Maintenance

Genuine Leather Care:

Genuine leather is durable and will last you a lifetime if properly maintained. Regular maintenance is required for genuine leather

Use leather cleaning wipes 3-4 times a year or more often in sunny or dry rooms, homes with pets, and high-use rooms. These wipes clean, add moisture and add a protective barrier to your leather furniture which can help to prevent scratches.

Remove a build-up of dust on leather with a slightly damp cloth. Dust will need to be removed from time to time because dust can be abrasive and wear leather down.

Do not use baby wipes to clean your leather furniture. These contain chemicals that will damage your leather over time.

Remove stains that have just occurred (grease, wine etc.), using a slightly damp cloth. Using leather wipes creates a barrier to prevent stains from absorbing in.

Remove ink by using an ink remover wipe. This can be found in most leather cleaning kits.

Avoid placing your genuine leather furniture next to heat sources such as radiators, fires, or areas that receive a lot of sun. This will dry out your leather upholstery quicker which can lead to damage.
