Plush FAQ: Leather Sofa Care

Leather Cleaning Tips

• At Plush, we want you to come home to a sofa you love.
• Once your new sofa arrives, we want you to be able to sit back, relax and enjoy the comfort, so the first clean and condition has been completed for you.
• However, you should regularly complete the recommended cleaning process, which can be found in your Plush Sofa Care Guide. This will ensure that your sofa looks great and wears well.
• As a natural product, it is extremely important that leather is regularly and properly maintained to keep it in good condition.
• There are different types of leathers available on your Plush sofa, and they require different types of care.
• Our high quality leather collection comes in two varieties:
• Waxed/pull-up leather.
• Protected leather.



Protected leathers sofa care
• Dust your leather sofa weekly using a clean, dry and non-abrasive white cloth.
• Remove spills rapidly from the surface, by dabbing with absorbent cloth or paper towel. Then delicately clean working from the outside of the stain towards the centre.
• Apply Plush Leather Cleaner & Conditioner, following the instructions printed on the bottle. It is recommend to clean entire panels of your sofa rather than undertaking spot cleaning.
• Don’t allow the leather to become wet.
• Allow leather to dry naturally
• The Plush weekly wipes are handy for regular care of your sofa to help prevent soiling build up. Protecting and Enhancing Leather
• After the leather is clean and dry, it should be protected and moisturised to replenish any oils that were lost over time or removed during the cleaning process.
• Apply the Plush Leather Protector enhancer following instructions printed on the bottle.
• Carefully apply a thin coating of the protector and enhancer product over the leather in a circular motion.
• Treat entire panels. Use a clean, lint free moist cloth when applying the product. Do not use the same cloth that was just used for cleaning.
• The leather should be allowed to dry naturally, then buffed to a dull lustre.
• The Protector and Enhancer should be used after every second clean and condition.

Waxed/Pull-up leather sofa care
• We recommend the use of the Plush Leather Balm following the instructions printed on the bottle. This formula acts as a protector and rejuvenates the leather to ensure it remains supple. If you are using this product additional treatments are not required.
• Dedicated Waxed/Pull-Up leather products are recommended as any other leather cleaners may permanently mark the leather.
• We recommend that your waxed leather sofa should be treated every 6-8 weeks.

Plush Sofa Care Packs
• You will receive a Plush Leather care kit if you purchase a Plush-Shield™ leather warranty.
• Other leather care products, such as Leather Weekly wipes are available to purchase in Plush Showrooms.
• Use these products to help clean and protect your sofa.
• You should refer to the directions listed in the Plush Sofa Care Guide and on the individual products.

Some general rules:
• Pre-test the cleaning method on a hidden area of the sofa. Do not continue if there is an adverse reaction such as colour transfer.
• Allow the leather to dry in a well-ventilated area.
• If you have purchased Plush-Shield®, please refer to your Plush-Shield warranty booklet for advice on how to address each stain appropriately and you can call the hotline should you require any help or assistance on 1800 007 855. They will ensure all stains or marks covered by Plush-Shield are removed and, if they can’t be removed, the affected area will be replaced at no cost to you.

And Remember:
• To avoid your sofa fading, it is best not to expose it to direct sunlight.
• Your sofa should be placed at least 50cm away from any heat source.
