Leather has many properties which make it superior to other materials used
in upholstered furniture.
Leather outlasts fabric 4 to 1.
Leather gains desirable character with age (looks better with age)
Leather color will not wear off (will not change color with wear)
Leather is twice as strong as fabric (no problems with seams pulling apart)
Leather is Always Comfortable (always room temperature and comfortable to
your skin)
Leather is easy to care for. Naturally, though, there are several things you
can do to make leather last longer.
Routinely dust and vacuum leather including
using a crevasse tool to get into areas where dirt can cause abrasion problems.
A very dry environment will cause the leather to become brittle and
crack. Keep the room humidity at a comfortable level for you and the leather.
cleaners Check the Manufacturer's directions before using leather cleaners.
Always test any leather cleaner on a small hidden area for compatibility. Allow
to dry thoroughly.
Again, check manufacturers specifications for leather
conditioning directions. If directions indicate, provide the leather with a
nourishing, oily moisturizing agent. Choose one that contains wax and, if possible,
a UV inhibiting factor.
The Ultraviolet light in sunlight is tough on leather. Keep
your leather out of direct sun. Use a UV inhibiting leather conditioner.
Use lukewarm distilled water. Dab abundantly with a clean
sponge on an area larger than the spill. Absorb the liquid with a dry clean
sponge or cloth. Do not rub. Feather the edges of the wet spot to prevent water
rings.
Greasy spills will eventually be absorbed into the leather and
disappear. In an emergency, use a mild, unscented soap with distilled water.
Dab the spot carefully with the solution. Avoid soaking the leather. Allow
to air dry.
