Wash: We suggest that you run the washer through a wash cycle empty before washing your slipcover - just to be sure it is free of any detergent, bleach, or other impurities that might spot or stain the slipcover. We also suggest that you wash the entire slipcover; washing only select parts may result in color variations on the piece of furniture (you may want to consider washing all pieces in the collection at the same time, i.e., wash the sofa, the chair and the ottoman covers at the same time - again, to minimize color variations which may occur with washing). Don't overload your washer. Separate the slipcover into two loads, washing the body cover in the first load and the cushion covers in the second load. Zip the zippers (closed) on pillow and cushion covers to prevent damage when washing. Use the gentle cycle on your washing machine. Use cold water and a mild detergent. Do not use a detergent with bleach or a bleach additive. Remove the slipcover from the washer immediately at the end of the cycle.

Dry: Airdry or on a low tumble dry with no heat. Put the Body slipcover back on the piece of furniture while still slightly damp - you may need to stretch it a little to get it back on. Putting the cover back on while it's still slightly damp ensures it will dry to fit. Covers for the seat and back cushions and pillows should be replaced slightly damp as well. Stand the cushions on end, rotating them every 20 to 30 minutes until dry. This will prevent any water that may drain to one side of the cushion from sitting in one place and possibly causing a water stain.

Most stains will roll off the fabric or can be blotted away with a dry clean cloth. Mix 1 tsp. of an enzyme detergent such as Tide® laundry detergent or Dawn® dishwashing detergent with 16 oz. of warm water into a spray bottle and mix well. Use a soft brush to work the solution into the affected area, working from the outside of the stain inward so as not to spread the stain. Rinse your brush or sponge frequently. Rinse thoroughly with water to remove all soap residues. Blot excess moisture with a clean cloth. Repeat as needed. Allow fabric to air dry.

Most stains will bead up and can be blotted away with a dry, clean cloth. For more stubborn stains, professional cleaning is recommended.

A monthly wiping with a warm and gently damp clean cloth will prevent your body oils and dust from creating a buildup. As easy as it sounds, this maintenance is key to prolonging the life of your leather furniture. Do not use saddle soaps, oils, abrasive cleaners, soaps, furniture polish, varnish or ammonia based products. The leather has already been permanently preserved in the tanning process and needs no maintenance other than the simple cleaning recommended.

In case of a deep cleaning or conditioning, you should use leather specific cleaners and conditioners. These products are specially designed for this purpose and will not affect the structure of the leather. Recommended 2 to 3 times a year.
