Leather furniture gives your home and office a warm and welcoming feel. From cozy couches to luxurious chairs, it creates a polished and sophisticated ambiance. However, it also requires particular care, and using the wrong products will lead to damage. Here is a brief guide to maintaining your furniture and how often you should clean it. 

Cleaning It

Leather is an organic substance and contains small pores that absorb certain cleaners. To keep the material soft and supple, only use pH balanced products, such as baby soap or specialized furniture cleaner. Since this material can dry out, you should also condition the surface regularly with oils specifically made to soften the texture. Apply all cleaners and conditioners with a soft microfiber cloth and gently buff them into the furniture

While it might be tempting, never use harsh cleaners, solvents, or abrasives on them. You should also keep leather furniture out of direct sunlight to protect the color.

Frequency

Vacuum leather furniture regularly to remove surface grime and wipe up spills immediately before they absorb into the material. Use a conditioning agent at least once every six to 12 months. Since some leather conditioners contain pigment, ask your furniture manufacturer or fabric care team for suggested products.
