When cleaning items partly made from leather, take care not to damage the other materials with the specific leather product.

Before cleaning greasy stains or liquids, quickly mop up any surplus.

Before cleaning, wipe off any residues liable to scuff the leather, using a cloth that has been dampened with demineralised water and thoroughly wrung out.

Clean leather using a soft cloth moistened with soapy water or a pH-neutral product. Dry with a soft, dry cloth.
