Leather How To... Care & Cleaning
DO's
- Dust or vacuum regularly.
- Use lukewarm distilled water for spills or stains to prevent
watermark rings or stains.
- Use a soft cloth like a chamois or a soft sponge to prevent scratches or abrasions.
- Wipe lightly in one direction.
- Blot with a dry cloth and let the leather air dry naturally.
DON'Ts
- DO NOT place furniture in direct sunlight. Remember the sun is a natural bleaching agent. All fabric and leather
upholstery will lighten or discolor in natural sinlight over time.
- DO NOT place furniture on or near heat sources. Heat can cause natural leather to crack and age prematurely.
REMEMBER
- Leather is a natural product and requires some care to maintain the natural beauty of the hide.
- For minor or slight scratches on the surface, use chamois or clean fingers to gently buff the scratch. The friction
and heat from the rubbing helps redistribute the wax in the surrounding area to cover the scratch.
- Not all scratches have the same depth so the technique may not work on deeper scratches.
- Leather is not for everyone. Customers with kids or pets will see more severe scratches and scuffs than the
average leather customer.
