Caring for your “NATURAL” Leather Upholstery
Although leather is one of the most durable upholstery materials, it still needs regular care and cleaning to maintain its natural beauty.
You can significantly extend the life of your leather furniture by simply following these DO’s and DON’T’s:
DO Clean the leather regularly with a soft non-abrasive damp white cloth or color fast cloth to remove grease, dirt and dust. Vacuum the leather very carefully using soft small rounded brush to remove dust. Every 3 months is recommended
DO Clean stains caused by alcohol, soft drinks, coffee, tea, milk, chocolate, oil, fat, cosmetics, body lotion, sun screen etc. Remove the stain immediately from the surface by dabbing with an absorbent cloth or paper. Then delicately rub the surface, working from the outside towards the center of the stain using a clean cloth.
DON’T Expose your leather furniture to direct sunlight or extreme heat. Maintain 8”-12” between your sofa and radiator or similar heat source. Leathers are light and heat sensitive and will fade over time with exposure to these elements.
DON’T Dry the leather in direct sunlight or use a hair dryer
DON’T Use soap, saddle soaps, oils, all-purpose cleaners, detergents, solvents, spray cleaners , chemicals or abrasive cleaners on your leather
DON’T Place sharp or heavy objects on your leather furniture as it may damage the leather
NOTE: Unprotected aniline leathers will rapidly absorb spills and stains. These natural finishes require special attention. Failing to care properly for your leather product may affect your warranty.
