How To Properly Care For Your Leather Furniture

Professional Residential Cleaning Services in Austin, Texas

Some people out there complain that leather furniture maintenance is too much or too complicated, and that leather furniture isn't worth owning, but here at The Steam Team we don’t think so at all! As long as you have a basic understanding of leather furniture care, anyone can have a leather couch, chair or other piece of furniture and keep in in great condition! Let’s discuss what needs to be done to keep your leather in tip-top shape.

Cleaning Spills

As with any piece of furniture, you’ll probably spill something on it at some point, and cleaning up those spills quickly before they can become stains is key. Leather tends to stain easier than some other materials, but as long as you use a soft, dry cloth to wipe up the spill you should be just fine. After you’ve wiped the area, allow the leather to air dry to help avoid staining.

Annual Conditioning

With real leather, since it used to be animal hide, it requires a certain level of moisture to be maintained for it to stay healthy. Most leather will need to be conditioned once every 12 months, but some leathers need conditioning every 6 months. Since this can change based on your specific make of leather, be sure to check the tag or call the manufacturer and ask. But keep in mind that only products specifically designed for leather conditioning can be used on leather. Other products may do harm to the material.
