Simple care tips to protect, clean and maintain your sofa

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.

DAILY CARE

Keeping It Looking Great

Regular care goes a long way in maintaining the look and feel of your leather.

  • Dust weekly with a soft, dry cloth
  • Keep away from direct sunlight
  • Avoid placing near heat sources

CLEANING

Clean Gently

For light cleaning, keep it simple and gentle

  • Use a slightly damp cloth
  • Wipe gently, don't soak
  • Dry immediately with a clean cloth

CONDITIONING

Keep Leather Soft & Supple

Conditioning helps maintain softness and prevents drying or cracking

  • Apply every 6 - 12 months
  • Use a leather-specific conditioner
  • Test on a small, hidden area first

WHAT TO AVOID

Protect Your Investment

For longevity and to protect your sofa, do not use

  • Harsh chemicals or cleaners
  • Baby wipes or alcohol-based products
  • Excess water
  • DIY solutions like vinegar or household cleaners

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.
