Know your leather! Some of our leather pieces have no additional sealant or insoluble dyes applied, as this would diminish the positive, natural characteristics of the leather and would make it feel coarse. As a result, aniline leather is more sensitive to stains and other external factors, such as temperature fluctuations and light. Direct exposure to sunlight—UV light—should therefore be avoided to prevent the leather from fading and drying out.

As with all 100% leather products, our sofas and chairs will show signs of wear over time, giving the items a unique patina. Accordingly, the leather should be treated to maintain its suppleness and reduce the absorption of dirt and oils, rather than to restore the leather’s color.

Clean with a slightly damp, colorfast rag, moistened with warm water and a small amount of mild soap. You can also use leather-specific cleaners and wipes. Whichever you are using, be sure to dry the leather thoroughly with a soft cloth.

The faster you’re able to soak up spills, the better. Paper towels are great for this, as are colorfast cloths. Absorb as much of the spill as possible, then spot clean as needed with a soft cloth dampened with warm water, and air dry. More stubborn stains may require professional cleaning.

For regular cleaning, we recommend gently vacuuming the fabric with your vacuum’s upholstery attachment.

Velvet

Velvet pieces should then be smoothed with a velvet brush in the direction of the pile. Heavily used pieces should be cleaned once a week. Direct exposure to sunlight should be avoided to prevent fading.

As is the case with upholstery spills, the faster you’re able to soak it up, the better. Paper towels are great for this, as are colorfast cloths. Absorb as much of the spill as possible, then wipe clean with a soft cloth, and air dry.

For regular cleaning, moisten a soft cloth (microfiber is great for this purpose) with warm water and mild soap, or a high-quality, natural wood cleaner. Work in the direction of the wood grain, then wipe dry. Avoid using abrasive soaps, all-purpose household cleaners and mixtures containing boiled linseed oil, turpentine or white vinegars.

As marble is a product of nature, the veining pattern and intensity differs per type of marble and is unique for each item. Whether the stone is very mottled and veined or has very few veins is therefore beyond our control. While the marble should, of course, never be cracked or broken, our products may show small imperfections, such as marks and blemishes, that naturally developed during the formation of the marble stone.

Marble is a porous stone and therefore easily absorbs liquids. The extent to which liquids can permeate marble differs per type and color of the stone. However, because marble is a porous stone and therefore easily absorbs liquids, a protective sealant should be applied before use to protect the marble against grease and dirt.

Since the coat of sealant will wear away over time, we recommend repeating this treatment as needed, according to sealant solution package instructions. Please note that marble should not be exposed to hot objects or acidic liquids. Use coasters and wipe up spills immediately.

1. COLOR INTENSIFIER

This product enhances the marble’s color and brings it back to life, while also nourishing and protecting the stone against dirt and staining by water or other liquids. Suitable for dark marble, such as green and black marble.

Moisten a soft cloth (microfiber is great for this purpose) with warm water and mild soap. Wipe clean with a cloth dampened with water alone and dry thoroughly. Do not use solvents or abrasive kitchen cleaners. You can also try a melamine foam sponge for buffing and tricky stains.

Garment dyes can bleed onto lighter-colored plastics.

Many mild stains can be removed from galvanized steel with the use of all-purpose cleansers. For regular cleaning, wipe down with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

This is the only steel covered under our outdoor warranty.

Moisten a soft cloth with warm water and mild soap. Wipe clean with a cloth dampened with water alone and dry thoroughly. Do not use any harsh abrasives or cleaning solutions.

Fixtures only require a light dusting to stay beautiful. For periodic deeper cleaning, moisten a soft cloth (microfiber is great for this purpose) with warm water and very mild soap. Using gentle pressure, wipe clean with a cloth dampened with water alone and dry thoroughly.
