It is then important to carry out a more thorough cleaning of the
recliner at least once every 3-6 months. We strongly advise to keep
it simple when choosing your cleaning materials and avoid using
any DIY creations that you might read about online or elsewhere.
(Please note: If you wish to use a specic leather-cleaning product,
we suggest you ask your retailer for guidance on which products
they recommend).
We recommend the following steps for a complete clean:
1. Remove dirt with a microber cloth, or use a vacuum cleaner
with a soft brush/upholstery attachment.
2. Create a cleaning solution using a few drops of a PH-neutral,
non-detergent liquid soap, and mix this with distilled water.
Dampen a clean microber cloth with this solution and lightly wipe
down the recliner, from top to bottom.
3. Dampen another microber cloth with distilled water
only and wipe down the recliner again.
4. Finally, lightly dry the recliner with a clean towel.
We also recommend using a good leather conditioner every 6 to 12
months. This will help keep the leather soft and supple. Ask your
retailer for recommendations on suitable products.
Any new product you wish to use for cleaning your leather recliner,
we suggest you test a small amount rst in an inconspicuous place,
e.g. somewhere on the back, just to see how the leather reacts and
ensure there are no adverse eects.
Leather can be damaged slowly over time by exposure to all the
usual substances that one might expect in the home: humidity,
perspiration, tobacco smoke, bacteria and other sources of dirt.
Fortunately, it is quite low-maintenance so make sure to follow the
guidance given here to protect your recliner.
It is important to give your recliner a regular light clean, ideally
once a week. This can be as simple as a light dusting to remove
dirt, followed by a wipe down with a damp, microber cloth (only
use distilled water, or boiled water that has cooled to room
temperature). Leave to air dry or dry with a clean towel.
Cleaning Guidance:
Leather is a wonderful, natural material that is extremely long
lasting, as long as it is cared for in the correct manner. There are a
few points that it is important to remember when it comes to your
leather recliner:
• Since leather is a natural material, it is normal for it to stretch
slightly after a while.
• It can happen that leather bears scars from insect bites, scratch-
es, small wrinkles in the skin or other natural marks. These small
aesthetic defects do not aect the quality of the leather. This is
also part of what gives leather a specic and unique character
when compared to synthetic materials.
• The original density/rmness of the foam can also decrease with
time.
