FABRIC CARE

Important notice

Failure to follow the conditions listed in this care section of our warranty could result in limitations to the coverage.

We suggest a maintenance program that includes frequent dusting to eliminate dust from clogging the pores of the leather and monthly cleaning with a clean cotton cloth and lukewarm distilled water. For full aniline leathers, we recommend only dusting the furniture. Please contact a retailer should you not know what type of leather you have purchased.

It is very important to note that you should never place your leather furniture near a source of heat or expose it to direct or indirect sunlight as it will fade.

FOR SPOTS AND STAINS

Be sure to follow the cleaning method recommended for the particular fabric on your piece. Simply look for the cleaning code, which will be found on the Elite Leather Company label underneath the seat cushion. The label will indicate the cleaning code of W, WS, S or X.

eVERYDAY uPKEEP

With all fabric types, we recommend that you frequently vacuum or brush lightly to remove dust and grime to prevent overall soiling. When an overall soiled condition has been reached, use a professional furniture cleaning service.

Cleaning Spots and Spills

Use the Cleaning Code as your guide to clean spots and spills. No matter what cleaning method you use, always be sure to pre-test a small area before proceeding.

CAUTION: Never remove cushion covers for separate dry cleaning or washing, even though they do have zippers. Do not use bleach or any tumble method cleaning service, as this may shrink, destroy the fabric backing, otherwise damage the fabric.

Cleaning Code W

You can spot clean using the foam only from a water-based cleaning agent, such as a mild detergent or non-solvent upholstery shampoo. Apply foam with a soft rag or brush in a circular motion. Vacuum when dry.

Cleaning Code WS

Spot clean with a mild solvent and upholstery shampoo, or the foam from a mild detergent. When using a solvent or dry cleaning product, follow instructions carefully and clean only in a well-ventilated room. Avoid any product which contains carbon tetrachloride, which is highly toxic.

Cleaning Code S

Spot clean using a mild WATER-FREE solvent or dry cleaning product. Clean only in a well-ventilated room and avoid any product containing carbon tetrachloride, which is highly toxic. Do not use bleach at any time. The use of steam or water- based cleaners may cause excessive shrinking or staining of this particular fabric.

Cleaning Code X

ONLY clean this type of fabric by vacuuming or light brushing. Water-based cleaners or solvent-based cleaning agents OF ANY KIND may cause excessive shrinking, staining, or distortion of the surface pile and therefore should not be used.
