Leather Care

At Huppé, we only use full-grain leathers treated with a semi-aniline dyeing process that minimizes natural skin marks and enhances the uniformity of the finish. Semi-aniline full-grain leather is durable, and its character matures with age. To maintain its appearance and increase resistance to fading, it's important to moisturize this type of leather monthly with a damp cloth.

Upholstery fabric & faux leather care

Huppé offers a wide variety of fabrics and a collection of faux leather as an excellent alternative to real leather. To extend the longevity, preserve the color and maximize the cleanliness of your upholstery fabric:

  • Vacuum your upholstered furniture regularly, including the deck under the cushions, using your vacuum cleaner’s upholstery attachment.
  • Flip and rotate back and seat cushions frequently.
  • Flip and rotate back and seat cushions frequently.
  • Clean all liquid spills immediately by blotting with a clean, absorbent cloth.

Note :

It is strongly recommended not to apply stain-repellent products after purchasing your furniture. Their effectiveness can damage the fabric fibers or alter its color. Additionally, using these products may void the fabric manufacturer's warranty. Before attempting any cleaning, it is best to refer to the fabric manufacturer's cleaning recommendations and seek professional cleaning services.

Wood Finishes

Note that the color of certain wood species, such as American black walnut, white oak, birch and white ash, changes with age. Although Huppé uses specialized varnishes to delay this natural process, it is perfectly normal for your furniture to slowly change from a grayish to a yellowish color. This lovely honey hue will enhance the natural beauty of your furniture. Note that the finish on your furniture will be fully cured 21 days after the date of manufacture. Within this time frame, you must use your furniture with care to avoid damaging the finish.
