Maintenance and care If the leather cannot be completely cleaned using a mild soap and water solution, the leather may cleaned using a commercially available cleaning product "Tanners Preserve Leather Cleaner" and a 3M "Type T' scrubbing pad by using the following steps; The type of scrubbing pad is very critical because the common 3M "Scotch Brite" green pad is too aggressive and will damage the leather surface • Spray a small amount of the leather cleaner on the pad and rub the area to be cleaned with the pad using a circular motion. Only clean 1/4 of the area at a time. For heavily soiled areas, spray the cleaner directly onto the leather (two squirts should be adequate) and rub with the pad. Repeat if necessary. • Use a soft, damp cloth to remove the loosened dirt and foam. • Dry with a soft cloth. Do not use household cleaners, glass cleaner, alcohol solutions or cleaner intended for vinyl, rubber or plastics. These products can damage the leather.
