2. On pain of nullity of a guarantee, it is forbidden to use for cleaning the following methods:

   – hard brushes, hard sponges nor rough cloths,
   – dry cleaners, 
   – petrol, alcohols, nail polish removers nor disinfectants, 
   – bleaches widely used in households,
   – solvents and liquids containing solvents, especially ketones, acetates, cyclohexanone, tetrahydrofuran, citric acid, 
   – waxing agents, 
   -cleaning and maintenance products intended for eco leathers (artificial leathers) and for natural leather. 

   Said materials can cause local discolouration, changes of coulour, shade and shine. They also lead to stiffening of the material and that transmits to scratching and cracks occuring on leather-like materials. It should be noted that stains from ink, pen, markers and similiar writing instruments are extremely hard in being removed from the surface of artificial leather.

   Fabrics that have direct contact with leather-like materials should not contain active dyes (e.g. jeans clothing or corduroy) which by migrating can cause their permanent stains. Leather-like materials shall be kept in storage under roof, heated, in the temperatures from 5 to 30 degrees of Celsius. Leather-like materials should not be exposed to intense warmth and light sources; they should not be kept near heat sources in the rooms (e.g. radiators, heaters, stoves etc.) and in the places with sunlight. Such exposure can result in discolouring of the artificial leather and in consequence loss of aestethic functions which exempts the guarantor from any possible claims.
