Leather Sofa Care Instructions
|
|
You’ve made an excellent investment which you need to protect and look after. For this reason we have produced the following care guide.
On Delivery:
Make sure that the room is ready and access is clear for our delivery teams
If you have wooden floors, protect them from the feet of your new furniture
Once you have accepted the furniture and the packaging has been removed, take a few minutes to inspect it. Make sure you are completely satisfied before the delivery team leaves your premises
Once the tight protective wrapping is removed from leather furniture, the cushions may appear flatter than expected and the leather creased. Use the palms of your hands to press gently on the leather surface and smooth the cushions and leather into their normal shape. Plump all cushions. Once air begins to circulate around the suite, the leather will relax and fall into its original shape.
Regular Maintenance:
Plump and turn cushions daily. Over time some fillings, including fibre, will lose up to 20% of their original volume through normal wear and tear. Daily plumping will help make them last longer
Use the upholstery or drape attachment to vacuum your furniture weekly and reduce the abrasive effect of dust and crumbs
We also recommend using a leather care kit to protect the leather and prolong its life
If you spill something, blot up the excess immediately. Do not use detergents or rub as you could cause permanent damage
Making It Last:
Do not have your furniture too close to direct heat or air conditioning. It can cause joints to dry out and squeaks and creaks to develop
Remember light affects colour so over exposure to sunlight will cause your furniture to fade
Don’t pull loose threads. Trim them off neatly with sharp scissors
Over time, perspiration and natural oils from our skins and hair can have an affect on the finish of leather. Where hands, bare arms or heads rest on the hide, wipe over regularly with a slightly damp cotton cloth and a mild soap. Do the same with any areas where pets may have rubbed against your furniture
Be careful when wearing denim jeans or non colour-fast dark clothing as they can discolour light coloured suites
