Leather Care and Cleaning Tips

Proper leather care is essential to maintain the beauty, comfort, and longevity of your furniture. With regular cleaning and conditioning, your leather can stay soft, supple, and attractive for many years.

Weekly Maintenance

  • Dust leather surfaces regularly using a soft, clean cloth.
  • For routine cleaning, lightly dampen the cloth with a quality leather cleaner and gently wipe the surface.
  • Unlike fabric upholstery, leather does not trap dust, pet hair, or allergens, making it an excellent choice for allergy-sensitive households.

Deep Cleaning

To keep leather looking its best, perform a thorough cleaning every 4–6 months depending on usage.

Recommended Schedule:

  • Low-traffic furniture: Every 6 months
  • Frequently used furniture: Every 4 months

Pay special attention to:

  • Armrests
  • Seat cushions
  • Front rails
  • Back cushions
  • Areas that come into direct contact with skin, hair, and clothing

Leather Conditioning & Protection

After cleaning, always apply a professional leather conditioner or protection cream.

Benefits include:

  • Restoring moisture and flexibility
  • Preventing premature cracking and drying
  • Enhancing stain resistance
  • Extending the life of your furniture

For best results, condition all exposed leather surfaces and high-contact areas.

Additional Leather Care Tips

  • Keep leather furniture away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
  • Avoid placing furniture near heat sources such as radiators, fireplaces, or heating vents.
  • Clean spills immediately using a soft, dry cloth.
  • Never use harsh household cleaners, bleach, ammonia, or abrasive products on leather.
