A leather sofa is more than just seating—it’s a statement of timeless luxury and sophistication. To make the most of your investment, it’s essential to care for it properly. With the right maintenance, your sofa will not only look stunning but also provide comfort and durability for years. At United Furniture Group, we understand the value of leather furniture and offer tips to help you preserve its elegance.
Regular Cleaning
Leather sofas benefit from gentle, consistent cleaning. Dust weekly with a soft cloth to prevent buildup. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, but avoid harsh chemicals that can strip the leather’s natural oils. Always dry thoroughly to prevent moisture damage.
Conditioning the Leather
Leather is a natural material that requires hydration to stay supple. Apply a leather conditioner every six to twelve months to keep the surface soft and resistant to cracks. Conditioning also restores the leather’s rich sheen, enhancing its luxurious appearance.
Protecting Against Damage
Position your sofa away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading and drying. Keep it clear of heat sources like radiators or fireplaces. Use throws or cushions in high-use areas to protect against wear while adding decorative flair.
Handling Spills and Stains
Accidents happen, but prompt care prevents long-term damage. Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth—never rub. For tougher stains, use products designed specifically for leather care. Avoid using household cleaners, which can cause discoloration.
Maintaining Structure
To preserve shape and comfort, rotate cushions and avoid sitting in the same spot every time. This distributes wear evenly and helps maintain the sofa’s original form. Leather naturally develops character over time, so embrace the patina that adds uniqueness to your piece.
