CARE
ANILINE LEATHER
At Fredericia, we are particularly aware of the fact that our products should also be for everyday use and that regular wear and tear should not compromise the presentation of any items in our collections. Our furniture is renowned for aging beautifully and lasting for generations.
However, this can only be guaranteed if the furniture is treated with respect and maintained properly and in accordance with the various materials used.
Vegetable and chrome-tanned aniline leather is produced from hides of the most exquisite quality. The natural structure is maintained without the use of surface treatments, which again ensures that the leather remains breathable and soft and provides optimal comfort. Over the years, the leather will develop a unique and beautiful patina, characteristic of aniline leather.
DAILY CLEANING
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. In case of light stains, you can use a soft cloth, tightly wrung in water, which has been boiled and then cooled to room temperature. Often, it will be preferable to leave light stains to simply be absorbed into the naturally developing patina (e.g. stains from a pen). If liquids are spilt, immediately wipe the entire surface with a soft cloth tightly wrung in cold water. Avoid cleaning agents and sharp objects. Loose cushions should be patted down regularly in order to preserve their shape.
LACQUERED & PAINTED WOOD
Lacquered surfaces are easy to clean and they are highly resistant to dust and dirt. However, a lacquered surface is difficult to restore once ruined. Therefore, you must immediately wipe off any spilt liquids, as they will otherwise be absorbed into the tiny cracks in the varnish and create blotches.
Lacquered surfaces are also sensitive to humidity, moisture and alcohol. When lacquering natural oak, we use a matte lacquer with a light white pigmentation, which helps maintain the colour of the wood.
Fresh lacquer is used to repair tiny cracks in coloured, lacquered surfaces. You can obtain the original coloured lacquer from Fredericia. Please refer to the ‘item no’ found underneath the chair when referencing the original colour.
DAILY CLEANING
Wipe with a clean, dry cloth, and remember to always wipe in the wood grains’ longitudinal direction. If you need to wash down the entire piece of furniture, use a soft cloth, tightly wrung in lukewarm water containing a tiny bit of all-purpose cleaning agent. Always choose a mild cleaning agent without sanding qualities. Be careful not to use too much water, and preferably, use only a damp cloth. Remember to always finish off by wiping the surfaces with a dry cloth.
SOAP TREATED SURFACES
DAILY CLEANING
Wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth. Solid wood cannot tolerate large quantities of water, and if you spill any liquids, the furniture must immediately be wiped dry in order to avoid stains and miscolouring of the surface. For regular cleaning, use a cloth firmly wrung in lukewarm water. If the surfaces are particularly dirty, you can add soap flakes to the water. Never soak the wood, as too much water may cause damage to the surface.
OILED TREATED WOOD
Oak light oil: Clear, light, natural oil. The oil is specially developed with a very light pigment treatment that preserves the light colour of the oak. Oak oil and Walnut oil: Clear, natural oil. With oak, the wood takes on a natural, darker tone. Smoked oak oil: Oak is smoked according to traditional methods and proper protocols in an ammonia vapor. After a final polish by hand, a clear, natural oil is applied to the smoked oak. Difference in surface colour will naturally occur and will vary considerably.
DAILY CLEANING
Wipe with a clean, dry cloth. We do not recommend using wet cloths on oiled surfaces if this can be avoided. For stains that cannot be removed with a dry cloth, use a soft cloth dampened with clean water and wrung out. Immediately after wiping with the damp cloth, use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry.
MAINTENANCE
ANILINE LEATHER
Soap treated surfaces are maintained with water and white/natural soap flakes once or twice annually or as required, according to the description below. In order to obtain the best result, you should use boiled water cooled to room temperature.
Use ¼ dl soap flakes with 1 litre of water. The soap flakes must be completely dissolved. Never pour the soap solution directly onto the furniture.
Dampen a soft sponge with soapy water, and work the soap solution into the surface using long strokes in the direction of the wood grain. Make sure not to soak the surface as large quantities of water may cause the wood to crack or skew. Then wipe any excess soap off with a soft, dry cloth and leave to dry for approx. two hours before use. Repeat as required.
As an alternative to regular soap flakes, Fredericia recommends using Leather Masters Natural Soap Protector – a ready-mixed soap solution, which is worked into the surface in the same way as a regular soapy water solution. If the wood fibres rise, you can sand the surface gently with sandpaper, grain 240. When completely dry, gently wipe the sandpaper in the direction of the wood grain once. Then wipe the surface with a dry cloth to remove any dust particles.
SOAP TREATED SURFACES
Soap treated surfaces are maintained with water and white/natural soap flakes once or twice annually or as required, according to the description below.
LACQUERED & PAINTED WOOD
If you take good care of your lacquered furniture, no maintenance is necessary. Avoid leaving liquids on the surfaces and always ensure that they are kept dry. Small cracks in the lacquer can be mended by using the original Fredericia lacquer. Discolouration cannot be rectified by using cleaning agents, but must be restored by a professional.
