Leather Furniture Care Guide
• Leather furniture should not be placed in direct sunlight or in very
warm areas – next to radiators for example.
• Leather requires the minimum of care, although it is essential that
the surface is kept free of dirt and grit, which can have a damaging effect.
• A regular vacuuming with the soft brush attachment will also help with
the cleaning of the furniture; great care should be taken not to scratch the
leather with the tools of the cleaner.
• On light coloured leather some denim materials can “colour transfer”
to the furniture it is advisable not to sit on light leather sofas and chairs
in dark denim materials.
• Regular dusting with a soft cloth is good practice to keep leather
looking good. If the surface is noticeably soiled the upholstery should be wiped
down with a damp cloth and soapy water taking care not to soak the leather.
Only soap should be used; never use a detergent or any spirit based cleaning
fluids. Wipe off the soapy residue with clean cold water and wipe dry with a
clean dry cloth.
• If the surface is badly soiled then we recommend you consult specialist
leather upholstery cleaner, who can carry out cleaning in the home.
Characteristics of Leather
All leather furniture has a unique character of its own. We go to great lengths
to select only hides of the highest quality but some marking should be accepted
as part of the individual appearance of this type natural product.
