Leather & Fabrics – for Furniture
Furniture is an investment worth being protected.
This information concerning products is disclosing the characteristics and maintenance of natural leather and fabrics.
Worth knowing about surface treatment of leather
Be aware of buying cheap types of By-Cast and Bonded leather (China-leather). These types are not real leather and cannot be compared to genuine leather for furniture.
Maintenance of Leather
Never place your leather furniture closer than 30 cm from a radiator or in direct sunlight.

Maintenance of Leather
Leather is a very beautiful material, and thus often seen in the office space. An additional benefit of this material is that it is very durable. However, your leather furniture should be properly maintained. You can do this by occasionally wiping the leather sofa or chair with a damp cloth, in order to softly remove build-up dust and dirt. Please make sure that your cloth is not too wet, because that will leave your furniture with stains on the leather.
You should also make sure that your leather office furniture is not placed in the sunniest spot of your office space, as too much exposure to sunlight will make the leather dry out. Even when you strictly adhere to these maintenance measures, your leather furniture may start to look a bit old and dried out at some point.
When this happens, it is best to treat it with leather wax. This will give your leather office furniture a boost, helping it last for years!

Fabrics – for Furniture
Often consist of wool, cotton or linen, sometimes combined with synthetic fibers as e.g. polyester, acrylic polypropylene, and nylon in order to improve the abrasive resistance.Abrasive resistance is indicated in Martindales. The recommended minimum for normal daily use is 18.000 rubs, for special hard use as in institutions, public offices and the like the Martindale should be from 30.000 – 45.000 rubs.
Be aware of the fact that rough fabrics like denim and others are wearing out more profoundly on upholstery and leather.
Be careful with the trace of colours from jeans. As soon as the damage is done, it cannot be repaired.
Cleaning more thoroughly: Wipe off the whole surface with a clean and soft cloth which was wringed in soapy water of ¼ dl clean soap flakes and 1 l demineralised water or tepid and boiled water – remove immediately any surplus soap and re-polish the whole surface in order to avoid any discolorations.
