Care
Care
Every MATSU piece is made from carefully selected materials. With a little regular care it will keep its character for many years. If you have any questions, our team is happy to advise.
Yak leather
Dust weekly with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a cloth lightly moistened with mild soapy water, wipe in circular motions and dry immediately. Avoid harsh cleaning agents and direct sunlight. Condition every three to six months with a suitable leather balm.
Kvadrat and Gabriel fabrics
Vacuum regularly with an upholstery attachment. Treat stains by dabbing with a mild soap or upholstery-shampoo solution, working from the outside in, then blot dry and leave to air-dry. Test any cleaner on a hidden area first; avoid steam cleaning, soaking and harsh chemicals. For heavily used pieces, we recommend an annual professional clean.
