Correct cleaning of spills/greasy stains on the sofa
Especially in summer, when you regularly sit on your beloved sofa in your shorts, slight stains slowly appear on the sofa cover due to sweat and body fat (e.g. from body lotion, sun cream, but also from sweating).
You will usually first notice that areas on the frequently used armrests and in the headboard are becoming darker. Then it's time to act: Take action! With the right cleaners, unsightly discoloration from "spills" can be easily removed.
We have compiled cleaning instructions for the different types of upholstery (leather | fabric | imitation leather) here:
1. Cleaning stains on smooth leather (pigmented leather, semi-aniline, pure aniline)
The best way to remove unsightly sweat and greasy stains / spills is with the specially developed KERALUX® Cleaning set for sweat and spills. It contains an effective degreaser spray, a strong leather cleaner and all the accessories.
First treat the affected areas with the KERALUX® Degreaser Spray. Then clean with the KERALUX® Strong Cleaner. If the sweat has also caused slight colour changes to the leather, these areas can be freshened-up with the KERALUX® Colour Repair Set corresponding to the type of leather. The colour is produced exactly according to your original leather sample in order to achieve an optimum result. Finally, the leather is cared for and protected with the appropriate KERALUX® Care Lotion.
KERALUX® Cleaning set for sweat and spills
Sweat and grease stains on leather cannot always be prevented in everyday life. The more open-pored the leather, the faster it absorbs sweat and other liquids. As a result, unsightly stains, edges or spotting can become visible after a while. If these are not cleaned thoroughly on a regular basis, the increased pH value and the mineral ingredients of the sweat stains can even cause considerable damage to the leather surface. The KERALUX® Cleaning set for sweat and stains is ideal for effectively treating such stains.
