CLEANING & PROTECTION

Caring for leather
Leather is a living material that becomes more beautiful over time if cared for correctly. Never place leather in direct sunlight. Never place a radiator closer than 20-30cm before the leather. Vacuum clean frequently with a soft brush, and clean surfaces subjected to heavy wear, such as arm and side areas, as required. Water-soluble stains are easily removed by soaking and blotting with kitchen paper. Never attempt to remove problem stains with strong solvents or chemical products. You could end up with a bigger problem that requires repairs. 

Cleaning and protection
To provide the best possible care for your leather, Elmo has developed a waterbased leather care programme including a cleansing product (Leather Cleaner) and a protective product (Leather Protection).

Leather Cleaner
The Leather Cleaner cleans the leather gently and delicately, which means it can be used frequently without risk of drying out the leather. Areas subjected to heavy wear, such as armrests, benefit from frequent cleaning. L

Leather Protection
This product impregnates the leather, protects it from spills and stains and keeps it soft and supple. We recommend you treat your leather upholstery with Leather Protection after cleaning, ideally twice a year. Suitable for all Elmo leather, except Nubuck.  

How to remove stains on leather

Chewing gum
Cool down the spot. Ice-cubes in a plastic bag work well. Remove the chewing gum as soon as it has become cold /stiff. If there are still remainders; heat with a hair-dryer and lift away carefully using tape.

Fat greasy spots
Take away the redundancy. Dab / soak with a dry cloth. Leave the remaining fat as is - and it will over time 'wander' into the leather.
