How to Clean Leather Furniture

   
Leather furniture requires specific methods of care. With regular maintenance and the right products, you can keep a leather sofa clean and in good condition. Use the tips below to clean your leather sofa.
  •     Vacuum the piece of furniture thoroughly, being sure to use the soft brush attachment (leather scratches easily). If the suction on your vacuum is too strong, consider using a smaller hand held vacuum with less power to prevent leaving marks on the leather.
  •     Mix a few drops of liquid soap with about a quart of distilled water, mixing until suds form.
  •     Test a small, inconspicuous area of the furniture first.
  •     Dip one of the rags in the soapy water and wring out thoroughly.
  •     Working one section at a time, wipe the surface of the furniture with the damp rag.
  •     Dip a separate rag in clean distilled water (no soap), wring thoroughly, and wipe away the soap residue.
  •     Dry thoroughly with the third rag.
  •     To protect your leather furniture, keep it from fading, drying out and/or cracking, avoid placing it in direct sunlight and keep it at least two feet away from any heat (i.e. heating vents, fireplaces, radiators, etc.) and air conditioning sources.
