Got it — here are smart, practical tips tailored for cleaning bedroom furniture with leatherette upholstery and chrome legs, especially useful in Mississauga / Ontario’s climate 🇨🇦
🛏️ Leatherette (Faux Leather) Care Tips
1. Dust weekly
Use a soft microfiber cloth to prevent dirt buildup that can cause cracking.
2. Gentle cleaning only
Mix warm water + a few drops of mild dish soap
Wipe gently with a damp (not wet) cloth
Follow with a dry cloth right away
3. Avoid harsh products
❌ No bleach
❌ No alcohol, acetone, or ammonia
❌ No abrasive sponges
These can peel or dull leatherette fast.
4. Handle spills immediately
Blot (don’t rub) spills ASAP
For oily stains, use a tiny bit of dish soap, then rinse with a clean damp cloth
5. Protect from heat & sun
Keep furniture away from direct sunlight, heaters, and vents
Ontario winters + indoor heating can dry out leatherette over time
✨ Chrome Legs & Metal Parts
1. Basic shine
Warm water + mild soap
Dry immediately to avoid water spots
2. Extra polish
White vinegar + water (1:1) for fingerprints
Buff with a dry microfiber cloth
3. Prevent rust (important in humid seasons)
Always dry legs fully
In spring/summer humidity, wipe chrome weekly
4. Skip abrasives
❌ Steel wool
❌ Scrub pads
These scratch chrome permanently
