 | Leather usually does not need much maintenance, but cannot do without it completely. 2 to 3 times a year is usually enough. Leather furniture which gets worn a lot, dirty, dries out etc. needs to be maintained more often than normal. Normal conditions are temperatures from 18 to 22 degrees centigrade and a relative humidity of 30 to 60%.
Leather is cleaned with a dry cloth, possibly wrung in demineralised water. Thorough cleaning can be done with soap flake water, ¼ dl soap flakes for 1 l hot demineralised water which is cooled before use. Do not rub too much on the leather. Soap residue must be polished off with a dry cloth. Never use detergents, sulphone, solvents or other cleaning materials on leather. |
