Here’s a clear, practical guide you can use for ARV Furniture or any quality leather furniture 👇
1. Regular Dusting & Cleaning
Dust weekly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth
For light cleaning, wipe with a slightly damp cloth (not wet)
Never use harsh chemicals, alcohol, or bleach
2. Deep Clean (Once a Month)
Use a leather-specific cleaner only
Apply gently with a soft cloth, following the grain
Always test on a hidden area first
3. Conditioning Is Key
Condition leather every 3–6 months
Use a quality leather conditioner to keep it soft and prevent cracking
Don’t over-condition—it can make leather greasy
4. Protect from Sun & Heat
Keep furniture away from direct sunlight
Avoid placing near heaters, fireplaces, or AC vents
Sun + heat = fading and drying over time
5. Handle Spills Immediately
Blot spills right away with a clean, dry cloth
Don’t rub—it spreads the stain
For oily spills, let it absorb naturally before cleaning
6. Avoid Sharp Objects
Keep keys, buckles, pet claws, and sharp edges away
Use arm covers or throws in high-use areas
7. Rotate Cushions
Rotate and fluff cushions regularly
This helps maintain shape and even wear
8. No DIY Home Remedies
Avoid vinegar, baking soda, baby wipes, or shoe polish
These can permanently damage leather
9. Maintain Room Humidity
Leather likes balanced humidity
Extremely dry air can cause cracking over time
