Caring for Leather: Maintenance Guidelines

Leather, being a natural material, necessitates proper care. When leather is maintained correctly, it develops a more exquisite appearance over time. Below are some recommendations:

– Utilize a soft brush for vacuum cleaning exclusively; avoid soap or water as they may diminish its velvety texture.

– Refrain from applying leather greases or submerging the material.

– Steer clear of chemical products like saddle soap, other leather cleaners, or household items.

– Shield leather from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and sharp objects.

The upkeep of leather is contingent upon its usage patterns, environmental conditions, and frequency of

Wood and finish
Care and maintenance of Wood treated with oil: 

Here at Design Pre-Owned, we exclusively utilize vegetable oils for our treatment process. 

Maintenance Instructions Oil finish

For everyday upkeep, utilize a cloth dampened with lukewarm water. The surface can be revitalised with a fresh oil treatment. In such instances, ensure the surface is thoroughly clean and dry. Apply oil to the chair using a clean cloth, ensuring even distribution. Wipe off any excess oil with another clean dry cloth, always following the wood grain. Allow it to dry, which may take one to two days depending on the type of oil used. The necessary items include vegetable wood surface treatment oil, two clean cloths, and a plastic bag for disposing of oil-soaked cloth. Take care to avoid getting oil on materials like fabric or leather, as oil-treated furniture may leave grease marks until fully set. Hence, refrain from placing the furniture directly on carpets or on surfaces treated with soap for one to two weeks after the last oil treatment.

Caution:

Oil-soaked cloth is flammable and should be disposed of in a sealed container with water or stored in a closed metal container or glass jar.
