Product Care Guide
Looking after your furniture properly will help it stay comfortable, attractive, and functional for years to come.
Everyday care
- Dust or vacuum regularly using a soft brush attachment.
- Clean high-contact areas (headrests, armrests, seats, footrests) more frequently, as body oils and dirt build up quickly.
Spills & cleaning
- Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth — do not rub.
- Use a leather-specific cleaner for marks.
- Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cloths, detergents, or multipurpose cleaners.
- Do not soak leather with water.
Maintenance & protection
- Apply a quality leather conditioner periodically to prevent drying and cracking.
- Keep leather furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources to reduce fading and drying.
- Rotate and reposition cushions regularly to ensure even wear.
- If leather becomes wet, allow it to dry naturally — never use a heater or hairdryer.
- Consider professional cleaning and conditioning annually for heavily used pieces.
Tip: Keep sharp objects and pet claws away from leather to prevent scratches.
Routine cleaning
- Vacuum regularly with a soft upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris.

Ongoing care
- Rotate and fluff cushions regularly to maintain shape.

- Fluff and shake cushions frequently to redistribute filling.
- Rotate and turn cushions to prevent uneven flattening.
- Keep away from damp environments.
- Spot clean spills promptly.
- Occasional professional cleaning can refresh the cushions.
