WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT LEATHER Leather is a unique product of nature. Differences in grain, beauty marks, range scars and slight color variations should not be viewed as flaws. Your leather is tanned to last a lifetime. It will age naturally, graciously changing color as the years go by. Like a baseball glove, it will develop character lines and become softer with use. The more expensive the leather, the more care was taken in selection of the hides for the furniture. It is usually softer with less protective finish. This leather is more easily damaged by scratching, stains, etc. Less expensive leather has more of a protective finish and is less prone to damage.

REPAIRS Unlike upholstery, the advantage to leather is that scratches, rips, tears and stains can be repaired and re-dyed back to the original color and state before damage. Call an Elite Leather Professional if you are in this situation.

MAINTENANCE Leather furniture is a quality investment; therefore, everything possible should be done to protect it. Where maintenance of your new furniture is concerned, it is very important to know what the DON'TS are. Doing the wrong thing can severely damage your furniture. Leather cannot be re-oiled. This has been done during the tanning process. NEVER USE OILS, SADDLE SOAP, SOAPS, ARMOUR ALL, SPRAYS OR ALL-PURPOSE CLEANERS. Modern tanning techniques do not require these traditional care products. Using them will damage the finish and the longevity of your leather.
