How to clean and care for leather on furniture

Leather furniture

Although today we have leatherette material to imitate leather, the truth is that we know that a sofa or a piece of leather will last much longer than an imitation one, so we usually invest more in these leather furniture, especially if they are great classics, such as a Chester sofa.

Leather is a material that resists a lot, and also that it is easy to maintain, but at the same time we must have some basic care for it. We are going to give you a few ideas to clean and care for leather on furniture. A well-cared-for material can last for many years and even pass from generation to generation.

Wipe clean

Although we are used to removing dust with the vacuum cleaner in armchairs that are made of fabric, the truth is that in the case of leather, the best thing to remove dust every week or every fifteen days is a slightly damp cloth. It should never be wet, because the leather gets damaged when it gets too wet. However, a slightly damp cloth will trap the dust and will not harm the leather.

Remove stains

If something falls on the sofa, what we should do is try to absorb with paper like the kitchen one. Once the liquid has not penetrated, we can clean with soaps and specific waxes for cleaning and caring for this type of furniture. We should never rub, as we can damage the leather and make the stain penetrate more. In general, leather does not absorb like fabric, but if the stain sets it is more difficult to remove.

Use specific products

We must always use specific products for leather. Both when cleaning and moisturizing. There are special waxes to hydrate the skin so that the leather does not dry out and crack and spoil.
