Instruction manual
1
Clean your leather furniture regularly with a vacuum cleaner - so the pores on the surface of the material will always be clean. In addition, wipe your skin from time to time with a damp cloth moistened with soapy water or a special leather furniture care product. This will protect it from drying out and prevent cracking. Especially carefully clean and wipe the seams, as they always clog a lot of dust. Once a year, use special products for the skin - the so-called cosmetics for furniture. You can wipe sofas and chairs with sponges soaked in stearic grease.
2
To dry the skin after wet cleaning, do not use heaters, hair dryers; just wipe the surface with a dry cloth. In general, try not to put such furniture in the sun or near batteries, as the skin is susceptible to temperature extremes, which cause cracks and shedding of the dye.
3
Even with regular cleaning, you can not insure furniture from unforeseen situations, for example, children will paint a chair with felt-tip pens, you will spill wine or coffee on the sofa. Such troubles can forever ruin the appearance of leather furniture, so you need to act quickly. If something spills onto the skin, take a rag and remove any remaining liquid so that it does not leak. Then use absorbent paper or gauze so that the base of the filler is not wet. To remove the stain from the wine, wipe it with a cloth soaked in a light alcohol solution.
4
Traces of tea, coffee or dirt can be removed with a soft, damp cloth or cotton wool. Wet a piece of cotton wool in a soapy solution and rub the stain in a circular motion, then dry with a dry cloth. But do not rub, do not press on the skin. Do not use acetone, turpentine, abrasive powders and pastes to clean the skin.
5
Stains from felt-tip pens or ballpoint pens can be removed with adhesive tape. Stick it on the track, press and pull. If this does not help, moisten the cotton wool with rubbing alcohol and wipe the stain, then treat with a stearic sponge. If chewing gum is stuck to the leather furniture, attach ice in the bag to it, wait for it to solidify, then scrape it off with some dull object.
6
If you are not comfortable with special liquids for cleaning leather furniture, use folk remedies. You can clean the skin with natural milk. Wet a soft sponge in milk, wring and wipe the furniture. After that, the surface will become shiny and soft.
