JMT Leather

This is a full grain aniline leather produced on only the best quality hides. It is hand finished and polished to give a unique look. No two hides will be identical; some areas of the hide will be much darker than others due to undergoing hand padding with the application of a darker topcoat as the final finishing process.

Cleaning: - a slightly dampened cloth and a pure mild soap solution can be used for light marks. However, extra care should be taken, as this type of leather can easily be damaged by spillages and soiling. Do not wet the leather as water staining may occur. Do not use detergent products. Read carefully the labels on proprietary products to check that they are suitable for aniline leathers.

Whilst these values are typical of those expected, it is advisable to issue appropriate guidance with upholstered furniture to inform consumers of likely performance, as in service, care and maintenance instructions to avoid unnecessary problems.
