Leather Maintenance Tips

How to Care for and Clean Top Grain Leather Furniture

Top grain leather is one of the most durable and long-lasting upholstery materials available. With simple care - promptly cleaning spills, dusting monthly, and conditioning once a year - your leather sofa can last a lifetime. While it comes at a higher initial cost, top grain leather offers exceptional long-term value and is an excellent choice for families seeking beauty, durability, and comfort.

Natural Markings on Leather

All leathers have natural markings, which are a sign of quality. Lower-grade hides are often sanded to remove these markings, making the leather thinner. The photos above show common markings in quality aniline-dyed or pigmented leather. Pigmented leather hides more markings due to the use of pigments instead of transparent aniline dyes.
