Leather
Leather is a wonderful, natural material that is extremely
long lasting, as long as it is cared for in the correct manner.
There are a few points that it is important to remember
when it comes to your leather recliner:
• Since leather is a natural material, it is normal for it to
stretch slightly after a while.
• It can happen that leather bears scars from insect
bites, scratches, small wrinkles in the skin or other natural
marks. These small aesthetic defects do not affect the
quality of the leather. This is also part of what gives leather
a specific and unique character when compared to
synthetic materials.
• The original density/firmness of the foam can also
decrease with time.
Cleaning Guidance:
Leather can be damaged slowly over time by exposure
to all the usual substances that one might expect in the
home: humidity, perspiration, tobacco smoke, bacteria and
other sources of dirt. Fortunately, it is quite low-mainte-
nance so make sure to follow the guidance given here to
protect your recliner.
It is important to give your recliner a regular light clean,
ideally once a week. This can be as simple as a light dusting
to remove dirt, followed by a wipe down with a damp,
microfiber cloth (only use distilled water, or boiled water
that has cooled to room temperature). Leave to air dry or
dry with a clean towel.
It is then important to carry out a more thorough cleaning
of the recliner at least once every 3-6 months. We strong-
ly advise to keep it simple when choosing your cleaning
materials and avoid using any DIY creations that you might
read about online or elsewhere. (Please note: If you wish to
use a specific leather-cleaning product, we suggest you ask
your retailer for guidance on which products they
recommend).
We recommend the following steps for a complete
clean:
1. Remove dirt with a microfiber cloth, or use a vacuum
cleaner with a soft brush/upholstery attachment.
2. Create a cleaning solution using a few drops of a
PH-neutral, non-detergent liquid soap, and mix this with
distilled water. Dampen a clean microfiber cloth with this
solution and lightly wipe down the recliner, from top to
bottom.
3. Dampen another microfiber cloth with distilled water
only and wipe down the recliner again.
4. Finally, lightly dry the recliner with a clean towel.
We also recommend using a good leather conditioner
every 6 to 12 months. This will help keep the leather soft
and supple. Ask your retailer for recommendations on
suitable products.
Any new product you wish to use for cleaning your leather
recliner, we suggest you test a small amount first in an
inconspicuous place, e.g. somewhere on the back, just
to see how the leather reacts and ensure there are no
adverse effects.
