Leather Care Tips
In order to take care of leather properly,
it is essential to be able to recognise the
various types of leather.
Fundamentals
1. The leather should be complete clean of
dirt and should not be wet.
2. It is important to handle the leather with
care. As a precaution before using a cleaner,
first check it on a small, concealed area.
3. Never use harsh cleaners. Solvents, Furniture
polish and similar products will adversely affect
the surface of the leather.
4. Avoid placing your furniture in direct sunlight.
Direct sunlight and high temperatures will cause
the leather's color to fade over time.
Cleaning and Care
Dust your leather furniture regulary with a
soft cloth. From time to time
you can wipe with a damp cloth.
Wipe dirt that begins to dry, over a large
area with a cloth moistened in warm suds (e.g.
complete seat area or back.) Or clean it with
usual Softcleaner. After that, towel dry with
a soft cotton cloth and then let it dry. Afterwards
apply a nourishing leather product to the surface.
On nubuck leather you should not apply any
products after cleaning and only brush up the
fibers at the end.
Take special care that stains don't become
dry.
Always handle the leather with due diligence
and great care, otherwise the surface of the
leather may be damaged and on nubuck leather
color changes
could occur.
