Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For general cleaning, wipe gently with a lightly dampened white cloth and allow to dry naturally. Treat spills immediately by blotting with absorbent paper — do not rub. Use only recommended leather cleaners and protectors; avoid multi-purpose or household cleaning products. Always test any product on a hidden area first. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent colour fading or drying. Do not use solvents, heat guns or shrink wrapping. For domestic use, fully clean and re-protect every 6 months. For contract use, clean as often as necessary.

Hides in this range average 5 m² (approx. 54 sq ft). As a natural material, every hide varies slightly in size and shape, so allow for this when calculating quantities. See the hide diagram for typical dimensions and regions. Download the hide diagram.

Pigmented leather has a protective colour finish that gives an even, consistent appearance and covers most natural markings, making it especially hard-wearing. Slight variation between batches can still occur.
