Leather Care Instructions

Do's

• Dust regularly: Use a dry, soft microfiber cloth to wipe down the surface weekly to prevent grit from scratching the leather.
• Blot spills immediately: Gently press a clean, dry, absorbent white cloth onto any liquid spills to lift the moisture without spreading it.
• Use specialized leather cleaners: Apply a high quality, pH balanced leather cleaner specifically formulated for upholstery when deeper cleaning is necessary.
• Condition periodically: Apply a premium leather conditioner every six to twelve months to maintain natural oils, preserve suppleness, and prevent cracking.
• Test new products first: Always apply any cleaner or conditioner to a small, hidden area before treating the entire piece to check for color changes or adverse reactions.
• Maintain ideal room placement: Position leather pieces away from direct heat sources like radiators, heating vents, or fireplaces to prevent the material from drying out.

Dont's

• Do not rub or scrub: Avoid wiping forcefully during a spill, as rubbing pushes liquids deeper into the pores and can permanently damage the top finish.
• Do not use harsh household chemicals: Avoid all multi surface sprays, glass cleaners, detergents, bleach, ammonia, or silicone based furniture polishes.
• Do not use abrasive materials: Never use stiff brushes, scouring pads, or rough cloths that can micro scratch or strip the leather protective coating.
• Do not apply excess water: Avoid soaking the leather or using soaking wet cloths, as standing water leaves mineral rings and weakens fiber structures.
• Do not use heat to dry: Never use a hair dryer, space heater, or iron to speed up drying times if a spill occurs; instead, allow the leather to air dry naturally.
• Do not expose to prolonged direct sunlight: Avoid placing items directly under unprotected windows, as continuous UV exposure fades pigments and accelerates drying.

General Information

Over time, your leather furniture may not look the same as it did when you purchased it. This is perfectly normal and is part of the unique appeal of leather. Leather ages beautifully, each product taking on its own patina as it ages.

Leather has some subtle markings caused by the healed nicks and cuts that occur during the life of the animal. These natural markings give each furniture product its unique beauty and character.

Some of the natural markings, which are indicative in nature, are shown below:

The above category of natural markings doesn't qualify for warranty or replacement as it is the natural phenomenon of leather. In such cases Danube Home may at its sole discretion accept or deny replacement/exchange/refund requests raised against the leather furniture products.

Leather is soft, supple, durable and resistant. To keep it that way, it is important to care for your leather properly.

To maintain the quality of the leather furniture, please follow the cleaning procedures outlined below.
