Brunel will require care and maintenance to continually offer the lasting beauty and comfort that only leather can provide.
Protect from direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure may cause the leather to fade over time. This is especially important with nubuck leather.
Protect leather from direct heat sources and heating vents. Vacuum regularly using soft brush attachments to remove dust & grit.
Remove spills by blotting with a soft & absorbent colourfast cloth.
We recommends the use of Guardsman products for nubuck leathers to clean and maintain your leather.
Treatment products should be tested on an unobtrusive area before applying to visible areas.
Do not use detergents, solvents or abrasive cleaners. Do not dry clean or machine wash.
Deterioration arising from incorrect or inadequate maintenance are not considered faults in the leather and will void any warranty.
