| LEVANTE Care and
Cleaning Step
1 cleaners: Nonabrasive household cleaners to used with water and a soft cloth.
. Formula 409® All-purpose Spray Cleaner
. Fantastik® Spray Cleaner
. Other similar household cleaners and bleaches
Step 2 cleaners: Solvent type cleaner to be liberally applied with a soft
cloth. Dry area with another cloth, rinse with
clean water and dry.
. Rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol)
. Lighter fluid
Step 3 cleaners: Strong, active solvent cleaners to be applied with a soft
cloth. Stain should be removed with less
than 6 rubs, stain has set and probably cannot be removed. Dry area with another cloth,
rinse with
clean water and dry.
*Caution: These solvents are highly flammable. Exercise proper care in cleaning and
notify personnel in area of danger. Wear rubber gloves during all cleaning activity. Use
caution in cleaning around buttons, sticking and wooden or decorative trim, since these
solvents could easily damage such areas.
**Although vinyl's protected with PreFixx are resistant to most common stains, some
fabric dyes have the ability to create a permanent stain. To minimize any problem from
these and other stains, it is recommended that as soon as they are noticed all stains
should be cleaned, making sure the recommended cleaning steps are followed in order.

| ULTRA-LEATHER So Like Leather.
Only Better |
When it comes to capturing the sumptuous aesthetics of fine leather,
no material comes closer than Ultraleather HP. This leather-like luxury, combined with a
totally unique blend of properties plus a palette of 45 designed colors, make Ultraleather
ideal for a host of residential and contract applications. At home, Ultraleather HP
delivers no-fuss beauty, comfort and toughness in upholstery, cushions and wall coverings.
On the job, the high-performance fabric fulfills the demanding requirements of hospitals,
hotels, restaurants, offices, auditoriums, sports stadiums and other public spaces, as
well as luxury yachts, corporate and commercial aircraft and recreational vehicles. Best
of all, Ultraleather UP lets you avoid the drawback of real-leather - as well as the
pitfalls of vinyl-based products.
Compared to leather, for example, Ultraleather offers low waste, uniform color and
texture, excellent color fatness, stain resistance, animal friendly production and
remarkable ease of care - all at a fraction of a cost of genuine leather. In addition,
Ultraleather UP provides superior durability and abrasion resistance, passing 50,000+ rubs
of the Wyzendbeek.
And when it comes to leather alternatives, vinyl-based products simply cant match the
supple softness, plaint drape, natural graining and all-temperature comfort of
Ultraleather HP.
Beauty, Luxury, Performance. Ultraleather HP is so like leather. Only better.

EASY AFTER CARE Stains
and spots have found their match.
In applications where ease of care counts, Ultraleather far surpasses genuine leather, as
well as most upholstery fabrics. Spot cleaning and regular care are virtually worry-free.
Most every-day stains - including red wine, coffee and tomato sauce - lift easily with
soap and water, leaving no stain or discoloration behind. For tougher stains encountered
in any residential or contract environment, spot cleaning with a mild cleaning fluid
followed by a water rinse usually yields quick, ring-free results.
AESTHETICS A new era in faux leather luxury.
Forget everything you think you know about leather alternatives. Like the old adage that
they're "stiiff, sticky and hot" - all the con's of yesterday's vinyl-based
products. Ultraleather HP offers a new level of luxury. Indeed, when it comes to
duplicating the look, feel and overall aesthetics of fine European calfskin, Ultraleather
HP is unrivaled.
FUTURE FRIENDLY In sync with environmental concerns.
Ultraleather HP contains none of the volatile plasticizers and stabilizers found in
vinyl-based products. In fact, the technologically advanced, polyurethane-based product
employs a back-cloth layer of reinforced rayon-a degradable wood by-product. What's more,
Ultraleather HP is created by an environment safe process in which solvents are recaptured
and subsequently recycled. And, unlike real leather, no animals are harmed and toxic
after-care is eliminated.
HEALTHCARE COMPATIBLE Block hygiene headaches beautifully.
When the specs say your fabric must act as a hygienic barrier, Ultraleather HP offers a
hardworking solution. Waterproof resistant, it protects foam cushions and padding from
blood, urine, sweat, medical products drinks and other contaminants. What's more,
Ultraleather HP demonstrates some inherent antimicrobials properties and stands up to
routine disinfection with a 5.1 bleach and water solution.
