Care tips for Aniline, Natural, Unprotected, Pure or Naked Leathers
 |
Try to maintain at least two feet between your furniture & heating sources. Prolonged exposure to heat vents or radiators will cause drying out of your leather. |
 |
Avoid placing your furniture in direct sunlight. All materials will fade over time when placed in direct sunlight. Aniline leathers are especially sensitive to sunlight. Do not place ANILINE leather in windows or under skylights. |
 |
Like all items in your house, Leather can accumulate dust. Lightly dampen a soft cloth with the Leather Master Soft Cleaner and dust weekly. You may also use the soft brush attachment on your vacuum. You may fully remove dust particles from ANILINE leather’s surface, making them ideal for dust sensitive persons. |
 |
All leathers perform better when preventative maintenance is practiced. For ANILINE leathers apply Leather Master Protection Cream to the surface of the leather to help resist staining and prevent overall soiling. Pay particular attention to protect high use areas like; seats, arms and backs. |
 |
As a general rule, fully clean your furniture with Leather Master Soft Cleaner at least every six months to remove dirt as well as the gradual accumulation of body oils and perspiration. ANILINE leathers require more frequent cleaning when placed in high use areas like a TV room. After cleaning, reapply Protection Cream to the leather to renew the protection level. |
