Care/cleaning of leather covers

Operation

Care/cleaning of leather covers

Work mild, lukewarm soap into the dirt using a soft sponge in circular movements from the outside in. Apply light pressure when doing this.

Note:

Always work on the dirt from the outside in so that the dirt is not spread over the fabric.

Caution:

Do not use cleaning products containing solvents (e.g. cleaning benzine, acetone, alcohol, etc.). This would damage the micro-fibre covers and equipment parts made of plastic or foam beyond repair.

Remove the used soap using a clean, soft sponge. Wait until the freshly cleaned areas are completely dry.

Caution:

The covers must be completely dry before they are used again. Permanent pressure marks could otherwise form.

Finally, brush the cover and the cleaned areas using a soft brush following the nap of the fabric.

Caution:

If in any doubt, use a professional textile cleaning company.

Danger.

Observe the general information/safety notes in this section.

Caution:

Only use distilled water for cleaning to prevent chalky outlines or water marks.

Caution:

Avoid direct sunlight to prevent the colours being bleached out.

Note:

Regular care and basic cleaning help to maintain the value and high-quality appearance of leather covers, as well as the long-term durability and suppleness of the leather. For this reason, carry out basic cleaning at least four times a year. Carry out basic cleaning more regularly, depending on use and the level of dirt.

Basic cleaning - every quarter

Remove coarse dirt with a very soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.

Caution:

Do not use a sharp-edged vacuuming nozzle or a brush which is too hard, otherwise the leather could be irreparably damaged.

Moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with distilled water. Wipe leather upholstery down with a damp cloth.

Caution:

Do not use a cloth or sponge with a coarse surface, otherwise this could scratch or irreparably damage the leather upholstery.

Caution:

Leather upholstery must be dried completely before it is used again, as otherwise permanent pressure marks may form.

Removing stains

Caution:

Remove dirt as quickly as possible to avoid permanent stains and prevent damage to the covers.

Remove as much dirt as possible using a soft, lint-free cloth. Work a mild, lukewarm soap gently into the dirty areas. Then wipe the dirt away using a clean cloth. Remove the soap used using clean, distilled water. Operation

Care/cleaning of leather covers

Note:

Any dirt and soap which remains must be completely removed. If in doubt, rinse again.

Note:

To prevent outlines forming, a wider area around the mark should always be treated.

Then dry the cleaned area with a hairdryer using circular movements at a distance of between 30 and 40 cm on a medium heat setting.

Caution:

The leather covers must be completely dry before they are used again. Permanent pressure marks could otherwise form.
