7. UPHOLSTERY CARE & MAINTENANCE
Caring for Leather & Bonded Leather Upholstery
Do not over expose leather or bonded leather to sunlight.
Leather and bonded leather furniture must be properly cleaned to keep free of dust
and dirt. Please dust frequently and occasionally wipe over with a damp, soft cloth.
Let the furniture dry thoroughly before use.
Never use a coloured cloth to clean leather or bonded leather. Colour may transfer
from the cloth to the furniture.
Never use any type of harsh cleaner – especially alcohol-based products.
Spots & Spills
Blot excess liquid immediately with a clean absorbent cloth or sponge. If necessary,
use clear, lukewarm water and gently wipe the spill. Dry with a clean cloth and allow
to air dry. Do not dry wet areas with hair dryers etc.
Stubborn Spots & Stains
For most leather or bonded leather furniture, use a mild solution, such as Neutrogena
or Ivory liquid soap, with lukewarm water on a soft cloth. Always clean a small hid-
den sample area rst and clean gently (no rm pressure).
After cleaning, rinse and dry naturally. For natural leather, blot excess liquid immedi-
ately with a clean absorbent cloth. Stains should disappear eventually.
Do Not Use
Saddle soaps, oils, abrasive cleaners, soaps, furniture polish, oils, varnish or ammo-
nia water should not be used on leather or bonded leather. The leather has already
been permanently preserved in the tanning process and needs no maintenance other
than the simple cleaning recommended.
Note: Please be aware that certain household chemicals and personal care products
can have an adverse effect on the leather. This includes the products listed above
and also hair preparations, some skincare preparations, room sprays etc., plus some
strong medications.
Cleaning Fabric Upholstery
In all cases remove excess spillage immediately using a clean white absorbent cloth
or paper roll. Blot the stained area so that the fabric is as dry as possible. If the fab-
ric is stained, use a damp cloth moistened with a diluted disinfectant cleaning agent.
Clean a small hidden sample area rst in case it discolours the fabric.
Warning! Always disconnect the chair from the mains before cleaning it, and do not
reconnect it until you are sure it is completely dry. Never allow water to get into the
electrics.
