Leather Care
To effectively maintain your leather furniture such as sofas, chairs or others, it is essential to follow regular steps of cleaning, protection and nutrition of the leather. Here are some practical tips:
1. Regular cleaning:
- Dusting: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust from the surface of the leather. Weekly dusting prevents the buildup of dirt that could become embedded in the pores of the leather.
- Deep cleaning: Once or twice a month, do a more thorough cleaning. Prepare a solution of lukewarm water and a few drops of Marseille soap or neutral soap. Lightly dampen a soft cloth with this solution and gently clean the leather using circular movements. Avoid getting the leather too wet to prevent moisture stains. After cleaning, dry carefully with a clean, dry cloth.
2. Leather protection:
- Avoid exposure to sun and heat: Place your leather furniture out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources such as radiators or fireplaces. Prolonged exposure can cause the leather to fade and dry out.
- Using the right products: Apply a specific leather protector to create a barrier against stains and wear. These products help maintain the appearance and durability of the leather.
3. Nutrition and hydration:
- Nourishing creams and milks: To maintain the suppleness and shine of the leather, it is recommended to regularly apply a nourishing cream or milk specially designed for leather. These products penetrate deeply and prevent drying and cracking. Apply the product using a soft cloth in circular movements, then let it dry before polishing with a clean cloth.
4. Additional precautions:
- Pre-test: Before using a new product or home remedy, test it on a small, inconspicuous area of the furniture to check how the leather reacts. This helps prevent potential damage.
- Avoid harsh products: Do not use products containing alcohol, ammonia or solvents, as they can damage the leather. Choose gentle products specifically formulated for leather care.
By following these recommendations, you will extend the life of your leather furniture and maintain its aesthetic appearance over time.
