LEATHER UPHOLSTERY

Luxury, durability and comfort are inherent qualities of fine leather furniture. Differences in types of hides, tanning methods and finishes result in wide variations in characteristics. Unique to genuine leather are natural features like neck wrinkles, scars, scratches, insect bites, stretch marks, grain, backbone markings and color nuances. These variations are not flaws, but features which enhance the natural beauty and character of leather, and will not affect its durability or strength. No two hides are alike, therefore color and texture will vary, and exact matches are not always possible. While leather is the most durable of furniture covers, it still requires routine maintenance and cleaning. To prevent drying and fading, keep leather furniture away from direct sunlight and avoid close proximity to heating sources. Regular dusting with a clean white cloth is recommended. Leather can be scratched, cut and marked with sharp objects just as fabric.

FABRIC UPHOLSTERY

Never remove cushion covers for separate dry-cleaning or washing. Do not use bleach or any tumble method of cleaning as this may destroy the fabric backing, shrink or otherwise damage the upholstery fabric. See the Lexington Upholstery Catalog for more information on cleaning and product care. For current fabric information, see your Lexington Upholstery dealer.
