Essops uses amongst its many materials…natural full-grain leather. Therefore, certain variations may occur. Dye lots may vary resulting in slight colour variations. No two hides are identical. Scratch marks, stretch marks, brand marks, scuff marks and tick bite marks are characteristics of natural full-grain leather and are often visible. These are not defects but are considered to add character to the leather. To make sure you take optimal care of your leather products, please read the Care Instructions which are available Here.

WOOD,STONE, STAINLESS STEEL & GLASS WARRANTY

Products consisting of Wood, Stone, Stainless and glass are not covered by the warranty.

IMPORTED PRODUCTS WARRANTY

All imported products are warranted for a period of 1 year from date of delivery/collection in respect of frame and workmanship.

CONDITION OF DISPLAYED PRODUCTS

If the subject matter of the sale is the particular product that is on display in the Essops showroom as viewed by the customer, then the product is sold to the customer in the specific condition in which it is and the customer agrees to accept the relevant product in that condition.

Fabric Care

• The quicker you tackle a stain, the easier it is to remove.
• Use a stiff natural bristle brush to loosen dirt and debris from the entire sofa
• Before cleaning your sofa, use a handheld vacuum to remove loose dirt, crumbs, and debris.

Leather Care

At Essops Home, we value the unique character of each full-grain leather hide. These natural markings – wrinkles, scars, and striations – tell the story of the leather's origin and enhance its beauty. Rest assured, these markings are not defects but hallmarks of quality.

• To maintain even wear and prevent uneven appearance, rotate your seating positions regularly.
• Spills should be dabbed immediately with a soft, absorbent and dry cloth.
• Vacuum or dust frequently
• Wipe clean & dry with soft cloths.
• Clean the entire sofa and not spot clean
• Never use detergents to clean leather.
• Leather finish is sensitive to light. Please keep away from windows and areas with direct sunlight.

Steel or objects with components of waxed or raw steel

• Wipe spills & dust regularly: Use a damp cloth (not soaking) with mild soap & water. Dry thoroughly.
• Avoid harsh cleaners: Skip steel wool, abrasive cleaners, and detergents. Opt for window cleaner or a gentle multi-purpose cleaner for tougher dirt.
• Prevent rust: Don't leave liquids on the surface. Wax annually with a colourless wax to maintain its shine and resist rust.
• Be sun smart: Steel heats up in the sun. Consider placement and avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for extended periods

Wood

Wood is a natural material that breathes, expanding and contracting slightly with changes in humidity and temperature. This natural movement may cause minor cracks to appear over time, adding to the unique character of your solid wood piece

• Dust regularly.
• Wipe clean with a damp cloth (avoid soaking).
• Skip harsh chemicals: No wax, oil, detergents, or abrasive cleaners.
• Avoid direct sunlight (Including through glass windows)
• Wipe up spills and water immediately to prevent stains or damage.

Stone Care

Composite stone (including quartz, concrete, terrazzo & fossil) offers a beautiful, consistent look with less porosity than natural stone. However, it's still susceptible to oil stains, so prompt cleaning is key.

• Clean spills ASAP: Wipe up liquids immediately to prevent staining.
• Avoid oils & harsh cleaners: Don't leave oil-based products on the surface and skip abrasive cleaners.
• Wipe gently: Use a soft cloth for daily cleaning. Mild, pH-balanced detergent is okay for tough messes, but wipe away residue to avoid streaks.

Glass

• Handle with care: Glass is delicate. Avoid placing heavy or sharp objects directly on it. Consider using felt pads for added protection.
• Cleaning made easy: Wipe clean with a wet cloth. For polished glass, window cleaning products are safe to use.
• Avoid scratches: Remove jewelry before cleaning to prevent accidental scratches.
• Skip the paper towels: Opt for a lint-free cloth to avoid leaving residue on the glass surface.
