Posted by John Dawkins on 27th Mar 2019

Leather furniture is a classic and beautiful addition to your home interior. This is a timeless look that can complement any home interior décor. But did you know that leather furniture requires a special kind of care? In order to maintain its beauty and quality, you will be able to make it last and your investment to become worthwhile.

If you are considering leather furniture for your home, it is important to start by knowing how to care for and maintain them. With this knowledge, you can be in complete confidence on your next purchase.

Cleaning Tips

Leather furniture is not inexpensive. You need to follow these tips to make your leather furniture look good and in great condition for longer:

  • Start by checking the instructions label and the recommendation for how to clean the furniture (from the manufacturer). Each type of leather is different so you need to know care for the specific type of furniture you have.
  • Use dry, clean cloth to wipe down your leather furniture on a regular basis. A microfiber cloth is the best choice for this. Make it a part of your weekly cleaning routine to ensure that you can prevent dust buildup on your furniture. It is important to emphasize the need to use soft cloth and refrain from the use of abrasive scrubber.
  • Vacuum the leather furniture. For those crevices or hard-to-reach areas of the furniture, you need a vacuum. Remove the cushions on your leather furniture so you can eliminate any dust or dirt. Use different vacuum attachment to ensure deeper clean.
  • When you spill on the leather furniture, make sure to clean it quickly. Do not wait until the stain has seeped deeper into the furniture as it will be harder to clean. Avoid wiping the stain as it will only increase the stained spot – blot it instead.
  • Use cleaners that are specified primarily for leather care. Only specific types of detergents or cleaning formulas are designed for leather. If you are to use cleaning formulations that are not made for leather, it can damage the surface of the leather material.
  • The placement of your leather furniture can also help to maintain it for longer. Avoid placing your furniture directly beneath the air conditioner vent or a heater. You should also avoid direct sunlight. The high temperature can cause the leather to crack or fade easily.

Why Choose Leather Furniture?

While maintaining and cleaning leather furniture can be a challenge, there are several reasons why it is worth the effort. Leather furniture (if cared for properly) is known to be long lasting. If you choose the highest quality leather, some of them are capable of lasting a lifetime. One of the reasons why it can last for a long time is because of its durability.

But do not be intimidated by caring for leather furniture. If you know what products to use and the right caring procedures, leather is relatively easy to care for. You need to be diligent in giving it care if you want to maintain the natural beauty and look of this type of furniture.
