Keeping your furniture clean throughout the year can become a difficult task, especially if you have children and pets running around the house each day. Spills and accidents happen all of the time, whether they involve food, art materials or a pet’s slobber, your furniture can take quite a beating from day to day living. Upholstery can become stained when a spill is not immediately attended to and your couch will be left looking like an old piece of dirty furniture that makes your living room feel a little unattractive. Leather furniture cannot be treated like other upholstered furniture and requires special attention when it comes to proper cleaning.

Vacuuming & Dusting Leather Furniture

When taking care of your leather couch, love seat or chair it is important to know what and what not to do when you are trying to remove an unsightly stain, or simply wanting to put a new shine on it. The first step to take when properly caring for your leather furniture is to dust the piece thoroughly. When dusting your leather furniture, pay close attention to the cracks and crevices between the cushions of your furniture. It is helpful to use a vacuum cleaner for larger pieces of debris, and after vacuuming, use a soft cloth to wipe the rest of the furniture down. If you fail to completely remove all of the dust off of your leather furniture, you take the risk of potentially scratching your leather when you move onto the next step. Small dust and dirt particles can damage the surface of your leather sofa by scratching the leather and leaving permanent marks on your furniture. Also be very careful when you are vacuuming your leather furniture, the fixtures on a vacuum can also scratch your leather furniture. Your best bet for cleaning your leather furniture without damaging it is to hire a professional to get the job done properly.
