Even synthetic leather must be kept hygienic and clean. Solvent-based, alkaline or abrasive cleaning products can damage the material. Hard surface cleaners (floor cleaners, plastic cleaners etc.) may clean effectively at first glance, but they damage the synthetic leather in the long term. If sweat, body lotions and grease are not removed, these can also damage the surface. Colourful cushions, blankets or clothing may transfer colour onto the surface. These discolorations must be removed immediately. Excessive wear (stretching at stress points) can also damage the material.
We recommend using mild hand soap (neutral soap) lathered onto a sponge to regularly clean heavily used areas. After that, gently pat dry with a dry towel and never rub forcefully. Important: Stains or discolorations should be treated IMMEDIATELY with a soft brush and mild soapy foam, and absorbed with a dry towel. Never grease synthetic leather or apply any body lotions or leather care products. The protective function of the synthetic leather’s flexible surface can become damaged by rough fabrics, fasteners on clothing, or sharp edges. We recommend renewing this protection against wear and dirt once or twice a year with our Musterring SYNTHETIC LEATHER CARE KIT.
