G L A S SOr objects with components of glass

A B O U TGlass is fragile and should always be handled with care.

Avoid placing heavy items on glass surfaces and bear in mind that sharp items will scratch surface if not placed with care.

Consider placing felt pads underneath objects placed on top of glass.

C L E A N I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S- Wipe with a wet cloth- Window cleaning products may be used on polished surfaces- Make sure detergent is fully wiped down after cleaning to avoid marks

N A T U R A L S T O N EOr objects with components of marble

A B O U TNatural stone includes:- Marble- Granite- Onyx- Lava stone- Various other materials that come directly from the earth.

Natural stone is porous, and each piece has a unique look as nature intended.

These materials are susceptible to oils, and stains and marking will occur if care is not taken.

C L E A N I N G I N S T R U C T I O N- Wipe off liquids immediately- Do not leave any oily products on the stone- Do not rub, scratch or scour- Always use a soft cloth when wiping items- Wipe with a mild, PH balanced detergent only if absolutely necessary- To avoid streak marks, always make sure to wipe residue detergent off the stone surface

C O M P O S I T E S T O N EOr objects with composite stone

A B O U TComposite stone includes:- Concrete- Terrazzo- Quartz stone

Composite stone is mostly less porous than natural stone and is more consistent in look.

These materials are still susceptible to oils, and stains and marking will occur if care is not taken.

C L E A N I N G I N S T R U C T I O N- Wipe off liquids immediately- Do not leave any oily products on the stone- Do not rub, scratch or scour- Always use a soft cloth when wiping items - Wipe with a mild, PH balanced detergent only if absolutely necessary- To avoid streak marks, always make sure to wipe residue detergent off the stone surface

P O W D E R C O A T E D & P L A T E D S T E E LOr objects with components of powdercoated steel

A B O U TThis is a metal object that can hold on electrostatic charge.A dry powder is electrostatically applied to a metal part. This coating is a lot stronger than paint coatings. Coating can chip and scratch if not handled with care.

WA X E D / R AW S T E E LOr objects with components of waxed or raw steel

A B O U TThis item has a light wax sealant applied to its surface in orderto enhance and maintain it natural steel look.

Raw waxed steel is susceptible to rust and scratching if not maintained regularly.

Raw or waxed steel will rust if left outside in the elements.Please note that steel attracts heat and will heat up if left in the sun.

Rust will occur if liquids are left on the steel.

C L E A N I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S- Wipe off spills immediately

- Dust regularly

- Do not rub, scratch or scour

- Wax annually with a colourless wax sealant is necessary yearly in order to maintain the natural look

- Wax is available to purchase form all Weylandts stores

B R A S S A N D C O P P E ROr objects with components of brass or copper

A B O U TBrass is a natural, malleable material.Brass items will age or tarnish with time as oxidation occurs.Intermittent cleaning is necessary if this effect is not desired.Brass will scratch if sharp items are placed on it without care.

C L E A N I N G I N S T R U C T I O N SAlways clean spills immediately, on all brass items.

Polished & brushed brass:

- Clean with damp, soft cloth

- Brass cleaning products can be used on polished brass

- Do not scour

Aged brass:

- Clean with damp cloth in order to keep aged look

- Do not scour

L E A T H E ROr objects with components of leather

A B O U TThere are different ways to approach leather. Some manufacturers like to try and hide all the natural marks on inferior leather to make it look unnaturally ‘perfect.’ At Weylandts, we celebrate the unique character of each hide. For this reason, we don’t try to cover up or exclude parts of the story of each piece of leather. Wrinkles, scars, tick bite marks and brand marks are all typical of the highest quality, natural, full-grain leather, also known as aniline leather.

For this reason, the following may occur in leather products:

- Dye lots may vary

- Colour variations may occur due to multiple hides required to make up the product

- Marks, tick bite scars, scratches, stretch marks and scuff marks are characteristics of full grain leather and are therefore not defects. Prominent brand marks may also be visible and are not considered defects.

C L E A N I N G I N S T R U C T I O N SAlways clean spills immediately, on all leather items.

- Vacuum or dust frequently with a clean, dry cloth

- If leather is soiled, it can be wiped with a soft, damp cloth using a lather of any mild soap with lukewarm water

- Do not spot clean leather; clean the entire surface

- Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry with a clean, soft cloth

Professional waterproofing can be done to a sofa at your own risk. Feel free to contact Weylandts for our preferred supplier.

M E T A L S L E A T H E R

Please note that rusting can occur in damaged or chipped areas.

Please keep in mind that negligence will not be covered in the warranty.

C L E A N I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S- Dust regularly

- Wipe with a damp cloth

- Do not rub, scratch or scour

- Mild detergents can be used on powdercoated item when necessary
