Cleaning Leather

Take the following steps to give your leather furniture the right touch:

• Never use wet wipes to clean your leather furniture - always use leather wipes or a damp cloth.
• Clean the leather at least three times a year to keep it in good condition.
• All leathers react differently to cleaning, so keep a careful eye on colour coming changes on the leather while you clean.
• Most cleaning products for leather come in concentrate form - always dilute the mixture before you apply it as the concentrated liquid can cause damage.
• Be gentle - two or three gentle wipes will do the job, whereas rubbing will do more harm than good.

Cleaning Aniline & Nubuck Leathers

Aniline or Nubuck leathers require intensive care to keep their look and feel:

• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and dirt from the leather's surface.
• Add a small amount of special cleaning fluid to a damp sponge, producing a light foam, then apply gently.
• Beware of letting the leather get too moist while you clean.
• Allow the clean leather to dry naturally or dry it gently with a hair dryer.
