subject: How To Maintain And Take Care Of Your Leather Modern Sofa [print this page] 1. Leather modern sofas are prone to cracks and fades from heat exposure. To avoid this, make sure you place the furniture far from the fireplace or any the window, where it will be exposed directly to sunlight.
2. To keep the leather modern sofa clean, dont forget to vacuum it every two weeks. If dirt has accumulated, you can use a damp, soft cloth to wipe the surface. You must dont forget, though, to test the leather first to make sure that it wont absorb the water by slightly damping the surface. If the sofa absorbs water, use a soft, dry cloth instead.
3. You must not forget to blot out spill immediately after it happens. Waiting for it to dry can damage the quality of the leather. Do this by using a dry cloth and allowing the sofa to air-dray. Never wipe the spill otherwise youll spread the moisture all over.
4. When cleaning the sofa generally, use slightly damp, soft cloth free of any cleaning detergent or soap. These products oftentimes contain chemicals that do more harm than good to the leather. If in case a stain remains for a longer period, take the sofa to a leather specialist and have it cleaned. Never try to clean persistent stains yourself especially if youre not experienced enough for the job.
5. Since leather can be tremendously vulnerable to scratches, avoid using any sharp objects while sitting on or walking around it. Fortunately, you can easily erase light scratches by gently rubbing the surface with your clean fingers.
6. Purchase some quality leather conditioner and remember to use it only twice each year.
7. Before buying the leather modern sofa, make sure it is accompanied by warranty. You also have the option to purchase some sort of protection plan for the furniture in order to insure its long life.
