Cleaning And Care Guidelines
GENERAL CARE
Please ensure that your furniture is used as it was intended. Do not sit on arms of lounges, and do not pivot on the back legs of chairs or lounges. For leather upholstered furniture you should apply the leather protector supplied in your Nick Scali Care Kit to your furniture immediately on delivery of your furniture. You should also apply the leather cleaner and protector to your furniture 3 to 4 times a year.
SUNLIGHT
As with any product, prolonged exposure of furniture to direct sunlight will harm it. Direct exposure to sunlight will cause leather and fabrics to fade and may also cause excessive drying. Direct exposure to sunlight will cause timber products, particularly doors, tops and side panels to warp.

This booklet contains comprehensive details on caring and cleaning of leather lounges, natural characteristics of leather, normal wear and tear of leather lounges and other important information. The information provided in this booklet forms part of this document relating to leather lounges. You can also purchase Nick Scali Leather Care Kit from your nearest showroom, and for more regulary weekly care for your leather furniture you can purchase Leather Weekly Wipes from your nearest showroom as well.
FABRIC UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE
Please refer to the Lounge Booklet provided to you at time of order. The most up to date version of the Lounge Booklet can be downloaded here. If thread becomes loose on the fabric, simply cut it off. Do not pull it. Dust is best removed using your vacuum cleaner with the appropriate attachment. Avoid harsh brushing and sharp objects (rings, buckles, toys) as it will cause snagging of threads. Do not allow cats and dogs to walk on fabric upholstered furniture. As many fabrics differ in properties, it is best to follow the unique care and cleaning instructions labelled on your fabric furniture. To best maintain and care for your fabric furniture, we also provide a Nick Scali Fabric Care Kit available to purchase at your nearest showroom.
FABRIC UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE IN PARTICULAR

As many fabrics differ in properties, it is best to follow the unique care and cleaning instructions labelled on your fabric furniture.
LACQUERED AND TIMBER FINISHES
Natural timber and veneer finishes will show distinctive markings, patterns and colour variations which are evidence of being produced from genuine timber materials. Always use protective heat coverings to protect against hot objects. A tablecloth is not sufficient. Always use coasters when placing glasses, bottles or cups on the surface. Regularly clean surface by wiping with a non-abrasive, damp cloth.
MARBLE, TRAVERTINE AND MACSTONE FINISHES
Marble and Travertine are natural materials. Each piece is unique in markings and patterns and colour variation. Always use protective heat coverings to protect against hot objects. A tablecloth is not sufficient.
Always use coasters when placing glasses, bottles or cups on the surface. Any liquid spills should be wiped clean immediately. Remove dirt and dust by wiping with a warm, damp cloth.
CHROME & METAL FINISHES
Dust the surface regularly to avoid build-up of pollutants, which may cause the surface to rust. Only use a recognised brand of chrome polish, if necessary. Avoid contact with sharp or hard objects as this will cause scratching.
GLASS
Use a regular glass cleaner with an appropriate soft cloth for glass. Do not apply glass cleaner to surrounding areas or the frosted side of the glass. Always use a mat to avoid hot objects being in direct contact with glass. Avoid contact with sharp or hard objects as this will cause scratching. Never lift glass tops from the ends of a table as this will put unnecessary stress on the surface and may cause it to break.

We strongly recommend that you replace and do not use the Battery Packs for longer than 12 months after the date of purchase – doing so presents an increased safety hazard, including the increased risk of fire.
