                  LEATHER CARE

                  Common issues

                  As leather is a natural material, it is subject to wear and tear from daily use. Damages resulting from wear and tear are commonplace and are not considered manufacturing defects. Some common results of wear and tear can include (but are not limited to): 

                  Discolouration
                  • This can happen if your sofa is placed by the window, where it is exposed to direct and constant sunlight.
                  Cracks/Peeling
                  • This can be caused by exposure to extreme temperatures, scratches, or improper storage methods.

                   

                  General maintenance / What to avoid 

                  • Avoid
                    • Exposing your sofa to extreme temperatures
                    • Sharp edges that may cause scratches
                    • Spills
                    • Jumping on sofas - this is not only unsafe for the user, it can also compromise the leather, the sofa’s inner construction and mechanisms.
                    • Placing leather furniture against painted walls for extended periods of time.
                    • Placing your sofa in direct sunlight or under intense indoor light.
                    • Do not use harsh soap, household detergents or unapproved solvents to clean your sofa. Using the leather kit is recommended.
                  • Remove any plastic coverings from your sofa. This allows your leather to ‘breathe’, and prevents the buildup of moisture and mildew.
                  • Watch out for children's’ hands near exposed mechanisms of storage sofas or recliners/incliners.
                  • It is alright to use a wet cloth to clean the sofa, but a cleaner that is non-water based is highly recommended as water is a good medium for mould. Look for a cleaner with alcohol based which is quick drying. Leather wipe wet tissue cloth is also another alternative.
                  • Occasionally maintain your sofa with a cleaning and/or moisturizing routine.


                  Recommended tools for maintenance / DIY minor repairs 

                  • For cleaning
                    • Microfibre cloth
