Leather Care

Leather is a natural product. Aging brings out its natural patina, making it even more beautiful over time and therefore requires some care to maintain the natural beauty of the hide.

Wipe over weekly with a soft cloth to remove dust and dirt, and vacuum in crevices or along the bottom. Avoid using detergents or other domestic cleaning agents on. Keep leather away from direct sunlight and heat sources as it can cause drying, cracking and fading. Manage pets as the oils in pet hair can cause long term discoloration.

Use only a recommended leather conditioner every 4-6 months. Use only recommended conditioners for your leather type and always follow the instructions. Avoid over cleaning.

To remove spills, use a soft damp cloth. If necessary, clean with lukewarm water and let it air dry naturally. If water is used, clean the entire area. Use only a white, damp cloth that is colourfast. For butter, oil or grease stains, wipe off excess with a clean dry cloth then leave alone. The spot should dissipate into the leather after a short period of time. If the stain persists, seek treatment by a professional leather cleaner to avoid potential damage to the leather.
