LEATHER FURNITURE
How to care for after repairs?
Furnicare
Leather furniture adds a touch of elegance and comfort to any home. However, once repaired, it requires regular upkeep to preserve its appearance and durability. If you’ve recently had leather furniture repair, following a few simple maintenance steps will help protect your investment for years to come.
CLEAN GENTLY TO PRESERVE THE SURFACE
• Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth
• For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild leather-specific soap
• Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the leather’s natural oils
• Always test any cleaning products on a small, hidden area before full application
CONDITION THE LEATHER TO PREVENT CRACKING
• Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every 6 to 12 months
• Use a clean cloth to apply conditioner evenly, then buff gently
• Ensure the product is suitable for your type of leather
KEEP IT AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES
• Keep it away from radiators, fireplaces, and heating vents
• Maintain it in a cool, shaded spot
• If placing near a heat source is unavoidable, use protective covers or reposition the furniture slightly
PROTECT FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT
• Place leather furniture away from direct sunlight
• Use curtains or blinds to shield from UV rays
• If moving the furniture isn’t possible, use a protective leather cover
HANDLE SPILLS IMMEDIATELY
• Blot the spill gently with a clean, dry cloth—do not rub
• For persistent stains, use a leather-friendly cleaner
• If unsure, consult a professional rather than using household cleaning products
AVOID SHARP OBJECTS THAT CAN CAUSE
DAMAGE
• Keep keys, zippers, and sharp objects away from leather surfaces
• If you have pets, use cushions or protective covers in high-use areas
• Avoid wearing sharp jewellery when sitting on leather furniture
INSPECT REGULARLY FOR SIGNS OF WEAR
• Loose stitching
• Cracks or drying areas
• Signs of fading or discolouration
