Having Leather furniture can be a great addition to any home. Leather is stylish, timeless, and durable, making it a great investment for any living space. But with leather furniture comes certain care considerations that must be taken in order to keep it looking its best.
Here are some tips on how to properly care for your leather:
1) Cleaning- Leather should be cleaned regularly with a mild detergent or cleaning solution specifically made for leather. Avoid using abrasive products as this could cause damage and fading of the leather surface over time. When wiping down the surface use a soft cloth or microfiber towel to avoid scratching the leather finish.
2) Protecting- Leather needs protection from spills and other stains. Leather protectants or leather creams should be used on the leather surface to create a barrier of protection against water, dirt and oils which can cause staining or fading.
3) Moisturizing- Leather needs to be moisturized in order to prevent it from cracking over time. Leather conditioners are used for this purpose and should be applied every few months. The conditioner helps keep the leather supple and helps it retain its original look for many years.
4) Avoid Sunlight- Leather should not be left out in direct sunlight as this can cause fading and discoloration over time. Keep it away from hot sunny windows or any other areas where there is direct sunlight exposure.
