LEATHER
Maintenance
Leather must be regularly cleaned and waxed.
To do so, clean the leather surface with a damp rag. This operation will remove dust.
Every 6 months to a year depending on use, apply a leather shampoo on the leather then use a hydrating cream which
will also protect it.
Stain removal
If the leather surface gets stained, clean immediatley using an absorbent piece of paper. Do not scour. Clean inwards to
prevent the stain from spreading.
- Buffer applying denatured alcohol with a piece of cotton (ink and food stains).
- Apply absorbent powder (talcum) on grease stains.
Wait a couple of hours, then brush the excess of powder.
- Other: Apply white vinegar or acetic acid diluted in water.
- Test the product on a small hidden area of
the surface before cleaning.
- Avoid excessive moisture.
- Do not scrub on leather surfaces.
- If you notice leather colour on the rag,
immediately stop cleaning.
