How to Clean Leather Furniture

Know how to clean leather furniture for your list of house cleaning services. Leather furniture has become more affordable over the years and you'll find leather furniture in clients' homes at all income levels.

That sexy leather sectional may have looked great when it was first bought, but without proper care and cleaning, it will soon look worn and dirty. While cleaning leather furniture does take some care to ensure that it does not get damaged, the process really isn't that hard and doesn't take a great deal of time.

How to Clean Leather Furniture -- The Weekly Steps

The best way to keep furniture looking great, is to get in the habit of cleaning the furniture weekly. For the most part, weekly cleaning can easily be done with just a simple dry cotton cloth. Wiping the leather furniture down weekly with a dry cotton cloth will help to remove dust, and help keep the furniture looking great.

Another way to clean the furniture for general cleaning, would be to use a very mild and gentle moisturizing soap with a soft cloth. Only a little bit of the soap is needed, and the leather should not become saturated. There isn't even a need to rinse the soap away. Just use a dry cloth and buff it dry.

How to Clean Leather Furniture -- The Seasonal Steps

In order to keep leather furniture looking its absolute best, it should be thoroughly cleansed at least once every season. Over time, leather can become damaged by general soiling, perspiration and body oils. If not removed, the leather can become spotty and dingy looking, and that sexy sectional will be a dingy dud!

A thorough cleaning for leather is a bit more complex than a general weekly cleaning. To clean leather properly, a cleanser that is designed specifically for leather furniture must be used. The following products should NEVER be used to clean leather furniture.

  • Furniture polish oil
  • Varnish
  • Ammonia
  • Saddle Soap
  • Abrasive Cleaners
  • General All Purpose Cleaners

Use a high quality leather friendly cleaner, and cleaning leather furniture is actually quite simple. Use a soft cotton cloth so you don't scratch the leather. Simply pour a little bit of leather cleaner onto the cloth until it is dampened, not saturated. Rub the cloth onto the leather, making sure to pay special attention to the areas that get the most contact with skin. For best results, follow up with a leather conditioner that is designed to be use specifically on leather furniture.

By following these instructions on how to clean leather furniture, you can help leather furniture last for years to come, and keep it looking like it just came off the showroom floor.
