Do you love leather but the idea of maintaining it has you stressed out? Or do you already have leather furniture but are uncertain about what you need to do? Today, we’re going to break it down for you with the general rules of cleaning leather.
- Vacuum. Get all the crumbs, debris, dust and whatever small bits off with a gentle vacuuming to prepare your furniture for the next step.
- Using a warm, damp cloth, wipe down the surface. Follow up with a dry cloth to wipe away any excess moisture.
- If there are any stubborn stains, repeat if necessary. Preferably, try to wipe up spills as they happen to prevent staining.
- If there are heavily soiled areas, you can follow the instructions for a recommended leather cleaning soap.
- Always double check your specific piece’s information on what they recommend for their products – leather is created in so many different ways and following the procedure to take care of it properly based on its own unique characteristics will help prolong your leather’s life and keep it looking healthy and new. Happy seating!
