How to Care for Your New Natuzzi Natural Leather Group

This article was taken from Natuzzi’s website as a way to explain and convey information about Natural tanned leather products.

Natural hides generally require more delicate care than protected hides, so the instructions shown here to clean your natural piece can also be used interchangeably with your protected leather hide sofa.

1. Natural leather collection

   The Natural leather products are processed without changing the original characteristics of the hides. The presence of healed scars, differences in grain, wrinkles, veining, differences in color shades and any trace that nature has left on these hides, is proof that they are absolutely genuine and bears witness to their great worth.

   Cleaning the Natural leather collection

   Periodically dust using a clean, dry and non-abrasive white cloth.
   For dry dirt: brush delicately using a brush with soft bristles or use a vacuum cleaner at the medium suction power setting, using the specific accessory supplied with the cleaner and taking care to avoid rubbing the accessory directly against the covering.
   For stains caused by substances soluble in water (soft drinks, coffee, tea, milk, marmalade): rapidly remove the liquid from the surface using a white, non-abrasive cloth (or absorbent paper). Then rub delicately working from the outside of the stain towards the center, using a clean cloth soaked in water. Do not soak the leather surface, and dry immediately using a dry cloth.

   Do not dry the leather in direct sunlight or with a hair dryer.

   For stains caused by greasy substances oil, ketchup, mayonnaise, chocolate): remove the substance delicately from the surface using absorbent paper, taking care not exert pressure to prevent the dirt from entering the pores of the leather. Use a clean cloth, soaked in a very dilute solution of neutral soap, rubbing delicately working from the outside towards the center of the stain.
   Dry immediately using a clean cloth. Only use water and colorless, mild soap.

   Warning

   Position the sofa at least 50 cm. from sources of heat such as heaters or radiators.
   Avoid exposing the sofa to direct sunlight or to powerful lamps to ensure the color of the covering remains bright.
   The above listed causes, as well as the use of unapproved detergent substances, may irreparably damage the leather covering, causing cracks and changes in color.
   If you purchase a new sofa, with a covering that is an identical article and/or is of the same color as the sofa that you already own, it is possible that you may note slight differences in shades of color between the two, because of the unique personality of each hide.
