Cleaning your Leather Furniture

Leather is a natural material. Follow these tips and you can maintain the look and feel of your fine leather furniture for many years. 


  • Don't place your furniture near a heat source. Make sure that there is a minimum of about a foot between your furniture and the heat source.
  • Protect your furniture from direct sunlight.
  • Do no expose to abrasive cleaners, powdered products, stain removers, solvents, turpentine or shoe polish.
  • Avoid strong rubbing.
CLEANING TIPS

  • Dust Regularly.
  • Dusting at regular intervals with a soft dry cloth. Vacuum occasionally with the soft upholstery attachment.
  • Use a Damp Cloth Occasionally.
  • A clean, damp cloth or sponge may be used for soil not removed by dusting.
SPOTS & SPILLS 

  • Wipe up excessive liquid immediately with a clean cloth or sponge. If necessary, use clean lukewarm water and let the leather air dry.
STUBBORN SPOTS & STAINS 

  • Apply a mild non-detergent soap solution with a clean, wet sponge. Rinse well and let air dry.
OIL, BUTTER, GREASE
  • Wipe the leather with a clean dry cloth and let the remainder of the oil dissipate into the leather. Do not apply water or try to wash a grease spot.
