Leather sofas and chairs are synonymous with luxury, comfort and style. To keep them looking good, you’ll need to give them some TLC. Let’s take a look at chem dry carpet cleaning tips to make leather lounges shine like brand new.
Let’s first talk about dusting. Dust is attracted to leather surfaces. To remove the dust, use a soft rag or vacuum cleaner with brush attachment. It’s easy and quick, but it makes a huge difference! It’s like giving your couch a mini-spa day.
Now, spills happen. You must act quickly to clean up any spills, be it coffee, wine, chocolate, or a smudge of chocolate from a movie. Wipe the spill off with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. Rubbing can spread stains and damage leather surfaces. If water doesn’t work, add some mild detergent to warm water. Dab gently at the stain.
Have you noticed those irritating scratches? Uninvited guests are annoying but inevitable. If you have minor scratches, rub them gently using your finger. Your skin’s natural oils may be able to help. Use a leather cream or conditioner for deeper scratches.
You can use conditioners on your skin, too! Leather conditioners help keep your lounge supple, and will prevent it from cracking with time. Use conditioner at least every six months. Imagine moisturizing the couch.
Have you got an ink smear? Don’t panic! It’s not impossible to remove ink stain, it is just difficult. Dab some rubbing alcool onto a cotton-swab. Gently blot until the stain lifts. Be sure to test out this method in a hidden area first.
The sun can also be a threat to leather lounges. A prolonged exposure can lead to fading and material drying. You can try to position your couch away directly from the sun or use curtains or blinds at peak hours.
Pet owners know that fur sticks to everything–including leather lounges! Pet hair can be easily removed with a lint brush or damp cloth. And what if Fido’s left claw marks? Above, you can see the sneaky scratches!
Regular cleaning doesn’t just improve the look of your furniture; it extends their life significantly. Spend a few minutes every week on these little maintenance tasks. You’ll see the benefits in the longevity of your furniture.
Life throws us curveballs. Maybe your toddler is the culprit of a permanent-marker mishap. Professional cleaners may be worth hiring in such situations where DIY solutions have failed (and sanity has been compromised).
You should also be aware that every leather type has its own unique characteristics. What may work for one, might cause disasters for another. Be sure to check with the manufacturer before attempting new techniques or products on your favourite piece.
A final word: do not use harsh chemicals! It can remove natural oils, leaving the leather dry as dust. Nobody wants this kind of drama to unfold on their living-room centerpiece!
