Maintenance

Thick leather

Any stains or liquids should be removed immediately using a moist, absorbent cloth and plain soap, if necessary.
Any stains or liquids should be removed immediately using a moist, absorbent cloth and plain soap, if necessary.
Never apply excessive pressure during cleaning.

Cover

For home washing of covers, follow the symbols on the technical sheet that came with the product.
Periodically adjust the Velcro fasteners to remove folds and creases due to normal use of the product.
If there are no Velcro fasteners, smooth the cover manually from the inside towards the outside.
For ordinary cleaning, dust with a soft dry cotton cloth.
If liquids should accidentally fall on the surface, remove them immediately and dry with paper towels.
The surface can then be cleaned with a white cotton or microfibre cloth, slightly damp with water and neutral soap, and then dried in a well-ventilated place.
In case of stains, act immediately to blot the stain with a clean white cloth and, if necessary, remove the dirt with a spoon or knife, using the flat part horizontally and being very careful to not ruin the cover.
Dab the stain from the outer edges inward to avoid rings.
All actions must be done with circular movements, without exerting excessive mechanical pressure.
Our Stores and dealers sell the specific 'Kit for leather maintenance and cleaning' by B&B Italia (code SETPN), which contains products suitable for the protection and cleaning of your leather product.

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.

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.
