4 golden rules for caring for your leather furniture

When you choose a leather sofa or sectional, you’re not just decorating your living room, you’re inviting in a piece that will share daily moments, cozy nights, and family memories. With a bit of simple care, your leather furniture can age beautifully and stay comfortable for many years. 

Tip 1: act fast on liquid spills 

If water or another non-oily liquid spills on your leather, stay calm and move quickly. Don’t rub the spot; instead, gently blot it with a clean, dry cloth to absorb the liquid. This helps prevent it from soaking in and keeps pieces like the Calvera leather sectional sofa looking fresh.

Tip 2: treat oil-based marks gently

For oily spills like sauce, makeup, or body oils, first lift any excess carefully with a spoon or similar utensil. Then, press a paper towel lightly over the area to absorb the oil. Finish with a leather-specific cleaner, always testing it first on a hidden area, especially on refined pieces such as the Marquis leather sectional sofa.

Tip 3: pick the right spot at home

Sun and heat are not leather’s best friends. Keep your sofa away from direct sunlight and strong heat sources like radiators or heating vents, which can dry and fade the leather over time. Using curtains or blinds and placing pieces like the Prima leather sectional sofa  a bit away from heat helps maintain softness and colour.

Tip 4: follow a simple care routine

A small, steady routine is better than big repairs later. Lightly dust or vacuum your sofa with a soft brush attachment once a week. Then, apply a good leather conditioner about once a year. This keeps the leather nourished, flexible, and resistant to everyday wear, whether it’s a classic sofa or a modern design like the Fuego leather sectional sofa.
