Velluto will require particular 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 particularly important with nubuck type leathers.
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 recommend the use of Leather Master products for nubuck leathers to spot clean and to revitalise your leather.
Ensure that usage of any cleaning or nourishment product follows the manufacturer’s instructions and that before applying, you test on an unobtrusive area of your leather.
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.
