Pewter is perfect for everyday use and with the minimum of care it can retain its wonderful finish.

• Pewter is a soft metal and will easily scratch with a hard cloth. 
• It should NEVER be washed in a dishwasher the chemicals in the detergent will react with the pewter and ruin the finish.
• We recommend washing by hand having removed the leather, in hot soapy water and then dried with a soft cloth.
• When drying your pewter, keep the direction of the cloth in a straight up and down motion, never in circles.

LEATHER WRAP

Smooth leather will benefit from a soft leather cream to nourish, hydrate, and preserve its supple qualities. Gentle creams and conditioners may also be used to remove light scratches. Begin by brushing with a soft bristle brush and wipe away any excess dust or debris with a cotton or micro-fibre cloth. Next, nourish the surface with a gentle leather conditioner.

What ‘to do’ & ‘not do’ with leather:

• Do regularly clean leather with a soft brush or cloth
• Do regularly air out leather
• Do blot away water or moisture as soon as possible
• Do dry wet leather naturally, away from artificial heat
• Do keep leather supple with a specialised leather conditioner every 3-6 months
• Do clean spots and stains with a mixture of soap flakes and warm water
• Do test any conditioners, cleaners, polishes, or wax in a hidden spot beforehand
• Do not get leather wet wherever possible
• Do not dry wet leather next to a radiator or with a hairdryer
• Do not immerse leather in water to clean.
