Leather

Under normal usage/conditions regular dusting and vacuum cleaning in crevices or bottoms is all that is necessary to clean your furniture. The use of a good leather conditioner is recommended every 6-12 months. For minor spots and spills, wipe up any excess liquid immediately with a clean absorbent cloth or sponge. If necessary, use a lightly moistened soft cloth with clean lukewarm water and let air dry naturally. If water is used, clean the entire area where the spot occurred. Do not use soap or soak the stain heavily with water. This may cause more damage than the stain itself. If the stain persists, it is recommended that the leather be cleaned by a professional leather specialist to avoid any potential damage to the leather. For butter, oil, or grease wipe off excess with a clean dry cloth and then leave alone as the spot should dissipate into the leather after a short period of time.
Do not use saddle soap, cleaning solvents, furniture polish, oils, varnish, abrasive cleaners, detergent soaps, or ammonia water. To minimize fading, avoid placing furniture in direct sunlight or heat. Always try any cleaning method in a hidden area first to convince yourself of the results. For minor or slight scratches on the surface, use a chamois or clean fingers to gently buff the scratch. If needed, moisten lightly with distilled water to work scratches out. Remember that leather is a natural product and requires some care to maintain the natural beauty of the hide.

Wood

Dust regularly with a damp cloth. Wipe dry. Irregularities such as sapwood, knots, and uneven coloration should be expected in natural wood. These character marks are a part of the inherent beauty of natural woods. Over time, air and daylight will change the color of natural wood. Occasionally rotate items placed on the wood to allow a uniform color to develop.
To ensure even coloration of extension table leaves, expose them to the same light as your table. Once the leaves have reached mature coloration, they may be stored flat and top-down. Fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels may cause wood to warp, swell, or shrink. Keeping furniture doors closed will help minimize changes in this most commonly affected part of the furniture. Avoid contact with rubber bumpers and candle wax; they may react with the wood's finish and leave a stain.

 

Metal

Dust regularly with a damp cloth. Wipe dry. Don’t use harsh chemicals or cleaning solutions. Wipe spills immediately to avoid any potential rust.
