Leather Care

Leather - As with all leather, liquid stains should be wiped off immediately. Do not clean with detergents or soaps as these may discolor the leather. Leather may possibly fade if exposed to strong sunlight.  Wipe with a damp cloth and vacuum occasionally.

 Cleaning Information

Never use harsh cleaners such as Armor All, Scott's Liquid Gold, Murphy's Oil Soap, Son-of-a-Gun, Pledge, Endust, Saddle-Soap, abrasive cleaners like Ajax, Comet, etc. or any type of accelerated cleaners such as Fantastic, 409, Windex, etc. as they will damage the leather surface beyond restoration.

Leathers with no built in protection (Natural Leather)
For spots and spills - Blot excess liquid immediately with a clean dry cloth or sponge.  Do not rub.  Allow area to dry.  Most liquids will initially be repelled by the leather.  If spills are left for an extended period of time, they will be absorbed into the hide.  If absorbed, stains should dissipate through evaporation or the fiber structure of the hide.  For stubborn stains - Apply a mild solution of any non-acidic soap (Neutrogena, etc.) and water (preferably distilled water) using a clean absorbant cloth or sponge.  Rub either front to back or side to side.  Do not rub in circles.  Clean an area larger than the stain to avoid spotting.  Wipe again using a clean damp cloth, rubbing in one direction.  Allow to air dry.  It may be necessary to repeat this process for extreme stains.

Leathers with built in protection (Protected Leather) 
For spots and spills - Blot excess liquid immediately with a clean dry cloth or sponge.  Apply a mild solution of any non-acidic soap (Neutrogena, etc.) and water (preferably distilled water) to the soiled area wiping gently.  Rinse using a clean, moistened cloth or sponge.  Repeat the process if necessary for more stubborn stains.  Allow time to air dry.  Absorbed oil should dissipate with time through evaporation or the fiber structure of the hide.

REMEMBER- It is always best to test clean an inconspicuous area of the piece before proceeding with cleaning.  LEATHER FURNITURE USA cannot guarantee the cleanability of any leather.  While the appearance of some stains may be made less noticeable by using this cleaning process, certain stains, by their very nature, cannot be completely removed.  If you have any questions please contact Leather Furniture USA at 800-603-7133.
