Semi-Aniline Leather
This soft, beautiful leather is slightly more uniform than full aniline and is warranted for two years to be free of defective material or workmanship. This leather is sometimes top-coated with a clear or pigmented sealant to guard against some stains but the sealant does not block all of the pores. It will exhibit some natural markings including healed barbed wire scars, neck and belly wrinkles, scratches, insect bites, etc. Natural features and distinctive grain fluctuations assure individuality and enhance every hide. Like a thumbprint, these natural hallmarks of Nature add character to the hide and are not considered defects or deficiencies. The leather in these categories will have minimal color variance from hide to hide. Creative Leather Furniture reserves the sole right in determining whether or not the variance is acceptable by industry standard.
The Creative Leather Furniture Warranty requires that the owner of this leather type follow these care instructions. Failure to care for this leather type as prescribed here, could result in a shorter useful life of the merchandise and/or warranty coverage limitations. Only Creative Leather Furniture or it’s authorized technician(s) may determine whether or not a product has been properly cared for.
Care Instructions
Light dusting with a soft, clean, white cloth as frequently as needed. 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. If you need to use water, it is important to clean the entire panel and not just a spot. With wiping off the entire panel (such as a complete seat cushion top or complete arm), the area will dry more uniformly and will be less likely to show the area where the stain occurred, after it dries. Allow to air dry. Do not use a hair dryer or heat source. Many stains, even if absorbed into the leather, will probably 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. These supplies are available at our showrooms.
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.
