Leather furniture adds a timeless and luxurious touch to any living space, but it requires consistent care to preserve its texture and shine. Follow these expert maintenance tips from ARV Furniture to keep your leather pieces looking new for years:
1] Regular Dusting and Cleaning:
Wipe your leather sofa, chair, or recliner weekly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and distilled water. Avoid harsh detergents or alcohol-based cleaners as they can cause cracks and discoloration.
2] Condition Every 6–12 Months:
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore natural oils and maintain flexibility. Conditioning prevents dryness and helps resist surface cracking, especially in heated or air-conditioned environments.
3] Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat:
Place your leather furniture away from windows, radiators, and fireplaces. Prolonged heat or UV exposure can fade and stiffen the leather.
4] Clean Spills Immediately:
Blot—not rub—spills with a clean cloth. For greasy marks, sprinkle a small amount of cornstarch or baking soda, let it absorb, then gently wipe away.
5] Use Gentle Vacuuming:
Vacuum crevices regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris that could scratch the surface.
6] Rotate Cushions:
If your furniture has removable cushions, rotate them regularly to ensure even wear and maintain shape.
7] Avoid Sharp Objects and Pets’ Claws:
Keep keys, jewelry, and pets’ nails away to prevent scratches and tears.
With these simple maintenance habits, your ARV Furniture leather collection will remain elegant, supple, and comfortable for many years.
