Good Care and Cleaning for Leather

 Always protect your fine leather furniture from direct sunlight! The ultra violet rays of the sun are your furniture's worst enemy. Whether leather, suede or fabric the sun dries out the upholstered covering and causes it to fade and wear out. You will more than double the life of your upholstery by staying out of the sun. When not possible, UV films on the windows will help.

Your leather furniture can last for years simply by wiping the leather with a warm slightly damp cloth once per month. This will prevent dust and body oils from creating a build up. As easy as it sounds, this maintenance will prolong the life of your furniture. This maintenance procedure should NOT be used on suede.

Qualified leather cleaning technicians understand that maintenance for your leather is very important. As with any fabric, professional cleaning technicians are able to get the deep soil and allergens out and keep your expensive leather furniture in a healthy and happy condition.

As time goes by, no matter how careful you try to be, stubborn spots and stains are inevitable. As with any fabric or leather, always test an inconspicuous area to see how the spotting cleaner will react with the upholstered covering. Use a mild solution of liquid ivory soap and clear lukewarm water. Apply this cleaning solution to a clean wet sponge. Never apply any cleaning solution or water directly onto the leather. This can cause permanent damage. Gently apply the sponge with the cleaning solution in it onto the stained area. Do not saturate the area. Rinse the cleaning solution out with a clean fairly wet sponge. Use a clean white terry cloth towel and gently thoroughly dry the area.Suede Shearling Jacket
