Here’s a simple and effective guide to caring for your leather furniture from ARV Furniture to keep it looking luxurious and lasting for years:
🛋️ How to Care for Your Leather Furniture – ARV Furniture Tips
1. Regular Dusting & Vacuuming
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth weekly to wipe down the leather.
Vacuum the crevices with a brush attachment to remove dust and debris.
2. Keep It Moisturized
Apply a leather conditioner every 6–12 months to prevent drying and cracking.
Make sure the product is suitable for your leather type (aniline, semi-aniline, or pigmented).
3. Wipe Spills Immediately
Blot—not rub—spills using a clean, dry cloth.
For sticky messes, use a slightly damp cloth with distilled water.
4. Avoid Harsh Cleaners
Never use bleach, ammonia, or all-purpose cleaners.
Stick to leather-specific cleaners recommended by ARV Furniture or your retailer.
5. Shield from Heat & Sunlight
Place your furniture away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators or vents).
Prolonged exposure can lead to fading or cracking.
6. Rotate Cushions Regularly
Swap cushions and change their position to promote even wear.
7. Protect from Sharp Objects
Keep pets’ claws trimmed and avoid sitting with keys or tools in your pocket.
Consider using throws or covers in high-use areas.
8. Professional Cleaning
For tough stains or deep cleaning, call a professional leather cleaning service once a year.
