Here’s a detailed care guide specifically for your leather furniture from ARV Furniture to keep it looking great and lasting longer:
🧼 1. Regular Cleaning
Dust Weekly: Use a soft microfiber cloth to gently dust the surface.
Wipe Monthly: Dampen a clean cloth with distilled water (or a leather-specific cleaner) and wipe down gently. Avoid over-wetting.
Vacuum Crevices: Use a brush attachment to remove debris between cushions and seams.
🚫 2. Avoid Harsh Products
No bleach, ammonia, or alcohol-based cleaners—they can dry out or discolor leather.
Skip All-Purpose Cleaners: Stick to products designed for leather only.
🌞 3. Protect from Sunlight & Heat
No Direct Sunlight: It can cause fading and drying.
Keep Away from Heat Sources: Don’t place leather furniture near radiators, fireplaces, or heating vents.
💧 4. Condition the Leather
Every 6-12 Months: Apply a leather conditioner to prevent drying or cracking. Test in a hidden area first.
Use Trusted Brands: Choose conditioners safe for your furniture’s leather type (consult ARV Furniture for specifics).
⚠️ 5. Handle Spills Immediately
Blot—Don’t Rub: Use a clean, dry cloth to blot liquids immediately.
Use Mild Soap for Light Stains: Mix a tiny bit of mild soap with distilled water, gently wipe, and dry thoroughly.
🪑 6. Rotate and Rearrange
Even Out Wear: Swap cushions and occasionally change furniture position to prevent uneven fading or wear.
🐾 7. Prevent Damage
Pet Claws: Keep pets’ nails trimmed to avoid scratches.
No Sharp Objects: Avoid sitting with sharp items like keys or belts on leather surfaces.
🧽 8. Professional Care
Every 1–2 Years: Hire a professional leather cleaning service for deep maintenance, especially for high-use items.
