Etta Nursing Chair & Footstool: Faux Fur Care and Setup

Quick answer

Set the Etta chair and footstool on a level floor with the footstool close enough to rest your feet, then keep the cream faux fur clean with regular light brushing and immediate spot cleaning using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the fabric, and check the base and fixings periodically.

Your Etta faux fur care and setup steps

1. Unpack and check the chair and footstool: Remove all packaging, check the chair, footstool, base and fixings for any transit damage, and keep the packaging until you are sure everything is present. Common mistake: assembling before checking parts, which makes it harder to report a missing or damaged item. Do the parts check before assembly, not after.
2. Assemble on a soft, level surface: Follow the assembly instructions supplied with the chair, and build it on a rug or cardboard to protect the faux fur and floor. Tighten fixings firmly but do not overtighten. Common mistake: assembling on a slope or on the bare floor, which can strain the frame and mark the base. Check the chair sits level and does not wobble before you use it.
3. Position the chair with rocking clearance: Place the chair on a level floor with clear space behind and in front for the wooden rocking base, away from walls, radiators and trailing cables. Common mistake: pushing the chair tight against a wall, which stops the gentle rocking movement and can rub the base. Leave enough room for the base to rock without touching anything.
4. Set the footstool at a comfortable distance: Place the footstool in front of the chair so your feet rest flat on it with your knees slightly lower than your hips. Move it closer if you have to stretch, and further away if your knees rise. Common mistake: leaving the footstool too far forward, which encourages you to perch on the edge of the seat. Adjust the footstool before each feed rather than after you sit down.
5. Do a daily fluff and crumb check: Brush the faux fur in one direction with a soft brush or your hand, and shake out the seat and footstool cushion to remove crumbs. Common mistake: rubbing the pile back and forth, which can make the cream faux fur look patchy. A quick daily brush keeps the pile looking even between deeper cleans.
6. Spot clean spills straight away: Blot, do not rub, any spill with a clean dry cloth, then wipe the area with a cloth wrung out in mild soapy water and blot dry. Common mistake: soaking the fabric or scrubbing at a milk drip, which can spread the stain and flatten the pile. If the mark remains after drying, check the care guidance before trying anything stronger.
7. Check fixings and base monthly: Every month, check that the chair and footstool fixings are still firm and that the wooden rocking base is clean and free of grit. Common mistake: ignoring a loose fixing or grit under the base, which can cause wobble or scratches. A monthly two-minute check is easier than a repair.
