Caring for your leather furniture from ARV Furniture ensures it remains luxurious, durable, and beautiful for years. Here’s a comprehensive care guide:
🧴 1. Regular Cleaning
Weekly Dusting: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and debris.
Monthly Wipe Down: Dampen a cloth with distilled water and gently wipe surfaces. Avoid soaking.
Use Leather Cleaner: Every 2–3 months, use a pH-balanced leather cleaner (never all-purpose cleaners or alcohol-based products).
☀️ 2. Protect from Sun & Heat
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged UV exposure can fade and dry out the leather.
Keep Away from Heat Sources: Maintain a safe distance from radiators, fireplaces, and heating vents to prevent drying and cracking.
💦 3. Moisturize the Leather
Apply a leather conditioner every 6–12 months to maintain softness and prevent cracks.
Use products recommended by ARV Furniture or labeled safe for your leather type (aniline, semi-aniline, or pigmented).
🧽 4. Treat Spills Immediately
Blot, Don’t Rub: Use a clean, dry cloth to gently blot any spills.
Mild Soap Solution: For stains, use a mixture of mild soap and water. Test in a hidden area first.
Avoid soaking or harsh scrubbing.
🐾 5. Prevent Scratches
Keep pets’ claws trimmed and avoid placing sharp objects or jeans with studs on the furniture.
Use throw blankets or arm covers on high-use areas.
🪑 6. Rotate Cushions
If your leather furniture has removable cushions, rotate them regularly to ensure even wear and maintain shape.
❌ 7. Avoid DIY Fixes for Major Damage
For deep scratches, color fading, or tears, contact a professional leather technician or reach out to ARV Furniture’s support for advice or repair services.
🏠 Bonus Tip: Humidity Matters
Use a humidifier in dry environments to prevent the leather from drying out and cracking over time.
For best results, always refer to the care tag or warranty guide provided with your ARV Furniture leather pieces, as different leather types require slightly different treatments.
