Typically, leather furniture will last longer than its upholstered competitors. Anyone who has ever owned a nice piece of leather furniture can tell you that proper care will not only prolong its life but also keep it looking attractive for many years.
Just like fine wood furniture, it’s important to keep leather furniture away from heat sources. Leather can stiffen, crack and fade when placed too closely to a fireplace or in an area that receives direct sunlight. All leather furniture should be dusted or vacuumed regularly. Accumulated dirt or debris should be removed with a soft cloth that is slightly dampened. Always test an inconspicuous spot to make sure that the leather is not absorbing the water prior to washing the entire surface area though. Spills happen and when they do, you should never wipe leather during the clean up process. Instead use a dry cloth and blot the spill until it is removed.
Leather can be tricky to clean when you have a stubborn stain, but you should never use cleaning solvents, detergents, ammonia or soap on it. These products can all permanently damage the surface of the leather. You should also be mindful of placing any newspapers or other printed materials on leather furniture. Ink dyes will transfer and the remaining stains are very difficult to remove. Most manufacturers will advise you that leather furniture should be conditioned every 6 to 12 months to prolong its life and keep it looking beautiful.
