2025-10-25

Many people think that leather sofas are easy to clean when choosing a sofa, and then they don't pay attention to maintaining the leather sofa in daily life, which shortens the service life of the leather sofa. How to clean and care for leather sofas properly? Let's take a look at it below.

1. When you buy a new leather sofa, first use a clean thin cloth to wipe the dust off the surface of the sofa. Do not scrub or wash it with tap water.

2. Apply high-quality leather simulation oil or leather protective film to the surface of the leather sofa. The benefits of this are: it will not be difficult to clean with any cleaning liquid in the future, it will be difficult for children to draw on the sofa surface with various oils, and it can also prevent mold. If the leather sofa manufacturer uses full cowhide, then applying leather simulation oil on the sofa surface will be very beneficial in the future.

3. Leather sofas are generally maintained once every 1-6 months. When the leather sofa is dry, if there are wrinkles on the surface, it must be maintained, otherwise it will crack and be damaged.

4. Ensure good ventilation in your home: excessive dryness or humidity will accelerate the aging of leather sofas. Secondly, leather sofas should not be placed in areas exposed to direct sunlight or air conditioning, as this will cause the soft leather to harden and fade. If the living room is often exposed to sunlight, it is recommended to rotate the position of the leather sofa from time to time to prevent obvious color cast. If the humidity is high, you can use weak sunlight from 8 to 10 o'clock in the morning for about an hour.

5. Anti-scratch: Since cowhide sofas are very easy to be scratched, artifacts such as CNC blades and needles should be kept away from cowhide sofas to prevent scratches.

6. Maintain the stability of the sofa: In order to prevent the sofa from deforming and increase its service life, children should be prevented from jumping and playing on it, as this can easily damage the internal structure of the sofa, and sweat should be prevented from falling on the sofa, as sweat has a slight corrosive effect on leather sofas, which will cause a certain degree of damage to the sofa over time. Also, other objects should be prevented from being pressed on it irregularly, as this can damage the structure of the sofa and cause serious deformation of the sofa.
