• Leather furniture should not be placed in direct sunlight or in very warm areas – next to radiators for example.

• Leather requires the minimum of care, although it is essential that the surface is kept free of dirt and grit, which can have a damaging effect.

• A regular vacuuming with the soft brush attachment will also help with the cleaning of the furniture; great care should be taken not to scratch the leather with the tools of the cleaner.

• On light coloured leather some denim materials can “colour transfer” to the furniture it is advisable not to sit on light leather sofas and chairs in dark denim materials.

• Regular dusting with a soft cloth is good practice to keep leather looking good. If the surface is noticeably soiled the upholstery should be wiped down with a damp cloth and soapy water taking care not to soak the leather. Only soap should be used; never use a detergent or any spirit based cleaning fluids. Wipe off the soapy residue with clean cold water and wipe dry with a clean dry cloth.

• If the surface is badly soiled then we recommend you consult specialist leather upholstery cleaner, who can carry out cleaning in the home.
