AI Summary
- Start with gentle, low-suction dust removal and test any mild cleaner in an inconspicuous place.
- Avoid soaking, hard scrubbing, hot air and strong solvents; Sihoo’s own general mesh-care guide warns against fibre distortion.
- A recurring smell needs an assessment of where moisture has entered, not a promise that a spray is harmless.
Decision table
| Situation | Practical choice |
|---|---|
| Surface dust | Use a low-suction vacuum with care. |
| Sweat mark or odour | Spot-test according to the care instructions and allow full drying. |
What to do
The S300 listing describes its mesh materials, but model-specific cleaning limits should come from the care label or Sihoo support for the purchased version. Photograph the mark before treatment. Work from the manufacturer’s gentler mesh guidance, keeping liquid away from the mechanism. We found no controlled test showing that a particular deodorising chemical leaves the S300 mesh elasticity unchanged. Source 1
A cautious mesh-cleaning sequence
SIHOO's general mesh-care guide advises a brush attachment at low suction, a lightly dampened cloth, minimal pressure and complete air drying away from heat. This is generic mesh guidance from the brand's German site, not an S300-specific material test. Ask SIHOO to confirm the care code or instructions for your UK S300 before using any cleaning solution, especially on the velvet-like surface.
Remove loose dust first. Spot-test an inconspicuous area and wait until it is completely dry before treating a larger mark. Keep liquid away from the mechanism and do not scrub or soak the mesh. If an odour persists after drying, ask support how to inspect the affected component. Neither the product listing nor the general care article establishes that a deodorising spray preserves the S300 mesh's elasticity.
