Our club chairs and sofas are robust pieces of furniture, made from hard-wearing basane leather that’s built to last for years.

That’s why we recommend use waxes that are suitable for basane leather.

Tips and tricks for leather care

Many alternatives to basane leather wax are sometimes presented as miracle solutions. These are often household or cosmetic products. You may be tempted to try these tricks, which can be found all over the internet, but we strongly advise against it. Basane leather is a noble and living material, and not just any substance should be used on it, otherwise it will be permanently damaged. Pure beeswax, for example, is used as a substitute for basane wax. But it can damage the quality of the leather by blocking its pores, preventing the epidermis from breathing. At the same time, you lose its absorbent and heat-regulating properties.

Body lotions and milks have the same clogging effect. Moisturising skin creams can become rancid, and their nauseating smell will penetrate the grain of the leather for a long time. Finally, cleaners containing solvents should be avoided at all costs, especially on coloured leathers. To preserve the qualities of basane, take care and always use suitable products.

How to apply club chair wax

Just like our skin, leather needs regular nourishment. If it is not sufficiently moisturised, leather can dry out, causing cracks to appear. Over time, these will develop into deep tears. Once they’re there, there’s no going back. This type of deformation weakens the structure of the leather and may force you to restore your club chair prematurely. Here are the different steps to follow to maintain the leather of your furniture and ensure it has a long and beautiful life.

The right way to clean leather

First of all, clean your club chair or sofa with the chamois cloth that you have dampened beforehand. You can add a small amount of mild soap. Rub gently over the entire surface of the leather. Repeat the operation with the rinsed, water-soaked cloth.

Nourishing and waxing the basane

Once the leather has dried completely, you can start applying the cream of your choice. Use the colourless wax to moisturise the leather, or the coloured wax to enhance the shade of your Club chair.

  • Lightly pat the product into the leather;
  • Leave to dry for 15 minutes;
  • Rub in with a clean cloth.

Once the wax has been applied, your leather will not only regain its former beauty, but also its flexibility – you’ll feel it immediately.

The ideal frequency for maintaining full grain sheepskin leather

It’s important to apply club chair leather wax once a year. For parts of the seat in frequent contact with the body, such as the backrest, armrests or seat, repeat the operation more often (two or three times a year).

As you can see, the basane leather used to upholster our club chairs is one of the most prestigious and robust leathers on the market. Its many qualities mean that it retains its shine and stands the test of time. Despite this, it will always need your attentive care and a regular dose of club chair leather wax.
