Care of smooth leather

New smooth leather furniture is clean, but not always optimally protected. By treating it properly in advance, you can prevent many problems in the future and keep your smooth leather furniture looking like new for as long as possible.

Step-by-step plan for initial treatment

1. Treatment
   We recommend treating smooth leather furniture with a protective lotion or cream from the Leather Care Kit. This nourishes the leather, prevents drying out and forms a protective layer against dirt and stains. Apply the product with a soft, lint-free cloth and rub it in evenly using circular movements.

2. Drying and curing
   Allow the product to soak in and dry thoroughly before using the furniture.

In the hospitality industry, smooth leather furniture is exposed to frequent spills, crumbs, and wear and tear. With a few regular routines, you can keep it looking fresh and well-maintained.

Step-by-step maintenance plan during use

1. Weekly dusting: To keep your smooth leather furniture in top condition, regular maintenance is sufficient. Dust the furniture weekly with a soft, dry cloth.

2. Removing stains on a daily basis: When a stain occurs, it is important to act quickly. Blot liquids immediately with a clean, dry cloth without rubbing. For grease stains, talcum powder can help to draw the grease out of the leather; leave it for a few hours and then brush it off carefully. Stubborn stains can be removed with a special cleaning agent for smooth leather. Always test this on an inconspicuous area first. Remove surface dirt with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents or scouring pads, as these can damage the leather.

3. Extra care: For extra care, you can treat the leather several times a year with a nourishing lotion.

After a busy season or intensive use, the smooth leather may look a little dull or stained. In that case, a thorough cleaning is required.

Step-by-step plan for large maintenance

1. Deep cleaning: Clean the leather thoroughly with a special leather cleaner to remove accumulated dirt and skin oils.
2. Aftercare: Next, apply a generous amount of nourishing lotion or cream to replenish the leather and prevent it from drying out. Allow the product to soak in thoroughly.
3. Finishing touches: Then gently rub with a dry, clean cloth for an even finish. This intensive treatment keeps the leather supple and strong and preserves its luxurious appearance.

To keep your smooth leather furniture looking like new for as long as possible, proper maintenance is important. Do not place the furniture in direct sunlight or close to heat sources, as this can cause drying and discolouration. Treat the leather at least twice a year with a nourishing cream or lotion and keep dirt and moisture out of the pores of the material as much as possible. With the right care, smooth leather will retain its luxurious appearance and your furniture will remain an eye-catcher in your hospitality business for years to come.
