How to maintain leather furniture

Here are practical suggestions for maintaining leather furniture, combined with daily cleaning, regular care, and environmental maintenance:

1、 Daily cleaning

Gently wipe

Gently wipe the surface dust with a soft cotton cloth or microfiber cloth, avoiding rough fabrics or brushes to prevent scratching the leather.

Timely handle stains

If any liquid splashes onto the sofa, immediately use a dry cloth to absorb it and avoid penetration. Oil stains, ballpoint pen prints, and other stains can be cleaned with a neutral leather cleaner (tested in a concealed area first), and then wiped clean with a damp cloth.

2、 Regular care

Using professional nursing products

Apply leather care products (such as mink oil and sheep oil) evenly every 1-6 months, gently massage until absorbed, and keep the leather soft and elastic. Avoid using products containing wax to prevent pore blockage.

Deep Cleaning

Every 2-3 months, use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust accumulation in the gaps, or wipe the surface with a wrung out damp cloth to ensure it dries completely before applying the care solution.

3、 Environmental control

Temperature and humidity regulation

Maintain indoor humidity between 40% -60%, use a humidifier during dry seasons, and turn on the air conditioner for dehumidification or place desiccants when humid. Avoid leather from being exposed to extreme temperature and humidity environments for a long time.

Sunscreen and ventilation

Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading and cracking; Place away from heat sources such as radiators and stoves. Regularly ventilate and maintain air circulation.

4、 Special case handling

Moisture prevention during the rainy season

Wipe off surface moisture with a soft cloth and apply maintenance oil to prevent mold growth; Mold spots can be removed with mold removers before care.

Minor wear repair

Small scratches can be dipped in a small amount of care oil and repeatedly wiped with fingertips or cotton cloth until they fade away; Larger cracks are recommended for professional repair.

5、 Precautions

Avoid sharp objects: prevent sharp objects from scratching the leather surface.

Reduce direct contact: Avoid direct contact with leather such as sweat and cosmetics, and use a sofa towel for isolation.

Seasonal adjustment: Regularly change the position of the sofa to avoid color differences caused by long-term pressure or uneven lighting.

Tip:

Banana peel wiping can remove slight oil stains, while milk wiping can nourish leather.

If the leather becomes hard, apply Vaseline and rub it repeatedly with a soft cloth to restore softness.

Proper maintenance can significantly extend the lifespan of leather furniture, maintaining its beauty and comfort.
