These are the only cleaning products that are tested and recommended by Stressless®. We do not accept responsibility if alternative cleaning products are used and result in damage to the leather.

Leathers

Stressless®
care kits

The Stressless®Leather Care Kit (medium/large) contains a leather cleaner and protection cream. Stressless®Leather Care Wipes are also available.

For maintenance and to make the leather more resistant to stains, the protective cream should be applied to all your recliner’s leather surfaces when new. We recommend that you clean the leather with Stressless®leather cleaner at least once every six months to keep your leather looking its best, removing stains regularly and ensuring long leather life. Always apply the protective cream after cleaning.

Precautions for leather furniture

• Leather like any other natural material can fade when exposed to direct sunlight over a long period of time. Noblesse, being one of our more natural leathers, is particularly sun-sensitive. Therefore, to minimise fading, avoid placing your furniture in direct sunlight.


• To maintain the surface properties of the leather, we recommend that you keep a minimum distance of 30 cm between your furniture and any source of heat.


• Leather is not resistant to animals. Do not allow pets on your leather furniture. Their claws may scratch the leather, which can lead to an expensive repair. Their saliva is acidic and may also attack the leather finish.


• In order to avoid stubborn stains, protect your leather when using household chemicals e.g. (most) domestic detergents such as window cleaners, bleach, nail polish, nail polish remover, glue, shoe polish, paint, corrosive materials. Avoid domestic detergents and ALL products containing solvents and oils, as they may destroy your leather surface. Do not use any traditional household products to remove stubborn stains. Many of these are harsh and cannot be guaranteed safe for use on leather. Do not use a steamer to clean the leather.


• Certain cosmetics and bodycare products contain solvents and oils. These products are not beneficial to leather, as they may weaken the leather finish over time. Avoid using your leather furniture with wet hair or with freshly applied haircare products or cosmetics. To avoid build-up of these products, please clean the leather regularly as described.


• Some of the leather dyes have a two-tone colour effect (shadow/antique effect). Leather dyed with a two-tone effect may change character faster and wear more unevenly than leather with just one colour. This applies in particular to areas of the furniture such as armrests, seat cushions and neck supports, which are exposed to harder wear.


• The top layer protects the leather and simplifies cleaning, but is nonetheless vulnerable to soiling and wear. If the top layer/top colour is destroyed, the leather may deteriorate more quickly. Penetrating spills/damage/scratches are normally irreparable and may result in the top colour changing character, cracking or peeling off.


• Denim clothes and hard textiles such as dungaree jeans expose the leather to strong wear and may leave colour on the leather that is difficult to remove without risking destruction of the top colour of the leather. Light leather colours in particular are vulnerable to such colour contamination.

Maintenance advice

• Maintain surface appearance and texture by gently wiping your leather once a week with a clean dry cloth, or vacuum with a soft brush. This will remove dust.


• We recommend that your leather furniture is cleaned and re-protected at least every six months.

Fabrics

General advice

  • Vacuum regularly
  • Wipe the surface with a damp cloth if needed.
  • Remove spills immediately.
  • Be particularly aware of areas that are in contact with skin and hair, such as armrests and neck support.
  • We do not recommend impregnation of wool fabrics.

Fabrics with a heavily textured surface

Due to the construction of some fabrics it can snag if sharp objects are used. If snags do occur, carefully push them back into the fabric with a fine but blunt tool. Do not try to pull them out or cut them off.

Fabrics with a high proportion of natural fibers

Natural fibers like wool breathe and are comfortable to sit in, have high durability, and maintain a good appearance over time.We recommend to vacuum the furniture regularly and wipe the surface with a damp cloth as needed. Remove spills immediately. If stains and dirt cannot easily be removed with a damp cloth, a cleaning machine for furniture and carpets can be used with lukewarm water. Make sure to use as little water and soap as possible. Please follow the machine and cleaning agents instructions carefully. Professional dry cleaning is also an option. Pilling is a natural occurence on products which are made of natural fibres, such as wool. The pilling will reduce over time and can easily be removed with vacuuming or a “fabric-shaver”. We do not recommend impregnation of our wool fabrics.

Fabrics made from synthetic fibers

Fabrics made from synthetic fibers such as polyester, polyamide and acryl have a unique wear resistance, long durability, good light fastness and are easy to clean. To help the surface retain its appearance, we recommend that you vacuum the furniture regularly and wipe the surface with a damp cloth as needed. Remove spills immediately. If stains and dirt cannot easily be removed with a damp cloth, a cleaning agent and stain remover from the Stressless®Fabric Care Kit may be used.

Fabric Care Kit

The Stressless® Fabric Care Kit contains a fabric cleaner, a stain remover and an Ox cleaner. This kit contains everything you need to clean your furniture in minutes without removing the fabric cover. For resistant stains, use the fabric cleaner together with the stain remover and Ox cleaner.

Wood

Cleaning advice

Varnished wood is commonly used in furniture manufacturing. Attractive looks, durability and easy maintenance are its main advantages – and among the main reasons for its popularity.

  • Remove dust with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Remove spills and stains immediately.
  • Wipe the surface with a soft, clean cloth well wrung out in lukewarm water if needed, and then immediately polish with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Difficult stains can be removed using a cloth with a mild soap solution (just a few drops of washing-up liquid per litre of water). Immediately polish with a dry cloth after cleaning.
  • Never use abrasive cleaners such as scouring powders or creams, nor cloths of microfibre.
  • Repairs should only be carried out by authorised persons. Please contact your furniture retailer for advice.
