How to clean a leather sofa: tips

The sofa, that rest furniture in which we spend a good part of our free time: dinners or aperitifs with friends or family, movie afternoons or nights of favorite series.
An element that, in addition, becomes a decorative component in living rooms, dining rooms or playrooms, taking all the prominence of the room.

The leather sofa, if it is of top quality, needs little care and maintenance, but when cleaning it we should follow a series of simple tips that will avoid stains and scratches:

  • When dusting, use a simple damp cloth. Do not apply cleaning products, they can damage the skin or leave stains.
  • For a deeper cleaning, use a vacuum cleaner for those corners or gaps where crumbs, small papers or lint may have entered and then remove the dust by passing a cloth dampened in soapy water. Then, remove the soap residue with a cloth dampened in cold water and then dry it.
    *Do not rub hard, gentle circular movements will be more than enough.
  • In cases where you want to give shine to your leather sofa in Malaga. Remove the dust with a clean cloth dampened in water with neutral pH soap, as we have indicated in previous lines. After drying, moisturize the leather with special milk for sofa skins in gentle, circular movements. You will be surprised by the result: bright as the first day!
  • As a last tip, we recommend that you do not use cleaning chemicals such as bleach or homemade cleaning tricks that we are used to reading in blogs, as we can discolor and damage the skin (let’s not forget that it is natural animal skin and they are more prone to being stained by products.

As general tips:

  • Avoid sun exposure of a leather sofa as the color can be damaged. The same can happen if you have a leather lamp with high-intensity light near your furniture, so be careful with these details.
  • As for heating, if you have radiators nearby, they should be at least half a meter away, if you don’t want the heat to end up damaging your skin.
