🛋️ How to Care for Your Leather Furniture
ARV Furniture Tips
1. Regular Dusting & Cleaning
Wipe weekly with a dry, soft microfiber cloth to remove dust and dirt.
Use a damp (not wet) cloth monthly to gently clean the surface.
Avoid using harsh chemicals or all-purpose cleaners—they can damage the leather.
2. Condition Every 6–12 Months
Apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking.
Test the conditioner on a small hidden area first.
Follow the grain of the leather when applying.
3. Avoid Direct Sunlight & Heat
Keep your leather furniture away from radiators, heaters, and direct sunlight to prevent fading or drying.
Use curtains or blinds to protect from UV rays if placed near windows.
4. Clean Spills Immediately
Blot (don’t rub) spills with a clean, dry cloth.
For sticky spots, use a cloth slightly dampened with distilled water.
Do not use soap or detergent.
5. Handle Scratches Carefully
Minor scratches can often be minimized by rubbing them gently with your fingers—your skin’s natural oils may help.
For deeper marks, use a leather repair kit or consult a professional.
6. Vacuum the Crevices
Use a soft brush attachment to vacuum crumbs and dust from seams and corners.
7. Rotate Cushions
If your leather furniture has detachable cushions, rotate them regularly to ensure even wear and maintain shape.
8. Keep Pets’ Nails Trimmed
Pet claws can scratch leather easily. A blanket or cover can help minimize damage if your pets love the sofa.
