Leather furniture care

Fjords uses a through-dyed process, scratches and cuts are less noticeable. With this process, dye colors at the top of the hide, all the way through the bottom. So, when a scratch accidentally happens, the color stays the same, unlike cheaply dyed leather, in which the scratch would show up white. On darker colored leathers, this blemish would be highly noticeable.

Thankfully, Fjords leather furniture is easy to take care of, naturally durable and becomes more beautiful with use. Here are some tips to keep your top grain leather furniture from Fjords in optimal condition:

  • Routine Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down your top grain leather furniture weekly, removing any dust or dirt that has settled.
  • Deep Cleaning: Every 3-6 months, perform a deep cleaning using a leather-specific cleaner. Apply the cleaner to a soft cloth and gently rub it into the leather in a circular motion. Avoid using regular household cleaners, which can be too harsh and damage the leather.
  • Conditioning: To keep the leather supple and prevent cracking, apply a quality leather conditioner every 6-12 months.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight & Heat: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the leather to fade. Position your furniture away from the windows or areas where the sunlight hits directly. Also, avoid placing it near heat sources like fireplaces or radiators, as the heat can cause the leather to crack or warp.
  • Quickly Clean Spills: If a spill occurs, blot it immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Never rub the spill as it can cause the liquid to spread and sink deeper into the leather.
  • Use Leather Protectant: Applying a leather protectant can provide a barrier against stains and spills, making your furniture easier to clean and maintain.
  • Avoid Clothing Dye Mishaps: Be careful when wearing new clothes, as darker-colored dyes can transfer onto lighter-colored leathers.

Astro Line

This is our best leather, and cannot be produced
from just any bovine(cow) hide. This makes the raw
material costs significantly higher than NL grade, as
the hides must be relatively free of marks and have
unusable areas that do not meet Astro Line standards.

Soft Line

This is our mid-grade leather, and cannot be produced
from just any bovine(cow) hide. Soft Line Leather hides
must be relatively free of marks and are priced accordingly.
It is uncorrected , meaning the surface of the hide has not been
sanded smooth to remove imperfections and natural marks.
This gives the leather natural variation in grain, and an improved
look and feel. The top grain leather has been mechanically
stretched and flattened at the tannery for a smoother appearance.

Nordic Line

Our entry grade leather can be produced from almost
any bovine(cow) hide. This makes the raw material costs
as low as possible. It has been corrected , meaning the
surface of the hide has been sanded smooth to remove
imperfections and natural marks, and then a consistent
grain pattern is then embossed onto the prepared surface
at the tannery. This gives the leather a very even, consistent
appearance and feel.
