staynu Technology. Designed for Life.

Cleaning Made Easy

For light soiling, such as from foodstuffs, we recommend regular cleaning with mild soap or skai^® cleaners and a microfiber cloth. Stubborn stains can be removed without leaving a mark if immediately treated with isopropanol or white spirit. You do not need to treat the surface with special care products; it is essential to avoid scouring or bleaching agents. As always, please test on a hidden location first.

Makes Surfaces More Dirt-resistant and Durable Than Ever Before

If it still looks new after years of intensive use, it's staynu. This revolutionary technology makes Continental upholstery fabrics particularly dirt-resistant and hard-wearing. staynu is the new, invisible, pleasant-to-the-touch, soft protective coating for numerous skai^® interior fabrics. Perfect for real life.

Innovation With High Dirt Resistance and Ease of Cleaning

Thanks to the innovative, especially-resistant surface finish from staynu technology, regular maintenance of heavily frequented surfaces is easier than ever. A special coating seals the surface so that dirt particles rarely stick to it or – if they do – cannot penetrate deep into the coating. Even intentional damage is no reason to re-purchase or even replace the furniture. Amongst other things, suitable cleaning agents can be used to remove this soiling without leaving a mark:

Permanent markers, ballpoint pens, gel pens
Foods such as ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise
Drinks such as fruit juices, cola, coffee, red wine
Cosmetics such as lipstick, makeup
Dye that comes off jeans and even shoe cream

Thanks to the special surface finish, skai^® fabrics with staynu technology do not gradually fade when continuously exposed to light – the surface is light-resistant.

Durable Upholstered Surfaces Thanks to staynu Technology

The innovative staynu technology is gradually becoming available for other skai® products. It celebrated its premiere with the synthetic upholstery fabric skai^® Toronto EN with a fine leather grain. It is now also available with the new product skai® Tovega EN, which has a fine microporous structure. Both materials have been specially developed for public areas where furniture is exposed to high frequency and stress. Because the staynu technology makes the surfaces particularly easy to clean and resistant to dirt, tears, scratches and abrasion, skai® Toronto EN and skai® Tovega EN are also suitable wherever a neat ambience with the simplest cleaning is required. Typical uses for both premium products therefore include seats such as benches, stools, chairs, sofas, headboards, couches, fitness equipment and much more. Thanks to the staynu technology, skai® Toronto EN and skai® Tovega EN also play to their strengths in the demanding healthcare sector, as well as in the catering and hotel sectors and the cruise ship industry:

Hospitality (Hotel, Restaurants, Fastfood, cruises etc.)
Public Area (Office, Theater, cinemas, sports arenas, etc.)
Healthcare (nursing homes, hospitals, physiotherapy areas etc.)
Mobility, e.g. caravans

Durable, Cost-effective and Ecological

As the surface is so easy to clean thanks to staynu technology, there is less wear on the fabric during cleaning. This significantly extends the service life and improves cost-effectiveness. Disinfecting agents also do not harm the surface. Production and surface finishing take place in Germany on machines specially developed for this purpose. During production, Continental aims to be as sustainable as possible:

Use of an alternative, phthalate-free plasticizer
Solvent-free, low-emission finishing
Energy-efficient production - Systematic waste prevention
Durability of the fabric
Use of a recycled polyester backing
