Rub down the textile parts once per year with
a clean, damp cloth. After leaving overnight to

Leather
Leather is a natural product. Appropriate regular
care is essential for its durability.
It must be protected and nourished using a
specic leather product, to keep it supple and
preserve its original appearance.
Do not use maintenance products which
are not suitable for cleaning
leather
(e.g.
solvent, detergent, petrol, pure alcohol).
Do not use bleaching or colour-removal
products (e.g. perchloroethylene).
When cleaning items partly made from
leather, take care not to damage the other
materials with the specic leather product.
Before cleaning greasy stains or liquids,
quickly mop up any surplus.
Before cleaning, wipe o󰀨 any residues liable
to scu󰀨 the leather, using a cloth that has
been dampened with demineralised water
and thoroughly wrung out.
Clean the leather, without rubbing too
vigorously, using a soft cloth moistened with
soapy water or a pH-neutral product.
Dry with a soft, dry cloth.
