Configure Love Your Leather: A Fool Proof Guide to Caring For Your Leather Furniture

Your leather couch is the bomb. It rules. It steals the show.  It fact, it’s kind of the highlight of your entire living room. So, the question shouldn’t be, “What is your leather furniture doing for you,” but instead, “What are you doing for your leather furniture?” Give your leather some love by caring and cleaning it the right way. Here’s a guide to show you just how to accomplish just that.

Use a Clean Cloth to Get Rid of Spills and Stains

Spills and stains can be a nightmare for many types of synthetic fabric. But, because leather is a natural fabric (that ages well when taken care of) it is relatively easy to clean up. Did your teenager just spill a few drops of soda on your favorite leather seat? Did you drop your coffee cup (half full of strong Italian roast) onto your red leather couch?

When it’s leather, it’s a no-brainer! Simply take a clean, damp rag and wipe the affected area clean. Just be sure to steer clear of chemical-based products. Products that contain detergents can actually damage your leather instead of cleaning up the spills you intended, causing long term damages to ensue instead of a short term solution.

Restoring Leather Furniture

Throughout the lifetime of your leather furniture it is bound to get a couple nicks and scrapes along the way.
