Care & Maintenance
Thank you for purchasing this high-quality, hand-crafted Positive Posture recliner. Please read these upholstery care
instructions carefully. It offers you useful tips on the care and maintenance of leather and synthetic leather coverings.
Leather
Leather is a natural product with all that this implies. Variations in shade, grain, and natural markings add to its charm.
Cushioned surfaces are designed to offer a soft and comfortable sit. During the first few weeks of use, it is normal and
expected that natural creases and wrinkles will form. These are not defects but the natural characteristics of your
new furniture.
•
Avoid direct, prolonged exposure to sunlight. Intense and prolonged exposure will result in the deterioration and
discoloration of all upholsteries, including those used on your recliner.
•
Keep well away from sources of heat such as radiators and fireplaces. Exposure to external heat sources will result in
deterioration of upholstery, supporting foam material, and batting.
•
Sharp object (are any items with sharp edges) such as toys, jewelry, belt buckles, and heels may cause permanent damage
and distortions. Pets should not be allowed to claw or climb on the upholstery.
•
Vacuum with a soft brush attachment
•
Dust often with a soft, clean cloth
•
Promptly treat spots and stains using a soft absorbent cloth. Blot - do not rub stains.
•
If a spill occurs blot spilled liquids with an absorbent cloth. Use lukewarm water and very mild soap flakes. Work up suds
on a soft, clean, damp cloth, free from fluff, and wipe down the leather surface. Using another clean soft cloth, repeat the
process WITHOUT soap. Gently wipe dry. Once completely dry, polish with a soft, clean, and dry cloth.
•
Contact a professional leather cleaning service for stubborn stains
•
Never use harsh cleaners, chemicals or saddle soap, as they will damage the finish. Pre-test, in an inconspicuous place on
your recliner, any gentle cleaning solution you use. Check for discoloration or damage before using
any cleaner.
•
Keep pets off furniture. Pet body oils are difficult to remove and can have an impact on the appearance and longevity of
your recliner’s upholstery.
•
Do not leave newspapers on any upholstered furniture.
•
All leather has natural markings which distinguish genuine leather from man-made materials. These markings may be
present on your furniture and is your assurance that you have a true leather. Each area of hide will absorb dye in varying
amounts, and may be slightly darker or lighter than other areas.
•
Over time, changes in color and signs of wear are natural and normal. Irregularities in the consistency and depth of
the color and texture should not be considered a fault, but inherent in the natural beauty of the leather. Indeed, many
appreciate the unique ability of leather to take on character and patina as it ages.
