Maintaining white leather furniture requires regular care to keep it looking fresh and free from stains. Here are some tips tailored for ARV Furniture pieces:
1. General Cleaning
Dust Regularly: Use a soft microfiber cloth to dust the surface weekly.
Mild Soap Solution: Clean with a mixture of mild soap and distilled water. Dampen the cloth (not soaking wet), wipe gently, and dry immediately with a soft, dry cloth.
Avoid Abrasive Cleaners: Never use harsh chemicals, alcohol-based solutions, or bleach as they can damage the leather.
2. Stain Removal
Act Quickly: Address spills immediately to prevent staining.
Blot, Don’t Rub: Use a dry cloth or paper towel to blot liquids. For oily stains, sprinkle a little baking soda, let it sit for a few hours, then vacuum it off.
Leather Cleaner: Use a specialized leather cleaner for tough stains.
3. Protection Against Wear
Use a Leather Conditioner: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every 6–12 months to maintain softness and prevent cracking.
Protect from Sunlight: Keep the furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources to avoid discoloration and drying.
Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep pets with sharp nails or sharp-edged objects away to prevent scratches.
4. Regular Maintenance
Use Slipcovers or Throws: When entertaining or during high-traffic periods, cover the furniture with throws or slipcovers for extra protection.
Rotate Cushions: If your white leather furniture has removable cushions, rotate them regularly to ensure even wear.
5. Professional Care
Annual Cleaning: Schedule professional leather cleaning every 12–18 months to deep-clean and rejuvenate your furniture.
Repair Scratches: Use a leather repair kit or consult a professional for minor scratches or scuffs.
