Care Instructions
Weekly, light dusting with a soft, clean, white cloth. This leather may be vacuum cleaned with a very soft brush attachment on a low suction setting.
To prevent dry-out and fading, this product must be kept away from direct sunlight, bright indirect sunlight and other sources of light or heat.
For spots and stains, immediately blot up (do not rub) excess moisture with a soft, clean, white cloth. When needed, use a soft, clean, white cloth with lukewarm distilled water. You may also use the soft cleaner that comes in your protection plan kit if a protection plan was purchased. Bottles of soft cleaner may also be purchased at any of our showrooms. See product instructions for more details.
Whether you use distilled water or soft cleaner, it is important to clean the entire panel and not just a spot. This way, when wiping off the entire panel (such as a complete seat cushion top or complete arm), after it dries, the area will dry more uniformly and will be less likely to show the area where the stain occurred. Allow to air dry. Do not use a hair dryer or heat source. Many stains, even if absorbed into the leather, may dissipate into the leather over time.
To protect this leather against most stains, under normal use, this leather must be conditioned with Creative Leather Furniture recommended cream conditioner, a minimum of four times per year, or more frequently as needed. More specific instructions for the application of this conditioner are found inside the kit or separate bottles that Creative Leather Furniture recommends.
If and when this leather takes on a worn or aged look, in most instances, you, the consumer, can revitalize it. Contact our Customer Relations Department for specific recommendation of product.
