Leather Care Guide

Leather furniture can last longer and perform better, when preventative

maintenance is practiced. When properly cared for, all leathers keep their special

look and feel.

Room Temperature

It is important to keep the home and office where your furniture is placed properly

humidified. Natural products such as leather require a reasonable level of

temperature and humidity. Position your leather furniture away from direct sunlight,

high-wattage lights, heating and air conditioning registers. These remove necessary

moisture from leather that may cause additional cracks or splits.

Genuine Leather Characteristics

It is important to remember that due to its genuine features, leather has natural

wrinkles as well as color and texture variations. No two pieces of leather are the same;

they all have slight variances of color and grain. There are four main characteristics or

“blemishes” of natural leather: scratches, wrinkles, insect bites and natural healed

scars.

Sofa Handling Precautions

If one particular seat or back becomes ‘worn in’ or the seat’s firmness changes, these

are normal occurrences for all upholstered furniture. In order to ensure that cushions

return to their intended look, you can simply model or smooth the cushions by hand.

Do not drag the sofa on rough surface, such as carpets, floors covered with blankets,

etc.

Slowly lift up the sofa and move it even on smooth surface. Do not jump on the sofa or

sit on the arm or back. If the sofa needs to be moved, avoid lifting from the armrest

and arm pillows, the correct way to move the sofa is by lifting from the base or

underside of the arms. Never move the sofa by pushing or pulling it.

Leather Care

Following are some tips on how to preserve the look of your furniture. Furniture in daily

use is exposed to various strains caused by external factors, for example body oils,

perspiration, general wear and tear and color transfer from jeans.

 Maintain surface appearance and texture by gently wiping your leather once a week with a clean dry cloth or vacuum with a soft brush. This will remove dust and build-up.  Dab spills immediately using a soft cloth.  Avoid leather cleaners which use harmful chemical products.  Leather is a natural product and any stress will result in tears.  Leather has limited elasticity. This means that when stretched, it does not completely return to its original shape.
