Despite what you may have heard, leather furniture can actually be very easy to take care of and maintain its good condition as long as you have the right knowledge. Luckily for you, The Steam Team knows all about leather cleaning and conditioning, and we’ve compiled this short guide to help you take great care of your leather furniture.

Cleaning Spills

First and foremost, keeping your leather in good condition will require that you don’t let it get any spills or stains on it to begin with. When wiping a spill on leather furniture, use a soft, dry cloth and allow the area to air dry. If you aren’t able to find a cloth quick enough for whatever the reason may be, simply spread the spill towards the edge of the furniture and brush it off. Though this may sound like you’re just spreading the stain around, you’ll actually eliminate the outline of the watermark, which is the most obvious sign of a stain.

Conditioning

If your furniture is made out of real leather, then that means the material of your furniture was once part of a living animal. Since that animal is no longer able to condition the leather with its natural body oils, the burden of conditioning the leather falls on you, and you’ll have to do it regularly to keep the leather in good condition. It should be about every 6 to 12 months. For specifics, contact the manufacturer of your specific piece of furniture.

Professional Cleaning and Conditioning

While keeping your leather furniture cleaned and conditioned shouldn’t be too difficult, we understand that not everyone has the free time to do cleaning and conditioning on their own. That’s why we offer professional leather cleaning and conditioning services! For more information, please visit The Steam Team website.
