Love Your Leather Sofa? You Need to Check Out Our Top Five Care Tips.

We love a leather sofa. Not only can they be chic and on-trend, but a good quality suite in a timeless style can be a great investment.
Famously, leather improves with age. It softens and often takes on its own characteristics. But leather must be properly maintained if it is to age in an aesthetically pleasing way, avoiding cracking and other unwanted marks. It’s also worth remembering that leather hides are all individual and vary in colour and texture, so there might be a slight variation from one to the other, even if two items are ordered in the same shade. This is a natural quality of the material.
- Keep the leather away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid placing the leather near direct heat or air conditioning, as this will dry it out and result in cracks.
- Natural oils produced by the body can affect leather, so regular cleaning with a leather-specific product is essential.
- Dust and dirt can be absorbed by the exterior and disturb the surface if not regularly cleaned.
When it comes to products to treat and care for your sofa, things can get a little trickier. It’s vital you ensure you always test leather cleaners and creams on an inconspicuous area of your piece first, to ensure there’s no reaction between the natural material and the product your applying, as well as making sure you’ve sourced a reputable brand of leather cleaner.
That’s why we’re incredibly proud to announce the launch of our very own leather care kit that not only give you peace of mind but work a treat too.
