Question 13

Are Stressless recliners easy to care for?

Accepted Answer

All furniture, especially leather furniture, requires care and cleaning. Even though Stressless recliners are high-end furniture, it doesn’t require any specialized treatments to care for your recliners. Basic care you would provide for any other leather furniture applies to your Stressless recliner. Primarily that includes:

Avoid having your recliner in direct sunlight for very long periods of time. If your preferred sitting location has lots of light, try to limit the direct exposure.
Try to avoid extremely dry conditions. Relative humidity that is comfortable for you is best for your leather recliner.
Gently vacuum debris and dust from the leather.
Do not use microfiber wipes on your leather recliner — this can pull out essential oils in the leather and shorten the lifespan.

You should start taking care of your leather furniture as soon as it’s in your home. Use our Stressless leather care kit on all leather surfaces, neck rests, armrests, seats. The care kit will help nurture the leather and keep it resistant to stains, including grease and perspiration.

For daily care, simply wipe down the leather seating areas with a moist cloth, then buff with a soft, dry cloth. Clean frequently is recommended wherever hands, bare arms or heads rest against the hide. Avoid excessive wetting or rubbing.
