If you have a leather suite, it is likely that it was a large expense when you purchased it. Leather is a natural material and therefore it is really important that you have an understanding of leather care. Why? This will allow you to get the most from your leather furniture. Furthermore, it is likely to make your leather furniture last longer.
For this matter, investing in your leather care is not an expense, but should be viewed as an investment. There are lots of factors that impact how your leather suite will age. This takes into account usage, location within a room, moisture, direct sunlight and heat. Different times of year provide different challenges for leather. Here are some tips to help with your leather care routine.
Leather Care Tips
Leather is a porous material. It will absorb liquids quickly and will discolour and stain, if left. Spills should be dealt with as soon as possible. The longer a stain is left on the leather, the more of a challenge it will be to remove it.
There are leather protector products. These bond to the leather and add an additional barrier. This will help to keep moisture and stains from seeping into the surface. We are on hand to help with the best leather protection products for your individual suite. It is always best to seek the advice of a professional.
Over time, your leather will likely lose shape. This is an inescapable fact. There are a few factors that cause this. Most common is heat from our bodies and the sun. They will cause the leather to loosen and warp due to the moisture. The leather will then dry in the shape that you leave them in. This may appear as sagging in your leather furniture. Therefore, it is a really good idea to reshape and re-plump after you have used your leather suite.
Clean your leather. This may seem like an obvious point, but it is important to build a routine around leather cleaning. If excess liquid is used to clean your leather, you are likely to be left with water marks. If you are at all unsure of how best to clean leather, it is always advisable to call a leather cleaning specialist. This is a cost-effective and convenient way of looking after your leather.
