BUYERS GUIDE: LEATHER SOFA CARE

Leather sofas surely add elegance and coziness to today’s modern home. To ensure that you and your family can enjoy these sofas for years to come, here are some simple tips on how to clean and maintain them:

1. Keep it clean. Dust and vacuum often. For daily or weekly dusting, use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth slightly moist with distilled water. Do not use too wet a cloth and wipe the area gently.

 

2. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight. Although protected leather is resistant to fading, direct prolonged exposure to the sun will cause any material to fade. Therefore, it is important to position your leather sofa furniture away from windows, skylights or other intense light sources.

NOTE: If you are disinfecting a room with a UV light, make sure to cover your leather sofa with a cloth or other covering as repeated exposure to UV light may be harmful to the material. 

 

3. Clean spills quickly. Just like any upholstery, leather can become permanently stained if food spills are not cleaned. When tackling a spill, use a clean cloth with some distilled water. If necessary, use a MILD soap solution. Avoid rubbing too hard into the sofa, use a blotting motion instead.

 

4. Moisturize Regularly. To maintain its supple feel, moisturize your sofa with a leather conditioner every six to twelve months. Remember to always do a test on a hidden area before using any chemical on your sofa to make sure it is suited for the leather. Remember that if you purchased a half-leather sofa, part of this covering will be a synthetic material so you need to do your spot test on two areas.
