How do I take care of my leather product?

Leather is a natural material and, if properly cared for, will maintain its beauty and patina for many years. Direct exposure to sunlight can cause leather to fade, so always protect leather from sunlight and do not put your leather product close to direct heat.

Our leather Bean Bags shouldn´t require much in the way of maintenance. Some of our lighter shades may need more attention than the darker ones. Regular care of your leather Bean Bag or other leather product will ensure its lasting quality. Over time wrinkles and creases will form naturally to give your Bean Bag a soft inviting look, which will be unique.

LEATHER CARE & MAINTENANCE

For normal maintenance over the years, we suggest the following:
Dust your leather product weekly just as you would a glass table with a dry clean towel.

Once a month clean your leather Bean Bag or other product with a soft damp cloth taking care not to soak the leather.

If the Bean Bag or other product requires a more thorough treatment use a soft damp cloth and a light soapy solution. Apply the solution in circular motions until the dirt is removed. Repeat this process using clean water if necessary. Do NOT use a hair dryer or any other domestic appliance to dry your leather Bean Bag.

Every three to six months, depending on use, clean your leather product with a proper leather conditioner. Only use an approved leather conditioner on your leather Bean Bag or product.

Do not use domestic products, polishes, wax polishes or saddle soap to clean your leather Bean Bag as this can damage the product.

Do not use any other product or method of cleaning that is not recommended by greatbeanbags.com

Do not let belts, buckles, studs, zips or any sharp object come into direct contact with the Bean Bag as this can damage the product.

Avoid drying out the leather by taking care not to position it next to an open fire or next to another source of direct heat. Modern leathers are treated so that they resist heat and flames. DO not hold a naked flame against your leather Bean Bag or leather product.

These cleaning instructions ONLY apply to our leather products and do NOT apply to our suede or other fabric ranges.

Note: All leather will stain from liquids, body oils, and perspiration. We recommend you clean any stains immediately. For stubborn spots and stains, blot excess liquid immediately with a clean, absorbent sponge or cloth. If necessary, use a slightly dampened white cloth and wipe the entire affected area gently two or three times by blotting dry with soft cloth. Do not use a hair dryer to accelerate drying time. Repeat this process as needed and let air dry naturally.

Always test-clean on a hidden area of leather to confirm results before you attempt to apply a treatment. On any leather, there can be some transfer of colour when applying a slightly damped white cloth to stubborn stains. So do not rub it hard, just gentle smooth strokes.
