Step 1: Routine Maintenance (Monthly)

Consistent light cleaning is more effective than occasional deep cleaning.

• Vacuum regularly: Use a brush attachment to remove dust and crumbs, especially in seams and crevices.
• Wipe down surfaces: Use a soft microfiber cloth lightly dampened with water.
• Clean spills immediately: Blot liquids quickly with a clean cloth to prevent absorption.

Step 2: Deep Cleaning (Every 3–6 Months)

Deep clean your leather couch depending on usage, pets, and household activity.

• Spot test first: Always test cleaners in an inconspicuous area.
• Use leather-safe cleaners: Avoid bleach, ammonia, or harsh chemicals. A mild soap solution or dedicated leather cleaner works best.
• Apply properly: Spray cleaner onto a cloth, not directly on leather, and clean using circular motions.
• Air dry: Let the couch dry completely before use.

Step 3: Conditioning (Every 6–12 Months)

Conditioning helps maintain softness and prevents cracking by restoring natural oils.

• Apply conditioner: Use a soft cloth to gently apply a high-quality leather conditioner.
• Buff the surface: After absorption, buff with a clean cloth for a soft sheen.
• Recommended products: Leather Master Soft Cleaner and Uniters Protection Cream Conditioner are highly rated options.

What to Avoid

• Do not soak leather or use excessive water.
• Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia.
• Do not use oily or petroleum-based cleaners.
• Avoid placing leather furniture in direct sunlight.
