Care instructions
Dear Moizi customer,
The purchase of a piece of Moizi furniture is an investment you will have for many years to come. We have compiled some tips to help you keep your seating furniture looking good for a long time.
Leather care
The leathers we use are high quality and many have natural finishes and thus need regular care.
They are easily damaged by all harsh cleaning agents. For this reason, never use stain removers, solvents, terpentine, shoe polish or other unsuitable agents.
- Protect your chairs from direct sunlight.
- Only use cleaning agents in small quantities.
- Regularly remove dust with a soft, white cloth.
- Intense scrubbing should be avoided.
- Do not place your furniture too close to heat sources (e.g. radiators or fireplaces) as air that is too warm accelerates the drying process.
Regular treatment with a care kit will help keep the leather soft and supple for many years since properly cared for leather is beautiful for a long time.

Semi-Anilinleder
Glattleder
When using a stain remover, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
For aniline and semi-aniline leather, we recommend care products from LCK or Leder-Reinhardt.
Wood care
Varnished wood surface
Varnished wood surface
Regular care ensures the beauty of the surface is preserved much longer.
Varnished furniture surfaces should generally only be wiped dry with a duster.
In the case of heavy dirt, a damp (not wet) cloth can be used for cleaning.
A neutral soap cleaner (approx. 5% concentration) can be added to the cleaning water if necessary. Afterwards wipe over with clean water and rub dry.
Furniture polishes and waxes should not be used for cleaning because treatment with these products can result in surface defects, for example, spotting.
Recoating is also made more difficult after using these products (e.g. pinholing).
Oiled/waxed wood surfaces
Care:
For the care and revitalisation of wood surfaces (every 2-4 years) apply the wood oil thinly and sparingly with a cotton cloth and, after 15-20 minutes, polish dry.
Cleaning:
treat the dirty surfaces or black areas of the wood with an abrasive pad that is soaked in the wood oil and apply gentle pressure in the direction of the grain. Afterwards polish dry with a cotton cloth.
Please make sure:
that all oil-soaked cloths and abrasive pads are rinsed well and disposed of after use! Danger – highly flammable!
Fabric care
Pflegeprodukte
As with all textiles in daily use, fabric needs regular care as it is subject to constant soiling from general use and dust. To preserve the good appearance the wonderful colours, use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush and moderate suction in the same direction as the fabric pile to the greatest extent possible.
And the golden rule: always remove stains as quickly as possible.
Warning: cleaning spirits, acetone, etc. can cause the foam to disintegrate in the event of moisture penetration.
If the stain cannot be removed with water and a pH-neutral soap-water solution, please use the link for more stain advice or consult a specialist if necessary.
Here are some more basic rules for the treatment of fabrics:
- Do not sit down on chairs with fabric covers wearing new, unwashed clothing (particularly jeans). It could result in the clothing dyes bleeding onto the upholstery.
- Do not clean the covers with steam cleaners.
- Never apply cleaning agents directly to the cover.
- Always use a clean, white cloth.
- Clean covers very carefully (with gentle scrubbing) as changes to the surface of the fabric may result.
- Always clean the whole surface of the upholstery.
- Only use the furniture when it is completely dry.
When using a stain remover, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
