LEATHER CARE
Leather furniture can last longer and perform better, when preventative maintenance is practiced. When properly cared for, all leathers keep their special look and feel.
Room Temperature
It is important to keep the home and office where your furniture is placed properly humidified. Natural products such as leather require a reasonable level of temperature and humidity. Position your leather furniture away from direct sunlight, high-wattage lights, heating and air conditioning registers. These remove necessary moisture from leather that may cause additional cracks or splits.
Top Grain Leather Characteristics
It is important to remember that due to its genuine features, top grain leather has natural wrinkles as well as color and texture variations. No two pieces of leather are the same; they all have slight variances of color and grain. There are four main characteristics or “blemishes” of natural leather: scratches, wrinkles, insect bites and natural healed scars.
Sofa Handling Precautions
If one particular seat or back becomes ‘worn in’ or the seat’s firmness changes, these are normal occurrences for all upholstered furniture. In order to ensure that cushions return to their intended look, you can simply model or smooth the cushions by hand. Do not drag the sofa on rough surface, such as carpets, floors covered with blankets, etc. Slowly lift up the sofa and move it even on smooth surface. Do not jump on the sofa, or sit on the arm or back. If the sofa needs to be moved, avoid lifting from the armrest and arm pillows, the correct way to move the sofa is by lifting from the base or underside of the arms. Never move the sofa by pushing or pulling it.
HOW TO PRESERVE THE LOOK OF YOUR FURNITURE
Furniture in daily use is exposed to various strains caused by external factors, for example body oils, perspiration, general wear and tear and color transfer from clothing.
Maintain surface appearance and texture by gently wiping your leather once a week with a clean dry cloth or vacuum with a soft brush. This will remove dust and build up.To keep your cushions looking fluffy and new, avoid sitting in one area and use the seating areas evenly
