Cleaning Guide
Always pre-test any cleaning method in an inconspicuous or unexposed area.
We recommend
purchasing a slipcover if sharing chair with others.
Alternative Leather
For basic maintenance, clean the whole surface in circular motions using liquid hand soap and water
(1 part soap to 9 parts water). Rinse and wipe with a clean damp white cloth to get rid of any excess
soap. Repeat as needed and then let dry.
To disinfect with a bleach solution, use 0.5% concentration, which can be prepared as 1 part bleach
per 10 parts of water. Rinse and wipe with a clean, damp, white cloth to get rid of any excess. Allow
chair to dry thoroughly.
DO NOT USE:
Solvents like paint thinner, Varsol, acetone, whiteners, waxes, silicones, detergents,
and/or cleaning products that are not pH neutral. Abrasive cleaning tools such as plastic or wire
sponges or hard-bristle brushes can permanently damage alternative leather. Never use alcohol.
Leather
For black leather- Dust with a clean dry cloth for routine cleaning. For spots and spills, wipe excess
liquid immediately and let air dry. If necessary, use lukewarm water and mild soap, work into a thin
lather with a soft cloth, rinse with clean water, and buff to restore luster. A leather cleaner or condi-
tioner may also be used.
For all other colors- Dust with a clean dry cloth for routine cleaning. Wipe the leather with a clean,
damp cloth to remove soil and allow it to air dry. Leather conditioners and protectants, such as
those by Leather Master® can be used as directed. Should a spill occur, blot immediately using a
clean cloth or paper towel. For a more thorough cleaning, a solution of lukewarm water and a mild
cleaner, such as Ivory® soap or Woolite®, may be used. Dampen a clean white cloth and gently wipe
the affected area using a circular motion. Rinse completely with a clean cloth to ensure all cleaner
is removed. Dry with a paper towel or dry cloth and allow to completely air dry. Repeat the cleaning
process as needed, allowing the leather to dry between applications.
DO NOT USE:
Bleach, ammonia, or any harsh cleaners. These types of cleaners eat away at leather
and the dye.
