What are some common tips for maintaining genuine leather sofas?

In people's minds, genuine leather sofas are high-end, elegant, sturdy, and durable. With the improvement of living standards, genuine leather sofas have entered more and more homes. However, many people know very little about the maintenance of genuine leather sofas and don't know how to care for them. Below, Delo Leather Sofas will introduce some common genuine leather sofa maintenance techniques.

Genuine leather sofas are inherently sensitive to high temperatures. Therefore, they are easily exposed to direct sunlight or certain items that generate heat, such as radiators, stoves, high-temperature hair dryers, irons, and air conditioners running in winter. Lighters and hot water bottles placed on top of leather sofas should also be kept away from them to prevent the leather from fading or hardening due to high temperatures. Since living room leather sofas are frequently used and items are easily placed on them, it's important to be mindful of these precautions.

When sitting on the sofa, avoid sitting in the same spot every time. Change your position to help the leather sofa maintain its shape. You can also try patting the sofa, especially the areas where you often sit and the edges. Regularly patting these areas helps restore its shape and reduces dents. Leather sofa manufacturers typically use solid wood frames, but with prolonged use and improper handling, the frame can develop problems, leading to the sofa sagging.

Do not apply wax-containing stains to the surface of genuine leather sofas, as this can easily clog the leather pores. Over time, this can cause the leather to harden, and even deform and break. Regardless of the brand, if the pores of the leather are clogged, the leather will harden or break. You can use leather care products to wipe the sofa regularly. This will clean it and form a protective film on the surface, preventing stains from easily penetrating the leather pores.
