Tips for Easy Leather Care

 

NEVER CLEAN WITH SOAPS AND DETERGENTS-Soaps and detergents can cause the leather's surface to break down and, in some cases, will remove color.

 

NEVER USE OILS OR SILICONE-With continued use, oils may darken leather or soften the color, causing it to peel or wear off. Silicones cause leather to become shiny and slippery, attracting dust more readily and making repairs and refinishing impossible.

 

AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT-Colors and finishes can fade in the sun.

NEVER USE "HOME REMEDIES"-Damages like ink stains or oil stains should be handled by a professional leather care service. Doing it yourself can cause irreversible damage.

 

AVOID EXTREME TEMPERATURE-Don't place leather furniture near radiators or air conditioners, as it will hasten the drying process.

 

REMOVE SPILLS IMMEDIATELY-Use absorbent paper toweling or a cloth to remove liquid spills. For grease or oil, use talcum powder or corn starch to absorb the spill. Never use water on grease or oil spills. 

 

BEFORE USING ANY CLEANING METHOD-When maintaining and cleaning your leather furniture yourself, be sure to test any cleaning method on a hidden spot of your leather furniture to be sure of effectiveness.

 

INVEST IN A QUALITY LEATHER CONDITIONER-Leather is a natural product. The use of a leather conditioner is suggested every 6 to 12 months to help maintain its natural beauty.
