Because leather furniture is a significant investment, proper maintenance is essential to help it age well. To properly care for leather, try to execute the following tips:
1. Be mindful of furniture placement. Do not position leather furniture where it receives direct sunlight, as this will cause it to dry and crack over time. Also, place furniture away from air conditioning vents and radiators.
2. Avoid using even mild soaps or detergents on leather furniture, as even gentle soaps can remove the color from leather. Furthermore, oil soaps can stain and discolor leather.
3. In case of spills, carefully blot the spot with a clean towel. Baking soda or talcum powder can also help absorb grease or oil.
4. Protect new furniture with professionally-applied leather protector. To maintain the leather further, occasionally wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth.
