Here are some practical and effective tips to help you care for your leather furniture from ARV Furniture, ensuring it stays beautiful and lasts for years:
🧴 1. Regular Cleaning
Dust weekly with a soft, dry cloth or vacuum using a brush attachment.
Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth—never soak the leather.
Use a mild soap solution (1 part baby soap to 10 parts water) for occasional cleaning. Wipe off with a dry cloth afterward.
☀️ 2. Avoid Direct Sunlight & Heat
Keep furniture away from windows, radiators, and fireplaces.
Direct heat and sunlight can dry out leather, causing cracks and fading.
💧 3. Condition Every 6–12 Months
Use a leather conditioner specifically designed for genuine leather.
Conditioning prevents dryness, cracking, and helps retain the leather’s suppleness.
Always test any product on a hidden area first.
🍕 4. Clean Spills Immediately
Blot (don’t rub) spills with a clean, dry cloth.
For grease or oil stains, blot gently and let it dissipate. Avoid water-based cleaning as it may set the stain.
🚫 5. Avoid Harsh Cleaners
Never use alcohol, ammonia, or abrasive cleaners—they can permanently damage the leather.
Stick to pH-balanced leather cleaners when needed.
🐾 6. Protect from Scratches
Be mindful of pets, sharp objects, and jeans with studs or zippers.
Use throws or covers if your furniture gets heavy use.
🔄 7. Rotate Cushions
Regularly rotate and flip any removable cushions to ensure even wear.
🧼 8. Professional Cleaning
Every 1–2 years, consider professional leather cleaning to deep-clean and rejuvenate the leather.
By following these tips, your leather furniture from ARV Furniture will remain a luxurious and long-lasting centerpiece in your home. Let me know if you want care advice for a specific type of leather (like top-grain, bonded, or faux).
