leather type.
LEATHER TYPE - NUBUCK (CLEANING CODE = N)
CHARACTERISTICS
Comfort: Excellent
Natural Markings: Visible
Color: Shading is normal
Clean ability: Moderate*
Resistance to Fading: Low
* Clean ability is dramatically increased with regular use of Leather Master
Nubuck Protector.
Leather Care Tips
Try to maintain at least two feet between your furniture and heating
sources. Prolonged exposure to heat vents or radiators will cause your
leather to dry out.
Protect your furniture from all sources of sunlight. All Nubuck leathers
will fade when exposed to direct sunlight. Do not place your furniture by
windows, under skylights or any place where your furniture is in the
sunlight.
Keep the leather dust-free with weekly vacuuming. Use Leather Master Nubuck
Cleaning Cloth to pick up surface soiling and return the leather to its
original look and feel.. Simply wrap the cloth around a soft dry sponge and
rub the leather in several directions to lift soiling and renew the Nubuck
effect. This will also reverse flat and shiny areas that appear from use.
All leathers perform better when preventative maintenance is practiced.
Treatment of the surface with Leather Master Nubuck Protector will greatly
improve the leathers resistance to staining and soiling. It is most
important that you treat the high use areas like seats, backs, and arms.
For water based stains use Leather Master Nubuck Cleaner. Apply the cleaner
to a soft sponge and squeeze to produce a white foam. Gently work the foam
into the area with the sponge. Allow to dry and use the Nubuck Cleaning
Cloth to renew Nubuck effect. Then apply Nubuck Protector. For oil based
stains use the Leather Master Degreaser.
LEATHER TYPE - ANILINE (CLEANING CODE = A)

Comfort: Excellent
Natural Markings: Visible

Nubuck Protection Cream.

Leather Care Tips
Try to maintain at least two feet between your furniture and heating
sources. Prolonged exposure to heat vents or radiators will cause your
leather to dry out.
Avoid placing your furniture in direct sunlight. All materials will fade
over time when placed in direct sunlight. Aniline leathers are especially
sensitive to sunlight. Do not place Aniline leathers near windows or under
skylights.
Like all items in your home, leather can accumulate dust. Lightly dampen a
soft cloth with Leather Master Soft Cleaner and dust weekly. You may also
use the soft brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. With leather you can
fully remove dust particles from the surface making it ideal for dust
sensitive persons.
All leathers perform better when preventative maintenance is practiced. For
Aniline and Protected leathers, apply Leather Master Protection Cream to the
surface of the leather to help resist staining and prevent overall soiling.
It is most important that you treat the high use areas like seats, backs,
and arms.
As a general rule, fully clean your furniture with Leather Master Soft
cleaner at least every six months to remove dirt as well as the gradual
accumulation of body oils and perspiration. Aniline leathers are very
absorbent and may require more frequent cleaning when used in high use areas
like a TV room. After cleaning, reapply Protection Cream to the leather to
renew the protection level.
Never use harsh chemicals or cleaning agents on your leather furniture.
Avoid all products containing solvents or oils because they may negatively
affect the surface of the leather.
