Care & Clean

A guide on how to keep all types of leathers clean and in immaculate condition.

Leather should be wiped regularly with a dry soft cloth in order to prevent accumulation of dust. Never use detergents to clean leather. Dab spills immediately with a soft dry absorbent cloth.

Condition your leather approximately every 6-12 months using a good quality hide food which contains softening and nourishing agents.

We recommend

Hanitan Complete Leather Care Conditioner, which is suitable for all leather types.

For leather types that absorb liquids/perspiration, we recommend you use Hanitan Leather Protector.
This product should be used before the leather is damaged as it prevents liquids from being absorbed.

SEMI-ANILINE LEATHER

SAUVAGE TYPE CARE

Alpine’s Cumulus Leather (Bovine) is a semi-aniline product that is dyed through, slightly corrected and then pigmented. The first pigmentation process is lighter and the final is a darker shadow spray application.

As this leather is finished and conditioned, it is not necessary to apply any cleaners or conditioners – simply dust and wipe with a damp cloth occasionally.

NO AEROSOL PRODUCTS ARE TO BE USED ON THIS LEATHER TYPE

Failure to follow these instructions will render our guarantee null and void.

All semi-aniline leathers are fairly light sensitive and to avoid fading should be kept away from windows and direct sunlit areas.

LEATHER UPPERS CARE

Leather Uppers is a name given to Alpine suites covered in:
Genuine leather on all body contact areas and imitation/synthetic leather on the non-body contact areas.

GENUINE LEATHER AREAS:

All that is needed to care for your leather suite is to dust your suite regularly with a soft damp cloth. Dirt can be removed by wiping down with warm water and soap. DO NOT use solvents or detergents.

Condition the genuine leather areas approximately every 9-12 months, using good quality hide food which contains softening and nourishing agents. This will prevent leather from drying out and cracking over time.
We recommend: Hanitan Complete Leather Care Conditioner, which is suitable for all leather types.

For more information on this product, contact the retailer from where you purchased your lounge suite from.

SYNTHETIC AREAS:

Dust regularly with a soft damp cloth. Dirt can be removed by washing with warm water and soap. Do not use hide food, solvents, detergents or furniture polish, as this will cause synthetic to harden and crack.
