Proper care of leather furniture - preserving timeless elegance

Leather is a luxurious and timeless material for furniture. While many materials lose their shine over time, leather has a unique characteristic: it becomes more beautiful over time. Leather furniture is particularly stylish and elegant, but also robust and durable. It adds timelessness and sophistication to any room. With the right care, you can preserve the beauty of your leather furniture such as sofas and armchairs for longer and significantly extend their lifespan.

Correct cleaning is the be-all and end-all

Regular cleaning is the basis of all leather care. Smooth leather can dry out over time and then become brittle, which can lead to creases and cracks. Of course, we want to avoid this. Dust and dirt, in turn, can roughen the leather surface. To avoid this and to preserve the beauty of our leather furniture for longer, we recommend regular cleaning. Remove dust with a soft, dry cloth. Light soiling can also be removed weekly with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using scouring or abrasive cleaning agents, as these can damage the leather instead of cleaning it. To protect the leather from drying out and to keep it supple at all times, use a special leather care cream. A good leather care cream moisturizes and protects the leather from drying out. For correct application, we recommend that you follow the instructions on the packaging.

Treating stains and soiling

When it comes to deep-seated stains or soiling - always use a special leather cleaner for your type of leather furniture. Leather grease is the perfect weapon against liquids. If you accidentally spill liquid on your favorite leather sofa or chair, leather grease is the miracle cure - it ensures that the liquid does not penetrate the pores of the leather and the leather remains supple. First, wipe the liquid off immediately to prevent it from penetrating the leather. Then apply a small amount of leather grease to a soft cloth and gently massage it into the leather. Once the leather grease has been absorbed, buff the area with a clean, soft cloth to remove excess grease and smooth the leather. It is important to react quickly and appropriately to stains. A special leather cleaner can help with stubborn stains. Find out in advance which cleaning agent is suitable for your type of leather to avoid damage and discoloration. We also recommend that you first test the cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area of the upholstered furniture to ensure that the leather does not stain.

Optimum protection

In addition to regular cleaning and the appropriate treatment of stains, protecting your leather furniture from external influences is very important. It is best to avoid direct heat and sunlight to preserve the beauty and durability of your leather furniture for longer. Excessive room humidity is also not good for leather. For optimum protection against stains and dirt, we recommend the use of slipcovers, which protect the leather well against wear and tear and are fashionable and comfortable at the same time.
