1st Tip: The Traditional Cloth is Always the Key
So, the first and probably most important tip of all, you should never forget the importance of a clean and dry cloth, when it comes to taking care of your leather furniture items.
Are you ready to start cleaning? Great, than grab that microfiber cloth and start wiping! If you find some more stubborn stains, don’t despair, just add a little bit of distilled water, but be sure that your cloth is not soaking wet and never, I mean never, use abrasive brushes!
Remember, no one wants to be seated on the top of a dust pile!
2nd Tip: Vacuing was never so important, and don’t forget the crevices!
So, you’ve passed the first step and still have your leather furniture item, intact, congrats! Now, on to the vacuum cleaning part! Always remember to vacuum your leather products with a soft bristled brush on the vacuum’s hose attachment and, if you can, remove the cushions, common it’s not that hard! Okay, if you’re unable to do that, just vacuum those crevices as if life was ending today!
If you want to keep your baby for more than a week, vacuum the entire surface and if you’re in a mood for it, add a narrow ended attachment to go deeper, I mean really deep!
3rd Tip: How dare you spill juice on it! Clean it now!
Okay, so you just spilled water on your leather armchair and you’re panicking, stop it! You need to act fast! Grab a dry cloth or a sponge and absorb the mess you’ve created, now! Take the dry cloth and just put in on the top of the stain for just 5 seconds and hope for the best!
If your water had something on it, add a tiny dab of gentile soap with warmer water to avoid crying!
4rd Tip: Use the right products or your leather will suffer
I know you’re super upset cause you just spilled water on your leather chair, but for the love of God, don’t wear detergents, solvents, all-purpose cleaning sprays, ammonia or any other furniture polish items, they’ll make it even worst!
I really hope you bought a leather-specific cleaner when you bought your leather furniture items, you did right? Just store it next to your armchair and in case of emergency, just use it, now now now!
