FOR SPOTS AND SPILLS
Wipe up excess liquid immediately with a clean absorbent cloth or sponge. If necessary,
use clean luke warm water only and let air dry naturally. If water is used, clean the
entire area where the spot occurred. An example would be the entire seat cushion or
entire arm. Do not dry wet areas with hair dryers, etc.
FOR STUBBORN SPOTS AND STAINS
Use a mild non-detergent cleaner such as a bar of Ivory soap or Amway L.O.C.. Apply
the soap to a clean wet sponge, wash, then rinse well. Let air dry naturally.
FOR BUTTER, OIL OR GREASE
Wipe excess butter, oil or grease off the leather with a clean dry cloth, then leave it
alone as the spot should dissipate into the leather in a short period of time. Do not apply
water or try to wash a butter, oil or grease spot.
DO NOT USE
Saddle Soap, cleaning solvents, furniture polish, oils, varnish, abrasive cleaners, soaps
or ammonia water.
1) These are recommended or suggested methods of cleaning, but the manufacturer is not
responsible for damage incurred while cleaning. 2) Always try the cleaning method in a hidden area first to test
the results.
