Leather Sofa, Couch Care
Leather is a natural product with its own unique characteristics,
style, comfort and durability. The leather industry is one of the
oldest known to man and its methods have changed little over the
years. Upholstering leather furniture is still work of
craftsmen.
When purchasing a traditional hand made English leather sofa care
should be taken to treat the leather and look after the furniture
in the correct way.
As with all leather furniture, leather sofas are hard wearing and
if manufactured in the traditional way are very robust.
The main area for concern is the cleaning and treatment of the
leather. Leather should be cleaned with no more than mild detergent
i.e. fairy liquid. Not at any point should bleaches or man made
solvent cleaners be used as this can attack and damage the leather.
Clean gently using circular motions in order to lift the dirt from
the grain of the leather. Once dried naturally the leather sofa can
then be treated with a specialist hide food which can be bought
from all reputable furniture stores.
Once this is applied it will help prolong the life of the leather
by keeping it supple. Many modern hide foods contain leather
fragrance agents.
If your hand made leather sofa has been manufactured in any of the
superior aniline leathers, different cleaning methods are required
which your retailer will be able to advise you of as there are many
different styles and finishes. Some absorb and stain very easily
with moisture so great care must be taken to only use recommend
products.
