It is vital not to let dirt build up over time on items of leather clothing. Never use products containing solvents to clean them. Use the Dainese “Protection & Cleaning Kit” that you can find at any Dainese store. This kit contains two products: the first is for thoroughly cleaning the hide while the second nourishes it to keep it soft and pliable. If you don't have a kit, you can always use a sponge or a clean cloth and cold water with a little neutral soap as detergent. After cleaning the item, leave it to completely dry well away from any sources of heat (e.g. the sun, radiators, ...) and, if possible, on a flat surface or on a suitable hanger. The lining must be washed separately in water at 40°C max; Dainese recommends that you use a neutral soap and not a detergent powder which might be abrasive.

1) Do not rub down the garment with a brush or abrasive materials or creams.

2) To remove both gnats and dust, simply wipe the area with a soft sponge soaked in neutral soap and water. It is best to promptly remove any organic spots left by insects (e.g. gnats, mosquitoes etc.), since the fluids they contain are quite aggressive on the leather.

3) Any oil or grease should be washed immediately with a soft damp cloth, clean with gentle circular movements, avoiding to unduly rubbing the soiled area.

4) Dry the garment away from heat sources and in a well-ventilated place, it is best to use a clothes hanger to prevent the garment from creasing or taking on shapes that are difficult to eliminate.

5) When a garment is dried after it is accidentally wet, the leather may appear dry or stiff. To restore its initial characteristics use the Dainese Leather care KIT Protection and Cleaning Kit, which can be found at any Dainese dealer. The kit has two products: the first has an in-depth cleansing action on the leather, the second maintains it rich and soft, feeding the leather and keeping it hydrated.

The Kit can be also be used for normal cleaning and care for the garment, always when dry. Remember to take great care with garments made of several different materials. In this case, always and only follow the instructions on the garment label.

PLEASE NOTE:

Please remember that the “Regenerate your Dainese leather clothing” service only refers to leather items of clothing, i.e. jackets, trousers and leather suits (two-piece or professional).

Dainese do not offer any other type of service specifically for cleaning leather items.

Please also note that Dainese do not offer any type of service for cleaning fabric items.

 

* items made of more than one material (e.g. fabrics, suede, split cowhide…) are excluded.

** for items damaged in different areas and that need partial or complete repair work, an estimate will be prepared according to the extent of the damages. (Evaluation by Dainese.)

Given the complex nature of their structure, it is not possible to re-stitch the knees on the most recent models of leather suits.

Dainese reserve the right to refuse, i.e. return not regenerated, items of leather clothing that are in a "critical" condition. This applies particularly to blood stains or residual dirt (mud and/or similar) which have penetrated deep into the leather. This pertains particularly to leathers that need special treatment (e.g. items made with Vintage leather). Dainese will make the decision about whether an item is "critical" or not.

Please also note that the results of the service supplied depend on the condition in which items are received, on their wear and on the care that has been taken of them over time.

As with leather, it is important that you do not allow dirt to build up on fabric garments, which over time may seep between the weave of the fabric and become very hard to remove. Dainese garments in fabric or with waterproof and breathable membranes such as D-Dry® o GORE TEX® should be washed in luke warm water (max. 30°C) with softener free, neutral soap, instead of detergents containing solvents and abrasives, unless otherwise indicated on the garment's label. When washing make sure you treat the outer fabric very delicately, excess rubbing may damage the fibres. It is best to remove padding and protections, close zips and Velcro's (this avoids their abrasive effect on the fabric or the internal netting). What's more it is important to remember to dry the garment in a dry place away from direct light and heat. Remember to take great care with garments made of several different materials. In this case, always and only follow the instructions on the garment label: the indications must be strictly observed. All technical fabrics, including elasticized versions, must always be given a very delicate cleaning treatment. In particular high-tech fibres with mechanical properties must be treated with softener free, neutral detergents. Softeners can significantly weaken the waterproof and oil-proof surface treatments and even damage the resin coatings and multi-purpose membranes in Polyurethane and based on Polytetrafluoroethylene (i.e. PTFE – Teflon) usually applied on the backing of the fabric.

Leather gloves are best not washed, avoiding dirt from building up over time and using the Dainese Cleaning & Protection Kit to keep them soft and clean. Fabric gloves, in GORE-TEX® and in D-Dry®, however if a more in-depth cleaning is needed, Dainese recommends to wash them delicately in luke warm water (max. 40°C) and non-abrasive, softener free neutral soap. Then dry them in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and heat, making sure you hang them by their cuffs, with the fingertips pointing downwards. All said, only unless otherwise indicated on the garment label. All technical fabrics, including elasticized versions, must always be given a very delicate cleaning treatment.

It is essential that you follow instructions on the garment label. The Vintage products have been made with highly selected Italian leather. These articles are characterised by a pull-up effect finish based on oils and waxes, especially created to give the garment a worn appearance, but also an aggressive look that improves with age: this peculiarity gives the characteristic Vintage effect, perfect for the 'On the Road' style concept for this garment line. It is best to avoid dirt from building up over time. To remove dirt use the special cleaning and protection Kit provided for this product line (carefully follow the application method using a soft cloth and gently rubbing the surface with delicate circular movements, never concentrating overly on the mark) Dry away from direct light and heat. IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE RESULT IT WOULD BE BEST TO CONTACT A SPECIALIST LEATHER CLEANER.
