Whether it’s a sofa, chair, or other leather item, here’s how to clean leather safely and keep it looking its best.
- Dust & Vacuum: Gently brush or vacuum loose dirt and dust from the surface.
- Cleaner: Apply a dedicated leather cleaner.
- Wipe Gently: Dampen a soft cloth (don’t soak it!), wring it out well, and wipe the leather in small circular motions.
- Rinse (Optional): Wipe with a second cloth dampened with plain water to remove soap residue.
- Dry: Blot excess moisture with a dry cloth and let the leather air-dry completely, away from heat or sunlight.
- Condition: Apply a leather conditioner with a clean cloth in circular motions to restore moisture and prevent cracking, buffing off any excess.
