Cleaning and caring for the leather palmrests
To keep the leather palmrests in top condition, do the following several times a year:
m Moisten a soft cloth in a mild soap solution and carefully apply this damp (not wet) cloth to the
leather with light, circular movements until the leather is clean. Repeat using clean water. Let the
leather dry completely. Do not use external sources of heat such as a hair dryer.
m After cleaning, apply a leather conditioner (available where genuine leather products are sold). Use
a soft cloth and light, circular movements. Let the leather dry; then buff gently with a soft, dry cloth.
To prevent damage to the leather:
m Do not use hot water, abrasive polishes, solvents, sprays, or soaps that contain abrasives.
m Do not use stiff brushes or a hard brushing action.
m Wipe wet patches caused by soft drinks, coffee, or tea immediately using absorbent material. If a
stain is left, apply a leather stain remover and conditioner (work from the outside towards the
center to avoid leaving a ring). Note: Stain treatment may change the original appearance of the
leather.
m Avoid lengthy exposure to sun, which will dry, crack, and fade the leather.
