We machine-wash the cushions using regular detergent and let them air-dry overnight. According to the company, the five-point harness and buckles can also be wiped down with mild soap and warm water. Occasionally, we use an old toothbrush to deep clean the buckles to make sure that they’re free of any sticky residue and able to function properly.
And overall, I think, as Kathy said, for the year, we expect that price costs were going to be in good shape. We’re seeing the same cost pressures that everyone else is. They’re coming everywhere, steel, aluminum, copper, plastics, those are key components in Graco products. And some of the components that we buy also like electronics and motors and engines and even like subcontract premiums that we pay to folks that help us out when our demand spikes up, those are all much higher. It’s hard to say that there is none of that happening in terms of people ordering in advance and trying to get ahead of the curve.

I guess, the only thing I would add is, our business model is — as all of you know, is a hell of a lower volume high mix model and with 65,000 SKUs or more.
So, when you look at our ability to actually deliver, that’s something that the team is working very hard on and I think it’s going to remain challenging. All of my comments this morning will be on an organic constant currency basis. Sales in the second quarter grew by double-digits in every segment and every region. Broad-based growth for the quarter and for the year continued in all major product categories, resulting in record quarterly sales and operating earnings.
