misted lightly on the back and then stretched evenly as much as possible in both directions to avoid wrinkles The cross machine direction generally has more stretch than the machine direction Attach the NYTEK securely after stretching remembering that it will contract and get very tight in a dry environment If the clips in the panel are inadequate the tension produced by this contraction could pull the NYTEK out of the clip or track Stretching the NYTEK in a humid environment will help it remain tight in these conditions Page 38 of 88 MARINE LINER INSTALLATION GUIDELINES NOVASUEDE and FINESSE are made of NYTEK a specially engineered nylon fiber matrix These luxurious materials are very much like natural leather not just in the way they look and feel but in the way they react to atmospheric conditions NYTEK like leather will expand and contract slightly with changes in moisture content although it will not retain much water It regulates absorbed moisture so that it never holds more than 8 to 10 percent of its own weight NYTEK products with a Majilite foam tricot knit package are more dimensionally stable to

42. OVASUEDE and FINESSE are made of NYTEK a specially engineered nylon microfiber matrix These luxurious materials are very much like natural leather not just in the way they look and feel but in the way they react to atmospheric conditions NYTEK like leather will expand and contract slightly with changes in moisture content although it will not retain much water It regulates absorbed moisture in such a way that it never holds more than 8 to 10 percent of its own weight To avoid sagging problems we recommend installation by direct cement method NYTEK materials should be adhered to solid continuous surfaces that have been properly prepared according to the manufacturer s instructions for the adhesive being used The adhesive should be a contact solvent type that is recommended for the material to which it will be applied i e aluminum etc e Apply the adhesive by spray gun to both the NYTEK and the panel Spray a light to moderate coat in each direction e Allow the solvent to evaporate and recoat each piece Apply enough coats to assure complete coverage of both the NYTEK and the panel e Laminate the NYTEK to the panel within the recommended open time as specified by the adhesive manufacturer e Roll or press the fabric by roll or other convenient means to assure good contact between the two surfaces e lt is important that both the NYTEK and the material to which it is being adhered are thoroughly covered by
43. Stretch e Stretch in the width direction is greater and easier to manipulate than stretch in the length e Stretch is not uniform with all colors and is greater with lighter colors than with darker ones with less dye penetration Grain and Nap e Please consider the direction of the design when cutting patterns such as with NYTEK Products like MOCCASIN BABY OSTRICH CANE etc e The nap of NOVASUEDE is a non directional design Time and Process Requirements e Calculate the same sewing time allowances as needed for natural leather or a fabric pattern match Although NYTEK is easier to work with than natural leather operators may need time to develop the techniques to work as quickly as they do with other upholstery fabrics of a similar grade Page 4 of 88 Static Electricity e NYTEK Products easily generate static electricity which is an early warning indicator of dry conditions in the shop Increasing the humidity levels should help control this Orienting Patterns Properly e When sewing cut pieces together orient the patterns on the roll to accommodate the stretch in relation to the design e Clearly mark the optimal orientation on the patterns and follow it consistently Page 5 of 88 ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS THE NYTEK ADVANTAGE Emulating leather from their appearance to their cell structure NYTEK products work like leather but are much thinner more durable and as soft as the finest kid glove leather Natural l
