Leather Upholstery
Maintenance
1. Remove dust and sand using a
vacuum cleaner.
2. Wipe off the soiled area with a soft
cloth and a suitable, special cleaner
or a soft cloth soaked in a mild
detergent (about 5%) diluted with
water.
3. Wipe off the remaining detergent
using a cloth soaked in clean water
and wrung out well.
4. Remove moisture with a dry, soft
cloth and allow the leather to
further dry in a well-ventilated,
shaded area. If the leather gets wet
such as from rain, remove the
moisture and dry it as soon as
possible.
NOTE
Because genuine leather is a natural
material, its surface is not uniform
and it may have natural scars,
scratches, and wrinkles.
To maintain the quality for as long as
possible, periodical maintenance,
about twice a year, is recommended.
If the leather upholstery comes into
contact with any of the following,
clean it immediately.
Leaving it uncleaned could cause
premature wear, mold, or stains.
Sand or dirt
Grease or oil, such as hand cream
Alcohol, such as in cosmetic or
hair dressing items
If the leather upholstery gets wet,
promptly remove moisture with a dry
cloth. Remaining moisture on the
surface may cause deterioration such
as hardening and shrinkage.
