How to Make Your Leather Sofa Last Longer: Maintenance Tips

Taking care of your leather furniture doesn't have to be complicated. With a few simple steps, you can keep your sofa looking beautiful for years.

Why Leather Care Matters

Leather is a natural material that needs regular maintenance. Without proper care, it can dry out, crack, or fade. Regular cleaning and conditioning help preserve its softness and rich color.

Essential Maintenance Tips

1. Clean RegularlyWipe down your leather sofa weekly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, then dry immediately.

2. Condition Every 6 MonthsApply a leather conditioner twice a year to keep it supple and prevent cracking. Test in a hidden spot first.

3. Protect from SunlightDirect sunlight fades and dries out leather. Keep your sofa away from windows or use curtains.

4. Address Spills ImmediatelyBlot spills with a clean, dry cloth. Never rub, as this can spread stains.

5. Professional CareFor deep scratches, tears, or stubborn stains, contact a professional leather restoration service.
