> Cleaning 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 aggressive rubbing action. Repeat with a damp cloth rinsed in clean
warm water.
Allow to dry and then lightly polish using a clean, dry soft cloth.
Don't use cleaning fluids and preparations unless specifically directed by the tanner.
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!
For further advice on care and maintenance please contact the tannery or its recognised Agents.
