Leather
Never place leather furniture closer than 20–30 cm to a radiator or in direct sunlight.
Vacuum clean leather often with a soft brush and, when necessary, clean any exposed surfaces, such as armrests and headrests. For stains that are water-soluble, dampen the area and dry using a paper towel.
If you should get a stain that cannot be removed, never experiment with strong solvents or chemicals. The whole chair can be cleaned with Elmo cleaning foam and sponge. Foam the leather, let the foam stay for a couple of minutes and wipe away. The chair can be disinfected with Unisepta wipes. Other conditioners and cleaning products meant specifically for leather can also be used.
Some dyed textiles might stain light-coloured leather.
