Leather and Leather Blend Products
Leather blend rugs are beautiful and durable, but they require a bit more care to maintain their look over time. Because these fibers are absorbent, it's important to keep them away from moisture and clean up spills right away. With routine vacuuming and professional dry cleaning, your leather blend rug can stay stylish and long-lasting for years. Follow the care tips below to keep it looking its best.
Professional cleaning is recommended
Maintaining your quality purchase will repay you by keeping its beauty for many years.
• Leather Blends are inherently absorbent and should not be placed in areas that are damp or where spills are likely to occur (kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and porches).
• Vacuum regularly. Frequent vacuuming is a carpet's best friend. This will remove the fine dirt particles that can lodge between the fibers and cause additional wear. For best results, use a suction only vacuum: no beater bar, no rotary power head.
• Remove spills immediately. (see additional information below)
• Professionally clean as needed. Never steam clean or wet shampoo a leather blend floor covering.
• Keep doormats clean. Exercise preventative maintenance by placing absorbent mats at the most frequently used entrances to your home. Change or launder when these mats become soiled.
• The vacuum cleaner dust bag should be changed when half full. Filters in your heating and air conditioning systems should be changed regularly.
Cleaning
• One of the most crucial areas of carpet maintenance is removal of spots and spills. Acting quickly when anything is spilled or dropped and always having the necessary cleaning materials at hand are of the utmost importance.
Steps for Spot Removal
• Remove spills immediately.
• Liquid spills act as a magnet to any dirt particles that are in the carpet, causing the dirt to rise to the surface. This dirt may cause a dark stain. Immediately blot - do not rub - the spot with a clean, absorbent white cloth or paper towel. Rubbing can work the liquid deeper into the fibers, making the spill more likely to stain the carpet.
• To remove spots caused by solid substances, first remove any remaining material. Scrape it up with a spoon, always working from the outside of the spot toward the center.
• We recommend spot cleaning with dry cleaning products only, Host, Capture Wool Dri.
• Pretest spot-removal in an inconspicuous area.
For All Over Cleaning
• Professionally clean as needed. Never steam clean or wet clean a leather blend carpet. It will cause shrinkage, discoloration, and/or staining. Please be aware that proper maintenance on leather blend products calls for Dry Clean Only. Capture, Host, Wool Ori, or a Professional Dry Cleaning Service
