As the festive season approaches, your leather sofa becomes the centre stage for family gatherings and holiday cheer. To ensure your beloved furniture is ready to shine, a bit of DIY maintenance can go a long way. In this article, we'll share engaging tips for sofa leather care that you can easily do at home. And when it's time for professional attention, our team at Honest Crafters is just a click away!
1. Dusting Elegance:
Kick off your leather sofa cleaning routine with a gentle dusting. Use a soft, dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to remove surface dust. This simple step helps maintain the sofa's polished appearance.
2. Stain Shield Secrets:
For unexpected spills or stains, a quick response is key. Blot the affected area with a clean, dry cloth as soon as possible. Avoid rubbing, as it might spread the stain. For deeper cleaning, a mixture of mild soap and warm water can be your secret weapon but may not always work on different kinds of stains - it's best to consult a leather expert so we can accurately diagnose the stains and prescribe the treatment as necessary!
3. Nourishment with a leather conditioner:
Give your leather sofa a luxurious treat with a leather conditioner. Simply lather some of our leather conditioner (contact us to purchase) onto your sofa and gently rub it in a circular fashion! This helps keep the leather supple and prevents it from drying out.
4. Pillow Fluffing and Turning:
Rotate and fluff sofa cushions regularly to ensure even wear. This prevents the formation of unsightly dents and keeps your sofa looking plump and inviting. If your sofa has removable cushions, consider flipping them to distribute the wear evenly.
5. Sun Shield Technique:
Direct sunlight can take a toll on your leather sofa's vibrancy. Position your sofa away from prolonged sunlight exposure or use curtains and blinds to shield it. This simple step helps prevent fading and ensures your sofa retains its rich colour.
6. Emergency Scratch Solutions:
If you find a scratch on your leather sofa, don't panic. A sofa leather restoration and repair with our on-site restoration team is available from Monday-Saturday at your convenience. All you have to do is contact us, snap a couple of photos, and book an appointment with us!
