As a member of the sofa family, leather sofas are beloved for their dignified elegance, luxury, and durability. Mixing and matching elements is a trend in various fields. Leather sofas retain their luxurious character while incorporating a variety of rich elements. Their colors are vibrant and rich, their shapes are light and concise, and they exude a modern and fashionable feel. But how can you effectively clean and maintain a leather sofa?

For a newly bought leather sofa, first use a towel dipped in clean water, wring it out and wipe off the dust and dirt on the surface of the sofa. Then wipe the sofa with a care agent once or twice to form a protective film on the surface of the leather sofa, which will be more conducive to future maintenance of the sofa. For example, if you have a leather sofa in the living room, you should apply a care agent on the surface when you first buy it. This will not only extend the service life of the leather sofa, but also make it much easier to maintain in the future.

Try not to stain the sofa with ballpoint pen or ink. If you accidentally leave a mark on the sofa with ballpoint pen, wipe it clean with an eraser immediately after you find it. No matter what brand of leather sofa it is, if you accidentally stain the sofa with ballpoint pen or ink, you should wipe it clean with an eraser immediately, so that you can better maintain the leather sofa in the future.

If you accidentally leave cracks or scratches on your sofa, grind egg white into ink for black leather sofas, or paint colored leather sofas with the appropriate watercolor paint. Once dry, apply varnish. If the crack is relatively large, apply adhesive evenly on both sides of the crack, wait about 10 minutes, then tighten the crack and glue it together. Finally, use an eraser to erase any traces of glue. Leather sofas manufactured by leather sofa manufacturers have a certain service life. When a leather sofa exceeds its service life, cracks will appear. At this time, effectively repairing the leather sofa is a good method.

If you find your leather sofa has a hole, please contact a leather sofa dealer or leather sofa manufacturer for repair. Be sure to ask a professional to repair it. Do not try it yourself at home, as it may damage the sofa.
