  16. Maintenance and cleaning • Most leather furniture is easy to take care of. • It becomes nicer and softer from being used, and it gets a fine patina. • The daily care doesn’t take more than dusting the furniture with a dry, soft cloth, or you can vacuum it, using a nozzle with a soft brush. • All leather furniture needs to be wiped off with soapy water once or twice a year. Soap flakes contain a fatty substance that will nourish the leather and prevent the finer types of leather from drying up, and keep pigmented upholstery leather from crackling.

  17. Maintenance and cleaning • In the event that you should accidentally drop a piece of cake or spill a cup of coffee in the leather chair its important to know how to remove the stain without blotching the leather. • IDdesign strongly advise you against using other leather cream, oils, leather wax, synthetic detergents or other cleaning products, then the ones that we are selling, on your leather furniture, because: • 1. nobody knows exactly what the cleaning agents contain. • 2. nobody knows exactly how they might affect the leather. • 3. the product may contain chemicals that dissolve dye and lacquer. • 4. the product may contain chemicals that leave blotches. • The maintenance and cleaning products sold by IDdesign are tested with our product. (if the customer follows the guide include in the packed)

  18. Maintenance and cleaning • The safest way is the following method: • First, soak up the spillage with a soft, clean cloth. Then dab the stain with a soft cloth wrung out in clean water-or a very thin solution of soapy water. If the water is hard, you should use distilled water. • The upholstery mustn’t get soaking wet when you clean your furniture. It should jest be wiped with a wrung-out cloth. • If the furniture is upholstered in pure aniline or semi-aniline leather, you must wipe the entire surface of the upholstery-otherwise the water will leave blotches on the leather.
