5. Care instructions
In daily use, furniture is exposed to various strains caused by external factors such as body oils,
perspiraon, general wear and tear and colour transfer from clothing.
• To minimise fading, avoid placing your furniture in direct sunlight.
• To maintain the surface properes, we recommend that you keep a minimum distance of 30cm
between your furniture and any source of heat.
• Do not allow pets on your furniture. Their claws may scratch the leather which can lead to an
expensive repair. Their saliva is acidic and may also aack the leather nish.
• In order to avoid stubborn stains, protect your furniture when using household chemicals
e.g., (most) domesc detergents such as window cleaners, bleach and ngernail polish, nail
polish remover, glue, shoe polish, paint, corrosive materials. Avoid domesc detergents and
ALL products containing solvents and oils, as they may destroy the cover surface. Do not use
any tradional household products to remove stubborn stains. Many of these are harsh and
cannot be guaranteed safe. Do not use a steamer to clean the covers.
• Certain cosmecs and body care products contain solvents and oils. These products are not
benecial to leather or fabrics, as they may weaken the leather nish and ruin the pile of the
fabric over me. Avoid using your furniture with wet hair or with freshly applied hair care
products or cosmecs. To avoid build-up of these products, please clean regularly as described.
• Some of the leather dyes have a two-tone color eect (shadow/anque eect). Leather dyed
with a two-tone eect may change character faster and wear more unevenly than leather with
just one color. This applies in parcular to areas of the furniture that are exposed to harder
wear such as armrests, seat cushions and neck supports.
• The top layer of leather furniture oers some protecon and simplies cleaning but is none-
theless vulnerable to soiling and wear. If the top layer/top colour is destroyed, the leather may
deteriorate faster. Penetrang spills/damage/scratches are normally irreparable and may result
in the top color changing character, cracking or peeling o.
• Denim clothes and hard texles such as dungaree jeans expose the cover to strong wear and
may leave color on the cover which is dicult to remove.
5.1 Maintenance advice for leather furniture
Maintain surface appearance and texture by gently wiping your leather once a week with a clean
dry cloth or vacuum with a so brush. This will remove dust. Spills must be removed immediately.
We recommend your leather furniture is cleaned and re-protected at least every six months.
