Helpful Tips For Cleaning Leather Furniture

 Routine maintenance and care of your leather furniture is essential to protecting leather over time, extending the life out of your furniture, and getting the most out of your initial investment. Leather furniture that is properly cared for and protected through the use of leather cleaning and conditioning products will allow owners many years of enjoyment and a great deal of accomplishment and satisfaction out of their furniture.

Using the correct products on your leather can go a long way in terms of bringing out the soft, natural qualities of the it, and can add many years to the lifespan of your furniture. A mild cleaner will lift dirt particles that are left behind and remove bodily oils that can be easily left behind by frequent use. A quality leather conditioner will coat the leather to repel stains and reduce the possibility of fading, protecting leather furniture for many years to come.

However, if you have furniture that has been neglected, and stains have been allowed to set in deep, particularly if you have older leather furniture, it is advised that you seek the help of a professional leather cleaner to help restore your leather furniture to its original quality. Many times, trying other home remedies and leather cleaning products that are intended more for routine use can do more damage than good in these particular circumstances.

When it comes to protecting furniture, using a leather conditioner is equally important and routinely using a leather cleaner and protective cream. Regular wear and exposure to heat can deplete a number of the oils that are used in the tanning process that give leather furniture its natural glow. Because of this, today's quality leather conditioning products can help to replace many of those oils, giving new life to older leather furniture and protecting furniture from future damage. For most leather furniture, a good leather conditioner should be used about every six to nine months, in order to prevent stiff, dry, or cracked leather surfaces.

When using a leather conditioner, you should use a few light applications of the product, and avoid soaking the leather too heavily. The conditioner should be allowed to penetrate the leather or surface for about a half an hour before the next coat of conditioner is applied. Leather conditioners that contain silicones or waxes should be avoided, as they can e too heavy and do not allow the it to breathe.

To apply the leather conditioner, you should also use a soft, lint free cloth, such as microfiber, and the cloth should be slightly dampened with water prior to applying the leather conditioner. Rub the leather conditioner into the nap of the leather gently until the entire surface is covered.

Although there are many conditioners on today's market, it is important that you use one that is intended for protecting furniture, and read the label carefully prior to use. This is especially important if you have older leather furniture that may be more valuable.

One other valuable tidbit of advice is to try to avoid stains, spills, and contact with moisture as much as possible. While sometimes accidents happen, every little bit that you can do in terms of protecting leather furniture will go a long way towards getting the most out of your investment.hi
