Cleaning fabrics, real and faux leather/hides.

TESSUTI
Coffee: remove stains by washing repeatedly with warm or sparkling water mixed with a small amount of neutral detergent.
Chocolate, fruit ice cream, cosmetics, lipstick: dab with water mixed with ammonia. Wash any remaining marks with water and neutral detergent.
Felt tip pen, biro: dab with pure denatured alcohol, then wash with water and neutral detergent.
Drinks: dab with water and ammonia (one part ammonia to eight parts water); rinse with water and neutral detergent.
Chewing gum: harden the gum with ice and remove the bits; apply a lubricating solution and dry. Repeat if necessary.
Candle wax: blot with absorbent paper and a hot iron (no steam); apply a dry cleaner. Wash delicately with water and neutral detergent if any marks are left.

LEATHERS
Exercise maximum care with leather and hide covers because stain removal is very difficult. For routine cleaning of hides and leathers, dust with a soft cloth and, if necessary, wipe with a cotton cloth moistened with water and skimmed milk.
For normal cleaning, use a special leather cloth wrapped around a soft, dry sponge. Smooth the leather in all directions and remove surface dirt. Slick, shiny patches will disappear.
Do not use abrasive or aggressive products like solvents and stain removers. Never use steam and shoe cleaning products. Always test a cleaning product on a small concealed area to check effectiveness and to avoid damage.

SYNTHETIC LEATHERS
Light stains: wipe the surface with a damp cloth or a solution of neutral detergent, rinsing with water, without wringing.
Localized, heavy stains (oil, grease, cosmetics, ink, coffee, liquor, chewing gum): dissolve the stain quickly with ethyl alcohol diluted in a 20% solution with water. Blot dry and then clean with a neutral detergent solution. Rinse well.

LEATHER SURFACE
Use a soft felt or wool cloth. Add leather wax only if necessary. Remove stains as quickly as possible with an absorbent cloth. Do not wipe. Dab from the outside edges inwards.
Avoid using aggressive (solvents) or abrasive products. Do not steam clean. Do not use shoe cleaning products.
Alternatively, use the fabric and leather cleaning kits.
