FURNITURE
WIPE CAREFULLY WITH A SLIGHTLY DAMP CLOTH, USING SPECIFIC DETERGENTS FOR LACQUERED WOOD OR VENEERED ONE. GLASS DETAILS: USE GLASS CLEANERS, WATER-BASED. METAL DETAILS: USE SPECIFIC CLEANERS FOR METAL. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLOTHS AND SUBSTANCES OR PRODUCTS IN POWDER. DO NOT USE DETERGENTS ON ELECTRICAL PARTS AND AVOID THE CONTACT WITH WATER. MARBLE TOP: WHEN CLEANING MARBLE TOPS, AGGRESSIVE PRODUCTS SUCH AS LIME SCALE REMOVERS, BLEACH AND ALL ACIDS MUST BE AVOIDED. FOR THIS REASON, CARE MUST ALSO BE TAKEN WITH CERTAIN FOODS SUCH AS: VINEGAR, LEMON JUICE, ORANGE JUICE, WINE, OILS, CARBONATED AND/OR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. IF THESE ARE ACCIDENTALLY SPILLED ONTO THE WORKTOP, THEY MUST BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT THEM NOTCHING THE SHINY SURFACE. TO CLEAN MARBLE WE RECOMMEND VERY GENTLE PRODUCTS THAT DO NOT CONTAIN ANY THINNERS OR CORROSIVE SUBSTANCES.
UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE WITH FABRIC COVER
HERE ARE A FEW SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO LOOK AFTER UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE WITH FABRIC COVER, INCLUDING NOT REMOVABLE COVER, AND MAINTAIN IT IN GOOD CONDITIONS OVER THE YEARS. FIRST OF ALL, CLEAN WELL USING A VACUUM CLEANER WITH SOFT BRUSHES TO PREVENT SPOILING THE FABRIC. AFTER READING THE LABEL ON THE COVER, IN THE CASE OF COTTON FABRICS, MORE THOROUGH CLEANING CAN BE DONE TO REMOVE ANY WATER-BASED STAINS. IN THIS CASE, USE A CLOTH DAMPENED IN WATER AND NEUTRAL SOAP, WITHOUT RUBBING. DAB LIGHTLY AND DRY WITH A HAIR DRYER. IN THE CASE OF OIL OR GREASE STAINS, OR THE LIKE, USE TRICHLOROETHYLENE. FOR ANY OTHER TYPE OF FABRIC, USE A SPECIALIZED LAUNDRY, SHOWING THE INSTRUCTION LABEL. TO CLEAN LEATHER, SEE THE SPECIFIC PARAGRAPH. THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO ITS PRODUCTS BY UNSUITABLE CLEANING PROCEDURES.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
FABRIC COVER: EACH FABRIC HAS A CLEANING, IRONING AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS LABEL.
FURNITURE AND UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE COVERED IN LEATHER
LEATHERS ARE MADE FROM THE VERY BEST ITALIAN AND EUROPEAN RAW HIDES. ORIGIN IS ALREADY TO BE CONSIDERED AS A GUARANTEE OF QUALITY, INASMUCH AS THE HIDES OF ANIMALS LIVING IN THESE TEMPERATE ZONES ARE AT LESS RISK OF DAMAGE. DO NOT EXPOSE TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT. A SLIGHT CHANGE IN COLOUR OVER THE YEARS IS NORMAL.
PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT USE NUTRITIVE SUBSTANCES: LEATHER DOES NOT REQUIRE NOURISHING. THE USE OF UNSUITABLE PRODUCTS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO FINISHES. BEFORE USING ANY CLEANING PRODUCT, CHECK ITS EFFECTS ON A HIDDEN AREA. AVOID CONTACT WITH SOLVENTS, ENAMELS, PAINTS OR GLUES.
ANILINE - SEMIANILINE - NUBUCK LEATHER
THESE ARE THE CHARACTERISTIC “FULL GRAIN” LEATHERS WITH SMALL DEFECTS AND A NATURAL APPEARANCE, VERY SOFT AND TRANSPIRING, WITH AN EXCELLENT STRUCTURE. THESE ITEMS ARE MADE FROM THE VERY BEST RAW HIDES. DYEING TAKES PLACE IN LARGE WOODEN TUBS, WHERE THE HIDES ARE SOAKED UNTIL THE DESIRED COLOUR IS OBTAINED. THE NATURAL SURFACE OF THESE LEATHERS WILL NOT CHANGE AND THE STRUCTURE IS RECOGNIZABLE BECAUSE TRANSPARENT DYES.
THIS TRANSPARENCY EFFECT IS SIMILAR TO COLOURED WOOD’S ONE, WHERE THE COLOUR DOES NOT COVER, BUT HIGHLIGHTS THE NATURAL KNOTS AND GRAINS OF THE WOOD. IN FACT THE “GRAIN” REMAINS NATURAL AND CLEARLY VISIBLE. THEREFORE ANILINE LEATHERS FEATURE SOME IMPERFECTIONS – WICH POINT TO ITS NATURALNESS – AND TO THE FACT THAT EVERY HIDE IS UNIQUE. FOR THIS REASON, COLOUR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ONE HIDE AND ANOTHER – AND IN SOME CASES ON THE SAME HIDE – ARE AN INEVITABLE FEATURE OF ANILINE DYED LEATHER.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
THESE TYPES OF HIDES ONLY HAVE A THIN SURFACE COVERING. THE TREATMENT PROTECTS AGAINST ANY STAINS, BUT IN ANY CASE THESE MUST BE IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM THE SURFACE. TO MAINTAIN THE NATURAL BEAUTY, CONSTANT CLEANING AND PROTECTION ARE CRUCIAL, RIGHT FROM THE FIRST USE.
- MAINE, MARYLAND, SUPREME, VELVET LEATHER: FOR THE ROUTINE CLEANING, DUST THE COVER WITH A CLEAN WHITE, DRY AND NON ABRASIVE CLOTH. IN CASE OF DRY DIRT ON SUEDE LEATHER, BRUSH DELICATELY WITH A SOFT-BRISTLED BRUSH. IF DRINK OR OILY SUBSTANCES ACCIDENTALLY SPILLS ON THE LEATHER, DELICATELY REMOVE THE STAIN FROM THE SURFACE USING BLOTTING PAPER: DO NOT APPLY PRESSURE, TO PREVENT DIRT PENETRATING INTO THE PORES OF THE LEATHER. AFTERWARDS, RUB THE STAIN DELICATELY USING A CLEAN AND DRY CLOTH. DO NOT DRY IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR USING A HAIR DRYER.
- VERMONT LEATHER: LEATHER FOR FURNITURE AND TABLES UNDERGO A SPECIAL RETARDANT-EFFECT TREATMENT: STAINS WILL BE ABSORBED ONLY AFTER ABOUT ONE HOUR. HOWEVER, FOR SUCCESSFUL CLEANING, IT IS BETTER TO REMOVE THE STAIN AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED ABOVE.
PIGMENTED LEATHERS
PIGMENTED LEATHERS ARE THE MOST RESISTANT, ABOVE ALL TO LIGHT AND SCRATCHES, AND THEY ARE EASY TO LOOK AFTER THANKS TO THE APPLICATION OF PIGMENTS AND RESINS, FOLLOWED BY A PROTECTIVE COVERING. PRINTED LEATHERS ARE FINISHED BY APPLYING ANILINE MANUALLY AND A SLIGHT CHANGE IN COLOUR OVER THE YEARS IS PERFECTLY NORMAL.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
- NUVOLA LEATHER: FOR ROUTINE CLEANING USE A SUITABLE PRODUCT PURCHASED FROM A SPECIALISED DEALER OR LEATHER GOODS STORE, IN ALTERNATIVE IT IS POSSIBLE TO BUY THE LUXURY LIVING LEATHER CLEANING SET.
