Care and Maintenance of Cabinets and Leather
The high gloss finish of the cabinet can be maintained by regular dusting using a soft cloth
or micro fibre cloth. Should you feel the need to use a polish we would recommend an
abrasive free polish such as a good quality furniture polish. Always apply the polish to
the cloth and use sparingly to avoid contaminating the leather or drive units. The drive
units should only be cleaned with a damp cloth if more than normal dusting is required.
Cleaning of leather is perhaps something that is given too much emphasis. Leather
furniture in a normal domestic environment should require little attention and any cleaning
should be done only when necessary. It is not essential to the life of leather that it should
be cleaned regularly, but at the same time an accumulation of dirt and grease over a long
period is undesirable and obviously, the longer it is left the more difficult it will be to
remove. Dirt is abrasive and over a period of time in extreme circumstances will cause the
removal of the protective coating. Cleaning as described below is advisable.
Cleaning of Finished Leather
Use a cloth soaked in a mild soap/water solution (not detergent) and wring it out until
damp. Apply the cloth to the surface of the leather in a light circular motion, turning the
cloth regularly. Avoid an aggressive rubbing action. Repeat with a damp cloth rinsed in
clean warm water. To improve the life of the leather, follow these few helpful hints.
• Allow to dry and then lightly polish using a clean, dry soft cloth.
• Don’t use cleaning fluids and preparations.
• Don’t over clean - leather really doesn’t take much looking after.
• Don’t use wax/spray polishes - upholstery leather is not the same as shoe leather.
Wax polishes and furniture spray often contain silicone which will, in time,
produce an unpleasant sticky feel to the leather.
• Don’t feed - modern leathers do not require ‘feeding’. Despite this, there is much
encouragement to use so-called hide foods, care kits, saddle soaps and waxes
- avoid them all.
