How to clean and maintain a genuine leather sofa with peace of mind?

During home renovation, we often spend a lot of time and effort selecting furniture, carefully choosing styles and materials to select exquisite, safe, and durable pieces. However, many people neglect furniture maintenance. In fact, besides furniture selection, furniture maintenance is also very important. Due to the special nature of the material, genuine leather sofas require professional cleaning and maintenance methods. So, how should genuine leather sofas be cleaned and maintained? Below, Delo Leather Sofa will provide a detailed introduction.

To prevent leather sofas from becoming difficult to clean later, we can perform some maintenance on them when we first buy them. For example, applying a layer of wax to the surface will make the leather smoother and prevent sweat and dust from penetrating. Secondly, you can use a leather conditioner monthly. In summer, when family members sweat more, the wax can easily be rubbed off, so it's necessary to apply conditioner weekly to keep the sofa looking new. Newly manufactured leather sofas have a smooth and shiny surface, but over time, fading and peeling may occur. Applying a layer of wax to the surface is like providing initial maintenance, preventing future cleaning difficulties.

If the leather sofa surface doesn't have obvious stains but is covered in dust, you can first wipe away the dust with a soft cloth. Then, soak the cloth in a diluted cleaning agent for a deep clean, wring it out, and wipe the sofa dry. If the stains are more severe, with sweat seeping into the sofa, you'll need a professional cleaning agent. First, prepare the cleaning agent, then put it into a dedicated steam cleaner for steam cleaning. Finally, wipe it dry with a cloth. This method can be used to clean any brand of leather sofa.

For partially soiled leather sofas, if a small amount of item, such as chewing gum, is stuck to the sofa, you can first cool it with water, then gently wipe it off with a soft silk cloth dampened with cooled water. If it's stained with ballpoint pen ink or other ink, you can try using an eraser. If the eraser will rub off the color, you should first put a few drops of water on the area to be wiped. It's important to note that leather sofas are made of a special material and should not be cleaned with solutions containing alcohol. Since living room leather sofas are frequently used and easily get stained, care must be taken not to scratch the leather when cleaning them.
