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.

Glass

Dust the entire surface carefully to remove any dust (use a soft white cloth).
We advise using normal commercial products for cleaning delicate surfaces.
Rub the surface to be cleaned gently without concentrating just on the area requiring attention: start instead with a larger section and gradually work your way towards the area in the middle.
That way, you will avoid rings or scratches forming, which may be produced if you apply too much pressure to the surface.
Never use solvents or abrasive detergents.

Aluminium - 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.
