Precautions for leather furniture:
• Leather, like any other natural material, can fade when exposed to direct sunlight over a long period of time. Noblesse, being one of our more natural leathers, is particularly sun-sensitive. Therefore, to minimize fading, avoid placing your furniture in direct sunlight.
• To maintain the surface properties of the leather, we recommend that you keep a minimum distance of 1 foot between your furniture and any source of heat.
• Leather is not resistant to animals. Do not allow pets on your leather furniture. Their claws may scratch the leather, which can lead to an expensive repair. Their saliva is acidic and may also deteriorate the leather finish.
• In order to avoid stubborn stains, protect your leather when using household chemicals e.g. window cleaners, bleach, nail polish, nail polish remover, glue, shoe polish, paint, or corrosive materials. Avoid domestic detergents and ALL products containing solvents and oils, as they may destroy your leather surface. Do not use any traditional household products to remove stubborn stains. Many of these are harsh and cannot be guaranteed safe for use on leather. Do not use a steamer to clean the leather.
• Certain cosmetics and bodycare products contain solvents and oils. These products are not beneficial to leather, as they may weaken the leather finish over time. Avoid using your leather furniture with wet hair or with freshly applied haircare products or cosmetics. To avoid build-up of these products, please clean the leather regularly as described.
• Some of the leather dyes have a two-tone color effect (shadow/antique effect). Leather dyed with a two-tone effect may change character faster and wear more unevenly than leather with just one color. This applies in particular to areas of the furniture such as armrests, seat cushions and neck supports, which are exposed to harder wear.
• The top layer protects the leather and simplifies cleaning, but is nonetheless vulnerable to soiling and wear. If the top layer/top color is destroyed, the leather may deteriorate more quickly. Penetrating spills/damage/scratches are normally irreparable and may result in the top color changing character, cracking or peeling off.
• Denim clothes and hard textiles such as blue jeans expose the leather to strong wear and may leave color on the leather that is difficult to remove without risking destruction of the top color of the leather. Light leather colors in particular are vulnerable to such color contamination.
Maintenance advice:
• Maintain surface appearance and texture by gently wiping your leather once a week with a clean dry cloth, or vacuum with a soft brush. This will remove dust.
• We recommend that your leather furniture is cleaned and re-protected at least every six months.

The Stressless Leather Care Kit 250 ml Contents:
1. 250 ml bottle of Leather Cleaner
2. 250 ml bottle of Leather Protection
3. Cleaning sponge
4. Soft, white-cotton cleaning cloth
A piece of furniture that is in daily use is exposed to quite a bit of stress caused by external factors, such as body oils, acidic sweat, general abrasions, pet residue and dye transfer from blue jeans.
Ekornes recommends that you understand the basic actions you will need to undertake in order to keep your furniture looking great for a long, long period of time. Leather is not self-cleaning nor self-maintaining, so you will need to take care of the leather furniture regularly. It's very easy and the results are quite stunning. A few minutes of care will help your beautiful furniture last many, many years.
Stressless Leather Cleaner:
Stressless leather cleaner is a mild, water-based cleaner that can be used on all pure aniline and pigmented leathers. It will remove soil as well as most water-based stains.
Instructions for use:
1. Shake the bottle well before use.
2. Pour the Stressless Leather Cleaner onto a soft sponge and form a lather by squeezing it repeatedly.
3. Work the foam into the leather using light circular movements. Dab the spone into areas where the soiling is heavier. The larger the sponge, the faster the job will be done. When the sponge gets dirty, rinse it out in clean water.
4. Remove the excess foam and dirt using a soft, white cotton cloth.
5. When you are satisfied with the cleaning results, we recommend you leave the leather to rest for 30 minutes before applying the Stressless Leather Protection, which will renew the protection effect on the surface. Product should be stored at room temperature, and always keep it out of the reach of children.
Stressless Leather Protection:
Stressless leather protection is a water-based protection product for all types of leather except nubuck and suede. Stressless leather protection protects against oil, water and alcohol stains as well as everyday dirt and grime. It will also keep your leather beautiful and soft, and when used regularly in combination with Stressless Leather Cleaner, prevents pigmented leather from cracking.
Instructions for use: 1. Shake the bottle.
2. Pour a small amount of Stressless Leather Protection onto a soft, clean cloth and apply to the surface of the leather evenly. Repeat on areas subject to heavy use, such as armrests, seats and backrests.
3. Leave about 30 minutes to dry.
4. Buff the leather lightly using a clean, soft cloth. Product should be stored at room temperature, and always keep it out of the reach of children.
