Maintenance and Adjustment
Care of Leather Products
We recommend that you periodically clean
your leather products with a damp cloth and
allow them to dry naturally at room
temperature. This will maintain the
appearance of the leather and ensure the
long life of your product.
Your Triumph leather product is a natural
product and lack of care can result in damage
and permanent wear. Follow these simple
instructions and give your leather product the
respect it deserves:
• Do not use household cleaning products,
bleach, detergents containing bleach or
any kind of solvent to clean your leather
product.
• Do not immerse your leather product in
water.
• Avoid direct heat from fires and radiators
which can dry out and distort the leather.
• Do not leave your leather product in
direct sunlight for prolonged periods of
time.
• Do not dry your leather product by
applying direct heat to it at any time.
• If your leather product does get wet,
absorb any excess water with a soft clean
cloth then leave the product to dry
naturally at room temperature.
• Avoid exposure of your leather product
to high levels of salt, for example sea/salt
water or road surfaces that have been
treated during the winter for ice and
snow.
• If exposure to salt is unavoidable, clean
your leather product immediately after
each exposure using a damp cloth then
leave the product to dry naturally at
room temperature.
• Gently clean any minor marks with a
damp cloth then leave the product to dry
naturally at room temperature.
• Place your leather product in a fabric bag
or cardboard box to protect it when in
storage. Do not use a plastic bag.
