Maintenance

Cover (Alfa, Beta, Gamma, Koto leather)

For regular cleaning, we recommend a weekly dusting with a soft cotton cloth. If the cover is stained, promptly remove the cause and dry the affected area.
Finally, wipe with a sponge dampened with water and mild detergent (or water and milk).
Wipe with a gentle circular motion and work from the outside of the stain toward the inside.
The action should be more like a skin massage than mechanical rubbing.
Before applying any product over broad areas, it is advisable to test the effectiveness of the procedure by applying the product on a small, hidden area, even though the product may be specifically designed for the material.
After cleaning, apply a solution of water and milk to restore the protective qualities and softness of the leather.
Remember that leather treated with aniline is highly absorbent and may require more frequent cleaning when subjected to heavy-duty use in high-traffic areas.
Two or three times a year, we recommend applying products included in the 'Kit for leather maintenance and cleaning' by B&B Italia (code SETPN) using a soft cloth. The kit is available from our Stores and dealers.

Cover (Kasia leather)

Regularly clean with a soft, dry cotton cloth to release the dust from the pores. Avoid strenuous rubbing.
If the cover is stained, immediately pat the stain with a paper towel or dry cloth. Try to absorb the stain without vigorous rubbing.
Never apply a liquid on this leather - not even detergent specially designed for cleaning it.
For further information on Kasia leather, kindly read the attached brochure.

Upholstery

Manually punch the cushions on all sides, fluff them up to air the padding and restore the original volume.
For best results, remove the cushion covers regularly, knead and fluff up the padding, and air it possibly outdoors before slipping on the cover once again.
If possible, periodically change the position of the most used cushions with the less used ones.

Polypropylene

Dust the product regularly to prevent dust build-up and to maintain the original look and conditions.
To eliminate impurities (e.g. dirt, stains), use a soft white cotton cloth damp with water or a solution of water and neutral detergent. Be careful to not use excessive pressure.
Do not use abrasive products, alcohol and chemical solvents.
Pay particular attention to contact with cosmetics (e.g. lipstick, foundation, mascara, nail polish, creams) and drinks such as fruit juice, because these are difficult to remove.
Since the polypropylene weave is a textile product, we advise users to avoid mechanical rubbing, scratches and all improper uses that could cause the threads to become frayed.

Wood - Painting

For weekly maintenance, dust the surface with a dry cloth.
For dried dirt, use a well-squeezed out cloth, damp with warm water.
For greasy or oily dirt, use a damp sponge and dish washing detergent, and then wipe with a well-squeezed out cloth damp with warm water.
Warning! Apply the detergent directly on the damp sponge, and never on directly on the furniture.
Do not exert excessive pressure and always follow the grain on wood furniture.
Note that if you press or rub too hard, surfaces can become 'polished'.
Avoid using abrasives and products containing solvents, ammonia and/or alcohol.
Make sure to dry the surfaces completely after washing.

Steel

We advise using normal commercial products for cleaning delicate surfaces and/or warm water and neutral soap.
Never use abrasives or products containing solvents, ammonia and/or alcohol.
Make sure to dry the surfaces completely after washing.
