Use and Care Manual

• If your leather furnishings are exposed to sunlight and heat (which they normally are), they can
change color abruptly and exhibit spotting. Using a conditioner ensures protection from UV rays
and discoloration
• Leather can crack due to expansion and contraction due to exposure to heat and varying
temperatures through seasons. The application of leather conditioners will help prevent this.
Day to Day Cleaning Tips
In addition to using conditioners to treat leather on a quarterly basis, it is important to clean furnishings
regularly to keep dust and grime at bay. This strongly contributes to the longevity of the product. Here
are some tips we recommend.
• When trying out new products to clean leather furnishings, try the product on a hidden spot first
to notice any signs of discoloration or abrasion early on, without affecting the look of the piece
• Avoid exposing leather furnishings to excess heat and sunlight as it causes fading
• Any spills must be dealt with immediately. Blotting spills will prevent the affected area from
staining heavily and most spills, if tended to early on, are easy to clean
• Frequent dusting and wiping with a damp cloth can prevent build up and contribute to the life of
the furniture
• Vacuum the piece using the brush attachment and ensure all dirt is removed from crevices and
cracks
• Any wiping and cleaning on leather is best done with a micro-fiber cloth
Stubborn Spots and Spills
Although leather is resistant to spills to a certain extent, there are sometimes when you’ll need a little
extra effort. Here’s what we recommend doing in case of a spill or stubborn spot.
• Step 1: Immediately blot the spill. This will make it much easier to get rid of or prevent any
staining on the leather.
• Step 2: Use a microfiber cloth to wipe any excess liquids from the surface.
• Step 3: If further cleaning is necessary, we recommend using a damp microfiber soaked in
lukewarm water to clean the surface. Avoid spot cleaning the leather surface and ensure that
the entire surface covered in leather is cleaned in the same manner.
• Step 4: Let it dry. Do not use hairdryers or other heat sources – air dry the leather surface.
• Step 5: If staining occurs, repeat step 3 and 4. This time, we recommend using a non-abrasive
leather cleaning agent or a mild soap instead of just water.
• Step 6: If the stain persists, contact a professional cleaner.
