Leather Lounge Suite NZ – Take care of your leather.
Taking care of your leather lounge suite NZ, makes all the difference. There is nothing quite as luxurious and timelessly appealing as a genuine leather lounge suite. Although it is one of the more expensive upholstery options, it remains one of the most popular, and it is easy to understand why.
Genuine leather is flexible, comfortable, and if taken care of, can last a long time.
In fact, unlike fabric, it improves with age, and remains one of the most durable forms of upholstery on the market as it is fire-, crack- and tear-resistant. It promises to hold its shape well over the years, and the aging patina of the leather will gradually add to the sofa’s charm.
Taking care of leather
With the correct care, your leather sofa will age gracefully, providing many years of good looks, enjoyment and comfort.
Regular maintenance of leather is quite simple, but it is important to buy products that have been approved by the manufacturer of the sofa in question.
Take these steps
One
Wipe your leather sofa down regularly with a dry, clean, cotton cloth to remove any dust or other particles. Alternatively, you can use your vacuum’s hose attachment to make the job easier.
Two
Use a damp cloth to remove stubborn dust and dirt. Never soak the leather in any form of liquid, not even soap or water.
Three
If you spill anything onto your leather sofa, remember that if you rub it in, you will stain it. Rather pat the area down with a dry absorbent cloth until the stain is removed.
Four
Regularly apply a leather conditioner (every six to 12 months) to keep it from drying out and developing cracks.
Five
Keep leather out of direct sunlight to avoid it fading and becoming brittle.
Six
Scratches made by pets or small cracks can be gently buffed away with a microfiber cloth.
Seven
Avoid sitting on the edges of your sofa’s cushions or its arms, as this may cause uneven wear.
Eight
Keep leather at least 30cm away from any direct heat source to avoid heat damage.
